Into the Truth -
24. How Eucharistic Adoration Changes Your Life
Have you ever wondered if sitting in silence before the Eucharist could really change your life? In this episode of Into the Truth, Archbishop John Wilson shares his powerful journey - from discovering the Eucharist as an Anglican teenager to finding deep intimacy with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration. In this conversation, Archbishop Wilson explores how the Real Presence of Jesus is not just a doctrine but a transformative encounter that renews hearts, deepens faith, and inspires vocations. Whether you've experienced Adoration before or are simply curious, this discussion will challenge and encourage you to seek Jesus in the Eucharist like never before. Discover more about the beauty of Eucharistic Adoration here.

Communion from the chalice

Our bishops have permitted Communion from the Chalice at Mass to resume from the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Maundy Thursday. Bishop Ralph has sent us two documents, originating in the Northampton Diocese, for us to use in preparation for the reintroduction. We have reformatted these but left the content unchanged. One (‘The Eucharist makes the Church’) is an overview of the Mass, the other (‘Take this and drink’) is specifically about Communion from the Chalice.  Please read them both.
