Pope Benedict XVI has said the Church is witnessing a "springtime in Eucharistic adoration", citing as evidence the Hyde Park vigil during his trip to Britain in September.
He said at his weekly general audience today that young people in particular were finding time to "stop in silence before the tabernacle".
The Pontiff said he hoped this "springtime of the Eucharist" would spread to other places, particularly in Belgium, the birthplace of St Juliana of Liège, a 13th century Augustinian nun, whose devotion to the Eucharist gave rise to the feast of Corpus Christi.
