I am learning to meet my summer Mass shake-ups with grace.

I took this to God and asked for some tools I could use to make the nightly Examen work for my neurodivergent brain.

The method has deep roots in a form of communal discernment that was developed in Canada after the Second Vatican Council.

It was stunning to see that the 10th National Eucharistic Congress had achieved one of its principal aims—Eucharistic coherence.

Discomfort disappeared as quickly as it had come, and I found a community of belonging and belief. We all have a place here at the National Eucharistic Congress.
