The Joy of Mary's Yes: The Joyful Mysteries and the Eucharist | Sister Teresa

Recorded at St Mary Magdalen, Ipswich, on Friday 11 September 2026 during Eucharistic Congress week. Sister Teresa of the Community of Our Lady of Walsingham walks through the five Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, drawing from each a lesson in how Mary can teach us to receive the Eucharist. From Mary’s “yes” at the Annunciation, which Walsingham remembers as “the ground and origin of her joys”, to her search for the child Jesus in the Temple, Sister Teresa reflects on listening, faith, offering up our small sorrows, and growing in desire for Christ. She closes on thanksgiving as the path to joy. A warm and practical talk, with a few personal stories along the way. More at eucharisticcongressipswich.org

Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Foreshadowed in Figures of the Old Testament | Fr Joseph Welch

Recorded at St Pancras, Ipswich, on the opening evening of the Eucharistic Congress Ipswich 2026, this is a meditation rather than a lecture. It traces how women of the Old Testament quietly prepared the way for Mary, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament. Beginning with St Peter Julian Eymard, who first gave Our Lady this title, the talk moves through six women: Eve, whose loss Mary undoes as the second Eve; Deborah, the judge who crushes the serpent; Ruth, ancestor of King David, whose story leads to Bethlehem, the “house of bread”; Hannah, who offered her son Samuel in the temple; the widow of Zarephath, whose flour and oil never ran out; and Judith, hailed as “the glory of Jerusalem”. In each, the speaker draws out God’s providence leading to Mary, who gives the world her Son, the Bread of Life, present in the Blessed Sacrament. More at eucharisticcongressipswich.org

Session 2: The Eucharist is the Greatest Gift of Divine Mercy | Fr Alex Pumphrey

Session 2 of the Eucharistic Congress Ipswich. Fr Alex Pumphrey speaks on the Eucharist as the greatest gift of Divine Mercy. Every Mass makes present the saving sacrifice of Christ, from whose pierced Heart the floodgates of mercy continue to flow upon the world. Drawing on the spirituality of St Faustina and the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, Fr Alex explores the profound relationship between the Eucharist, Divine Mercy and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Together, we discover how every encounter with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament not only heals and forgives us, but also transforms us into ever more faithful witnesses of God’s mercy in our daily lives, following the example of Mary, Woman of the Eucharist.

Session 1: Bread, Wine and the Transformation of Creation | Fr Toby Lees

Session 1 of the Eucharistic Congress Ipswich. Fr Toby Lees speaks on bread, wine and the transformation of creation. The Eucharist is a potent sign of Jesus, the divine, creative Logos, calling all of creation back to Himself. Under the appearance of bread is contained the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, but also a symbol of the whole cosmos. In the sacrifice of Christ, along with the growing of wheat and the making of bread, we gain a rich insight into the nature of the Eucharist, and how the Father places all of creation in the hands of His Son, so that He will transform it into His Body and divinise it. Noting that there are many ways that Christ could have made Himself present to us, it is significant that God gives Himself to us, both under the appearance of bread, as the necessary sustenance for the journey, and as wine, which brings joy along the way. The Eucharist is thus a symbol of joyful sacrifice which takes us out of the misery of a self-centred existence, corresponding to our deepest desire to love and to be loved in return unconditionally.
