This past Summer, I celebrated the tenth anniversary of my installation as Archbishop of Denver. In reflecting back, one theme that stands out is the centrality of the Holy Eucharist to my ministry. The Holy Eucharist has been celebrated in the Cathedral and multiple parishes in the archdiocese and is a part of many of the major decisions I have made as Archbishop. Jesus’ command, “Abide in me, and I in you” (John 15:4), has been a prominent theme in my own spiritual life and I cannot understand Jesus’ words apart from the Eucharist. This is why I am pleased to announce the launch of the National Eucharistic Revival here in the Archdiocese of Denver beginning November 20th with the Solemnity of Christ the King.
