9) Adoration 2nd June 2013
Within the framework of the Year of Faith, and on Sunday 2nd June 2013, the Feast day of Corpus Christi, Eucharistic Adoration took place at the same time (17.00 Vatican time), all over the world.
In the cathedrals of each diocese, and in every church where it was possible, there was a time of adoration, a witnessing of faith that contemplated the mystery of the Living God, Present among us through His Body and Blood.
The Houses of adoration are at the heart of this event since this date marks the day of Consecration for us, each year, and commemorates it as the life of our movement.
They were gathered at Lourdes to live this great event. All those who could not be with us for this gathering, were invited to participate in the event, in the cathedrals of their diocese.
