Year of the Eucharist
"...this Year of the Eucharist for us in the archdiocese is to renew our faith in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, but also to grow in our understanding of all that that implies for us in our Catholic living... the Catholic life is a eucharistic life... [a]nd one of my great hopes for this year is that we will learn those implications in our day-to-day life."
- Archbishop Etienne, Homily, June 14, 2020
We began the Year of the Eucharist in the Archidocese of Seattle on June 14, 2020. Read the complete article from Northwest Catholic. -

"The Church draws her life from the
Eucharist. This truth does not simply express a daily experience of faith but recapitulates the heart of the mystery of the Church. In a variety of ways, she joyfully experiences the constant fulfillment of the promise, “Lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age” (Mt 28:20), but in the Holy Eucharist, through the changing of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of the Lord, she rejoices in this presence with unique intensity. Ever since Pentecost, when the Church, the People of the New Covenant, began her pilgrim journey towards her heavenly homeland, the Divine Sacrament has continued to mark the passing of her days, filling them with confident hope."

Along with the Anima Christi below, there are many prayer resources available for a "Holy Hour" of Eucharistic Adoration.
Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, be my sanctification.
Body of Christ, be my salvation.
Blood of Christ, fill all my veins.
Water of Christ’s side,
wash out my stains.
Passion of Christ, my comfort be.
O good Jesu, listen to me.
In Thy wounds I fain would hide,
Ne’er to be parted from Thy side,
Guard me, should the foe assail me.
Call me when my life shall fail me.
Bid me come to Thee above,
With Thy saints to sing Thy love,
World without end.
Amen.Almo de Cristo
Alma de Cristo, santifícame.
Cuerpo de Cristo, sálvame.
Sangre de Cristo, embriágame.
Agua del costado de Cristo, lávame.
Pasión de Cristo, confórtame.
¡Oh, buen Jesús!, óyeme.
Dentro de tus llagas, escóndeme.
No permitas que me aparte de Ti.
Del maligno enemigo, defiéndeme
En la hora de mi muerte, llámame.
Y mándame ir a Ti.
Para que con tus santos te alabe.
Por los siglos de los siglos.
Amén.
