"Jesus has remained in the Eucharist to remedy our weaknesses, our doubts, our fears, our anxieties; to cure our loneliness, our perplexity, our discouragement; to accompany us on our way; to uphold us in our struggle. Above all, he is there to teach us to love, to draw us to his Love." Read or download excerpts from Bishop Javier Echevarría's pastoral letter, written on the occasion of the Year of the Eucharist declared by Pope John Paul II.

Bishop Javier Echevarría, then Prelate of Opus Dei, wrote this letter for the Year of the Eucharist proclaimed by Pope John Paul II for 2004.

Bishop Echevarría attended several observances including the blessing of a likeness of St. Josemaría in the basilica of Our Lady of Mercy in Barcelona and the consecration of a new archbishop in Tarragona. He also met with families, members of the Prelature, and cooperators in Viaró and Brafa, two schools in Barcelona.

Bishop Javier Echevarría visited Zagreb, Croatia, for three days at the end of August. A little over a year ago the first center of Opus Dei opened there.
