Pope Leads Catholics around the World in Eucharistic Adoration

Pope Francis worldwide EucharistLast Sunday (June 2), Pope Francis asked Catholics in every time zone to join him in the first ever worldwide simultaneous Eucharistic adoration. At 5:00 pm Rome time, Catholics around the world spent an hour in prayer before a consecrated Communion host. Vatican officials say they don’t know exactly how many people participated, but they’re guessing they didn’t actually get all 40 time zones. At least two of the zones mostly cover stretches of uninhabited ocean.
