This litany was composed and led by Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB for Friday night’s Revival Session at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis in 2024. This is intended to be prayed as a group before the Blessed Sacrament with a leader and responses. It can also be prayed personally and devotionally anywhere, especially by placing ourselves in our imagination before the Eucharist in our favorite Church or even by looking at the Blessed Sacrament in an adoration chapel that is broadcast online. As you pray through this, take your time, and let the words sink into your heart. Try to notice movements in your heart and any particular lines that might stand out. This is an opportunity to expose places that need healing, especially places in our hearts that are ready for healing. It might also help to remember the 50,000 participants who prayed this together at the National Eucharistic Congress in Lucas Oil Stadium.

Heartfelt testimonials from the Litany:

I experienced the most transformational healing of my entire life during the adoration Fr. Boniface led at the Congress. The litany Fr. Boniface led brought into light many hidden wounds. Because of Christ’s merciful love, I was able to place every instance into His wounds as Fr. Boniface processed with the Eucharist around the stadium. The appropriate term for the healing would be “extraordinary”. I assume he was offering the weight of the Monstrance up in prayers for others. Whatever Fr. Boniface was praying during his offering reached my soul. All glory to God. I want to thank Fr. Boniface for his cross that night.
