Being able to kneel before our Eucharistic Lord in a Catholic Church is the highlight of my week. I am able to show my respect to the creator and also am able to commune with those Catholics around me who are praying to our Lord.
I was astounded by the fealty I felt towards the Lord this past Saturday night when 600 young adults from the Boston area joined together to adore the Eucharistic Lord at St. Stephens Church in the North End. It is a splendid achievement for anyone to get 600 young adults to do anything, but these young people prostrate themselves before something much greater than themselves and truly adored the Lord.
Following the Eucharistic Adoration was a Candle procession through the North End which allowed us to show our love for Christ to the people around us. Now I am personally against of vast public displays of faith, but With the Lord leading the processional it felt wrong not to follow. I want to be there. I wanted everyone to know that I was catholic and I was humbly following my Lord.
Fr. Matt Williams was able to along with many others, to organize an event that was nothing less than spectacular. We were able to join together in one voice and say "Glory to God" and really mean it. I only wish we could have been 6,000 instead of 600. The Eucharistic Lord and the Father and Holy Spirit truly deserve our adoration for all they have done for us.
It is upon each and everyone of us to share the gift of our Lord with our friends, family and neighbors. It is our imperative. The Good Shepherd and Eucharistic Lord Jesus Christ has died and Risen for us and our Salvation and it is important for all to know it.

What exactly is "Eucharistic Lord?" I've never heard the two words but together like that.
Catholics believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is taken into the body doing the Eucharist. The Eucharist is Jesus and therefor He is our Eucharistic Lord.
