God our Father, look with favour on Your Church as we prepare with hope and joy to celebrate the (name Diocese) Diocesan Eucharistic Congress in (mention the month and year). Help us to better welcome the gift of Your Son Jesus in this memorial of His death and resurrection, which nourishes our lives as Your children and as brothers and sisters. Send forth Your Holy Spirit that we may better appreciate the gift of "Bread of Love," Life for All"; celebrate it with joy; and become messengers of Christ's life in a world searching for meaning. In following the example of Mary, woman of the Eucharist, may we always give thanks to You, and make a continual offering of ourselves to respond to Your love and fulfill Your will. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord. Amen.
