Always Present Before The Lord
In Exodus 17, when the Israelites fought against the Amalekites, Moses interceded before God by raising his hands to ask for the victory. As his arms grew heavy, he enlisted the help of Aaron and Hur to hold his arms raised up to God. And the Lord gave a complete victory to His people. In the same way, through Perpetual Adoration, an adorer is always present before the Lord in an unbroken chain of prayer and intercession. The heart of the parishioner is lifted up to God without cessation; and God gives victory to His people, His Church. He sends His mercy, His peace and His light to chase the darkness from our hearts and the world.
If not already a regular Adorer, say “Yes” to becoming an active member of the Adoration Ministry and spend an hour a week before the Most Holy Eucharist. You fund your heavenly retirement account by doing so!
“ … Christ’s Eucharistic presence brings with it a particular grace making it easier to enter into prayer.”* If you’re having trouble praying - visit the chapel.
