Monsignor James Shea's Full Speech at the National Eucharistic Congress | July 18th, 2024

[@mr.roboto209]

I was at the congress. Basically every speaker if there was a pause of a couple seconds there was an applause. Monsignor Shea was so captivating in this speech the crowd was stunned and drawn in a way that I have never experienced before. Truly one of the best speeches of all time and without notes. The spirit of God flowed through him, and we were blessed from that moment on.

[@PaulaAlinsangan]

You put it so right! The audience was all quiet and my attention was focused from beginning to end, hearing each word he said and feeling his passion in his voice. God does love Fr. Shea.

[@GigiTheBackyardHerbalist]

I wanted to attend so badly. I'm glad it is on video. We hosted a few of the Pilgrims at our church. It was very nice.

[@mrsl5514]

And he's so calm and quiet. It's quite mesmerizing, I guess the truth is!

[@DebraSP]

In a 40 minute talk, he summarized the entire salvation history.

[@dorothysmith7097]

@@GigiTheBackyardHerbalistthat’s awesome. How did you host them? What did you do?

[@coeurclaire]

I watched this speech as a Catholic from Indonesia, never knew this Monsignor before (I listen Bishop Barron podcast regularly), but the moment Monsignor Shea started his speech by praying, it already moved my heart. The way he gave his speech clearly showed it that he really loves Jesus.

[@xiaxiong]

This is one of the best speeches I have ever heard! Thank you so much, Monsognor Shea! God bless you!

[@josephinewalker6181]

Thank you Lord for this man. He gives me words that somehow are locked within me. He speaks what i want to say but do not have the knowledge. Bless you for releasing words within me. You are a gift from God.

The only charity a beggar could give another beggar is to tell the beggar where to get food. We are all beggars, and it is our love to our co beggars to inspire and encourage them to where they get filled, The Holy Eucharist! Thank you to all our Priests! Let us all fervently pray for them, even the blemished ones🙏

[@LucMil0305]

We are blessed! Let us all be blessings to others!

[@LucMil0305]

No Priests, no Sacraments, no Holy Eucharist Whom we would be filled. Let us all offer our children to enter the sacred vocation of Priesthood🙏please pray for my son Jason whom I had been praying longer than St. Monica and my grandson 4 yrs old Lucas to be priests🙏

I have heard Msgr Shea on Relevant Radio on some of the talk shows as he promotes the U of Mary and I praise his vision for the devout focus of the curriculum for the Nursing program, providing tuition, housing and even child care! I never saw him but only heard his compassionate voice until watching this truly comforting ‘homily’! I thank the powers that bring the Eucharistic renewal to us in the trenches and pray for those who haven’t fueled UP on the Truth🎚️

He was the pastor of my small town North Dakota church when I was in high school. The church was full every Sunday, and every Sunday the homily was amazing. He did make sure to remind us that we don’t come to Mass for the homily, we come for the Eucharist.
