Seven Churches Bus Tour on Holy Thursday
Seven Churches Bus Tour on Holy Thursday

At the end of the Holy Thursday Mass, the Eucharist is placed on a temporary “altar of repose” away from the sanctuary. It is customary for the faithful to process together to this altar and spend time in quiet prayer and adoration. In the Roman Missal, it states: “The faithful are invited to continue adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for a suitable length of time during the night, according to circumstance.”

The Seven Churches Visitation is a tradition that grew out of this time of prayer and adoration.

Last week 11 young people and I spent 15 hours serving the community of St Ben’s. These young people gathered for 4 hours for 4 days. We cleaned the church and worked in the school using our gifts of enthusiasm, energy and strength. We talked about the corporal and spiritual works of mercy before we made lunches and cookies for the St Ben’s lunch program and we visited Feed My Starving Children in Schaumburg to help feed those who are hungry in our world. I’m proud of the work they did and their commitment to using their gifts and time, to make a difference.
