The “Visiting Monstrance” is BLESSED by Saint John Paul II - - it depicted here is a visible tool of evangelization used by the Pope John Paul II Eucharistic Adoration Association to enhance devotion to the Eucharist throughout the Archdiocese of Chicago.
This beautiful monstrance was taken to Rome and blessed by Holy Father John Paul II on March 2, 2005, from his room at Gemelli Hospital. He consecrated the vessel specifically to promote Eucharistic Adoration, prayer for priests, and vocations.
It was among the final items to receive a papal blessing by John Paul II, who was called by our Lord to his final rest one month later on April 2, 2005.
