In His Presence
“The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life’” (CCC 1324) Our worship of our Eucharistic Lord, Jesus - fully and completely present under the consecrated species of bread and wine - continues outside of the celebration of the Mass when the sacred Host is exposed for veneration in our chapel. “This exposition gives us the opportunity for a deep personal encounter with Christ. The holy and glorious God is constantly inviting us to come to him, to hold converse with him, to ask for such things as we need and to experience what a blessing there is in fellowship with him.” (Archbishop Fulton Sheen)
The Lenten Season is a good time to broaden our personal encounter with Christ. Instead of giving something up … let’s do something positive like an hour a week in the Adoration Chapel praying for our shepherds, our Church and world peace.
