For Catholic singer-songwriter Matt Maher, the 17th chapter of John’s Gospel, in which the Lord prays that all will be one, has fueled his 20 years of itinerant ministry and traveling. Pope Francis meets with Opus Dei prelate Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz
“The Eucharist is Jesus’s high priestly prayer of thanksgiving to the Father. It’s the perfect sacrifice of him offering himself on the cross. But it’s also the fulfillment of one covenant, the institution of another; it’s the center of all history.
“My encouragement to everyone is to hold on to the Eucharist. Don’t let go of that,” Maher said. “My hope is through something like the Eucharistic congress, the Eucharist could actually be the place where everyone — young and old, all sides of the political spectrum — it could be the gravitational center that actually pulled the church back toward itself because that is the place where, eschatologically speaking, the church is one. The church will never not be one in the Eucharist.
He sang that song, on his knees, for Pope Francis and more than 3 million pilgrims along the beach in Rio. The experience was “sort of beyond human sensory understanding. There’s a limit to what your eyes can process and what you can emotionally process in a moment, and then it just is like white noise.”
