This use of the word &#8220;symbol&#8221; is concerning. For Catholics, the Eucharist is not just a symbol; we believe it is truly Jesus \u2014 His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. The irony is that such a disrespectful act seems to come from a lack of understanding or acceptance of this belief. The USCCB\u2019s three-year National Eucharistic Revival aims to address and correct misunderstandings about this core aspect of our faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Associated Press reported, \u201cThe event&#8217;s artistic director Thomas Jolly distanced his vision from any \u201cLast Supper\u201d parallels, saying it was meant to celebrate diversity and global understanding as well as pay tribute to French gastronomy.\u201d Freedom of expression should never come at the expense of anyone\u2019s religious beliefs. DaVinci\u2019s painting represents the pinnacle moment of the Last Supper that comes as Jesus institutes the Eucharist, selflessly offering His Body and His Blood for our redemption! Intention aside, recognizing the possibility of any \u201cconfusion\u201d should have altered the planned tableau.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monstrance-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36876\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monstrance-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monstrance-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monstrance-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monstrance-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monstrance-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Monstrance-240x135.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bishops of France<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Bishops are not the only ones deeply disappointed with the Paris Olympic committee\u2019s decision, The French bishops issued a statement on July 27, which read in part,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile the ceremony was a \u201cmarvelous display of beauty and joy, rich in emotion and universally acclaimed,\u201d they said, it \u201cunfortunately included scenes of mockery and derision of Christianity, which we deeply regret.\u201d \u201cWe would like to thank the members of other religious denominations who have expressed their solidarity with us,\u201d the French bishops wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are thinking of all the Christians on every continent who have been hurt by the outrageousness and provocation of certain scenes.

We cannot undo others&#8217; decisions nor judge their hearts, for we know only God can judge the human heart. Our only remedy is a powerful one\u2014prayer, especially before the Blessed Sacrament. Offer prayers for healing, greater respect and understanding, and for the grace of God upon all responsible and those so deeply hurt by this situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can offer prayer, fasting, and sacrifice for reparations against the Eucharistic Lord. Two powerful devotions include the First Friday and First Saturday devotions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedivinemercy.org\/articles\/join-first-friday-and-first-saturday-devotions\">*learn more here<\/a>), which offer reparation toward the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Hearts of Mary. I think it is no coincidence those both occur this upcoming weekend. Whether you pray the Rosary, Divine Mercy chaplet, attend an extra Mass, or perform Corporal Works of Mercy for this intention, I encourage you to do so with a charitable heart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No resolution will come, and no change will occur if we don\u2019t start with ourselves. As St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Philippians, \u201cHave no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>United in Christ,<br>Bishop da
