Enhance Your Christian Life
When Adoration becomes a habit it produces the following Fruits in the Christian life:
Docility of the Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit will lead us to holiness if we but surrender to Her actions and give Her a chance to teach us.
Peace and Surrender - Adoration helps us surrender to the providence of God and once we have done that we can find true peace.
“Let nothing trouble you, Nothing frighten you. All is passing. God changes not. Patience obtains all.
One who has God lacks nothing. God alone is enough.” (St Teresa of Avila)
Inner Silence - Adoration creates in our hearts an inner silence by which we can be ever present to God’s love, and truly listen to what He has to say personally to us.
Humility - Adoration helps us realize who God is - our Creator - and what we are - creatures totally dependent on the Creator. Through humility we grow in holiness and increase our intimate union with God.
Detachment from Idols - Idolatry is an ever recurrent temptation that results from the consequences of original sin. Adoration helps us not to always put ourselves first and to adore God alone.
Obedience - By way of Adoration we make a spiritual offering to God of what we are and surrender our will to His providence. By doing this we get help to obey His will for us.
(source: Adoration In Spirit and Truth - Alain-Marie de Lassus, c.s.j.)
“In Heaven, the occupation of souls will be to adore and to love. Let us begin then, on earth what we’ll be going for all eternity!”
