The 49th International Eucharistic Congress is currently being held in Quebec, Canada. The theme of the weeklong (June 15-22) assembly is “The Eucharist, Gift of God for the Life of the World.†The program of activities includes a mix of artistic and religious celebrations, workshops, symposia and catecheses.
The organizers have created a media portal where visitors can follow the Congress live via streaming media. Videos of the liturgical celebrations, homilies, conferences, testimonies and other important events are available for free. A number of documentaries are also included in the list of videos for online viewing. It is best to start with the “Just Added†folder because it contains the latest video resources.
The text of the multilingual Congress theme song can be downloaded in PDF format but you have to visit this page to listen to the audio. You can also listen to a good number of Gregorian chants recorded for the Congress here. The Theological Document prepared for the Congress is available in seven languages and can be downloaded from this page.

Great music for the Eucharist video with its upbeat, heart-thumping rhythm resembling the chase of the Frodo team by the big black horse. Then, it turns into some generic Celtic bent that could bring one to some imaginary heights. Like the height of Golgotha? Thanks for the link to the Greg chants…
I really thought the eucharistic congress was a turning point in my life, it really transformed my life, PRAISE YOU JESUS, FOREVER!
