“Way Maker” with Sarah Kroger from the National Eucharistic Congress

In my mind, I keep going back to this moment from last week. Singing “light in the darkness” to the Light of the world in a pitch black room.

Many of you have reached out saying you were so bummed that you couldn’t attend the National Eucharistic Congress, so I wanted to share this snippet from the Saturday night adoration. You can hear me, but you won’t see me — all the focus was on Jesus.

For those who aren’t familiar, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is a practice that Catholics have participated in for over 1,000 years. I won’t give you a Catholic doctrine lesson here ;) but what is most worth knowing about this is that we believe Jesus is truly present in what appears to be bread and wine. And last week in Indianapolis, a stadium full of people gathered around Jesus, who was placed on the 50 yard line in a golden monstrance (from the Latin ‘monstrare’ meaning ‘to show’), and you could hear a pin drop in the moments of silence between songs. He looks at us as we look at Him. He speaks and we listen, we speak and He listens.

I believe he moved, healed, and revived tens of thousands of people at the congress last week and I hope we all can carry that movement, healing and revival to all the places we go and the people we encounter along the way. Thanks to my friend Matt Maher for the invitation to sing. I was so honored to be in the room.
