The Gentle Breeze
It was mentioned in a recent article of the Catholic Herald that there has been in recent times a discernible increase in those drawn to Eucharistic Adoration in parishes and communities, and particularly among young people. Adoration stands as an antidote to the noise and busyness of our world.
As we hear from the account of Elijah at Horeb, the Lord was not in the mighty wind, fire or earthquakes but in “the gentle breeze” (1 Kings 19: 9a, 11-16) After encountering that “gentle breeze” Elijah covered his face with his cloak and stood at the entrance of the cave. “The gentle breeze” might be the Lord calling us from the Blessed Sacrament, and the cloak the call to humble and prostrate ourselves in Adoration.
When you visit the Adoration Chapel this week place yourself in the Real Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ and enjoy His peace and quiet. He will move your heart.
We often sin for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He offers us salvation for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.
