“The Catholic religion has a history of taking a very deep and profound spirituality, one that requires an entire lifetime to grow into, and dilute it down to a level a seven-year-old can understand. And then we never grow it back up. Some call this theological reductionism. Often when it comes to religion, we still talk to fully grown, well educated adults like they’re eight years old. We think we need to simplify deep and profound spiritual truths and then wonder why no one listens.” (Constance T. Hull - Spiritual Dirction.com)
Jesus didn’t talk down to people. He talked to them at the level they were at; and that’s the main reason he was able to gather such a strong following. What does this mean to you and me? It means that if we take the time to go to the Adoration Chapel to talk and listen to our Lord, he will answer our prayers in a way each of us will understand.
IHM is always in need of additional ‘committed’ Eucharistic Adorers. As you pray, ask the Holy Spirit if you should get involved with the Adoration Ministry; and don’t forget to pray for the intentions of other adorers that have been logged into the ‘Intention Book’ located on the counter in back of the chapel.
“If I should fall a thousand times a day, a thousand times a day I will begin again, with new awareness of my weakness, promising God, with a peaceful heart, to amend my life.” Father Bruno Lanteri
