Any Catholic, whether in his or her own parish or visiting a parish other than his/her own, has surely experienced the confusion that exists in demonstrating reverence for the Blessed Sacrament - whether in the tabernacle or exposed in a monstrance.

First in a series of articles highlighting the Eucharistic Revival of the Catholic Church in the United States. A three-year initiative launched on the Feast of Corpus Christi, June 19, 2022, with the Year of Diocesan Revival. The Eucharistic Revival aims to increase amazement in the Real Presence, a cornerstone of the foundational vocational call to holiness. Without this, we cannot hope to bring others to Christ.
As the Church draws Ordinary Time to a close each year, she looks to the Book of Revelation as both an invitation and a word of caution to the faithful. What does this mean regarding our vocational call to holiness?
