Fr. Andy reads from Luke 6:17, 20-26, the Gospel reading for Sunday, February 16, 2025.

Thousands of faithful gathered at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy for Encuentro Latino 2025, a powerful day of prayer, culture, and community. Pilgrims from across the region came together for Spanish-language Mass, inspiring talks, and a moving rosary procession that led into the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Benediction. The event also featured lively music, children’s activities, and opportunities for confession and spiritual renewal. Families and individuals united in faith, celebrating their heritage while deepening their trust in God’s mercy.

Father Andy Davy is a priest in the order of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He shared some thoughts on the great gift of the Eucharist, and his effort as a “Eucharistic Preacher” during this time of renewal.
