Highlights and Photos by Father John Thomas Lane SSS from the International Eucharistic Congress in Quito, Ecuador
Cardinal Mauro Gambetta, OFM Conv. (Italy) Vicar General for the Vatican City:
• In his supervision of the liturgical activities at Saint Peter’s Basilica, he feels that the Eucharist should always be based on these foundations and fruits: Humility, Gratitude, and Communion.
Archbishop Raul Biord Castillo, Caracas, Venezuela:
• Important distinction – Synodal: we are all ears for one another’s voice! Verses a democratic system, which in many countries models, yet not everyone has a voice or is listened to and heard.
Madre Veronica de la Santa Faz, President of the Carmelites in Ecuador – Prioress of the Monasterio del Carmen Alto:
• Mother Veronica introduced us to Santa Mariana Parades y Flores – the first Ecuadorian Saint. She was a Carmelite nun who entered the same convent as she did.
