COMMENTARY: We Catholics should recognize extraordinary developments like those currently at Asbury University as signs that God himself is already at work to bring about a Eucharistic Revival greater than we could dream of.

What began as an ordinary chapel service at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, has turned into a “revival” that has made headlines in secular media around the world and brought visitors from as far as New Zealand, Indonesia, Finland and Brazil.

Students at that chapel service on Feb. 8, struck by a quiet but powerful sense of the presence of God, did not leave but stayed to worship. Others arrived and the worship went on overnight, then continuously, with no signs of stopping yet (although the university has had to limit public attendance). Those who come describe an atmosphere of deep prayer, with testimonies, tears, conversions, confessions of sin, reading of Scripture and praise.

This past weekend the little town of Wilmore saw an influx of more than 20,000 people hungry for a move of God. Meanwhile, the revival is spreading to other college campuses.

For Catholics, it can hardly escape notice that this revival has occurred as we are eight months into the “Eucharistic Revival” initiated by the U.S. bishops — a three-year movement to renew the Church by rekindling devotion to the Eucharist, the source and summit of our life.

Lord send out Your Spirit and renew the face of the earth [our song] and so LET'S celebrate He is answering.
