In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Brian Walsh — campaign spokesperson for Consecrate America and a member of Dynamic Catholic.

Brian joins me to discuss the powerful movement of consecrating America to the Eucharist, a grassroots initiative that invites the faithful to place the Eucharist at the heart of our national life. This conversation dives into the deep significance of this consecration for our country and for the individual believer, as well as how it ties into the ongoing Eucharistic Revival launched by the U.S. bishops.

But this conversation goes beyond the petition itself — it’s a call to action for families, communities, and individuals to strengthen their devotion to the Eucharist and take ownership of the spiritual renewal we all long for. Brian shares why this is such an essential time in history and how each of us can take part in consecrating ourselves, our families, and our nation to the greatest source of grace on earth.

This episode offers inspiring insights for anyone seeking to renew their relationship with the Eucharist, strengthen their family life, and actively participate in the spiritual revival of our nation.

Topics Covered:

  • The origin story of Consecrate America and the grassroots movement behind it
  • What it means to consecrate America to the Eucharist
  • The spiritual impact of consecration on families and individuals
  • How to engage with the Eucharistic Revival and deepen your devotion
  • Why the Eucharist is the shield we need for the challenges of today’s world
  • The importance of inviting others to experience the grace of the Eucharist
  • What we can learn from the Eucharistic devotion of saints like Mother Teresa
