How To Grow Divinely

 How To Grow Divinely 

Each moment spent in the Real Presence of Our Lord increases His Divine Life within us and deepens our personal relationship and friendship with Him.   “I have come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly.”  “I am the Vine and you are the branches.  Whoever remains in union with Me, shall bear much fruit for without Me you can do nothing.”
    (Jn 10:10; 15:5)

A visit to the Adoration Chapel is both comforting and educational as it teaches us how to be faithful to God’s will.  All we have to do is sit silently in His Presence and let God do the work.  Don’t take my word for it; you can test the experience   
                       yourself - See you in the Chapel!

God Returns The Value Of Your Time A Hundred Fold

 

If You Want To … You Can Find 60 Minutes

Jesus, so longs for us to visit Him in Eucharistic Adoration that He suffered and died to give us the chance to spend eternity with Him.  What a small thing it is, in the realm of salvation, to stop by the chapel occasionally to say Thank You?  Oh! I know the argument - ‘Jesus is present everywhere - I can say Thank You anytime, anywhere.’  But in the chapel He is present in a very special way; a way you don’t find outside of Mass or Adoration.  He knows how important our time is to us.  When we give Him something as important as our ‘time’, He rewards us a hundred fold.  

“The best, the surest and the most effective way of establishing peace on the face of the earth is through the great power of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.”  St John Paul II

Source of Unlimited Grace

“Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament has His hands full of graces and He is ready to bestow them on anyone who asks for them”  (St Peter of Alcantara).  Our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to come and visit Him at our local Catholic Church and make a “Holy Hour” (an hour spent in Eucharistic Adoration) whenever we can.  The Eucharist is the Real Presence of Jesus: He is present body, blood, soul and divinity.  He is our Savior and our Friend.  What a joy it is to spend time with Him!

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen enthusiastically promoted the making of Holy Hours during his lifetime.  He stated, “During a Holy Hour we grow more and more into His (Christ’s) likeness.”  He also remarked, “The only time our Lord asked the Apostles for anything was the night He went into agony.  Not for activity did He plead, but for an Hour of companionship.”

Can’t you find a little companionship time to spend with Him in our Adoration Chapel?

Fatima Anniversary

 First Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima

Beginning May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared six times to the 3 shepherd children at Fatima.  Each time she appeared she stressed the importance of saying the Rosary on a daily basis.  When we say the Rosary, Mary herself helps us to deepen our relationship with her Divine Son Jesus.  The Rosary is a powerful way we can turn to Mary with our needs and petitions.  Sister Lucia, one of the 3 children, said “there is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”

One of the best places to pray the Rosary is in our Adoration Chapel where we find the Real Presence of Our Lord and His Mother.  It is also where you can listen and hear what God has to say to you by simply sitting in His Silence.

 

Our Lord showers us with his blessings when we show him our love by making a weekly commitment to spend an hour in Adoration.  Every hour can accommodate additional Adorers; so make a commitment by going to www.adorationpro.org/ihmmi and clicking on the box that says:  ‘Weekly Commitment’.

Experience The Heavenly Court

 The Presence of the Heavenly Court

Our Savior has brought Heaven to earth by giving us Himself in the Most Blessed Sacrament, for He is the same God who is in Heaven, surrounded by His angels; and in His presence in our chapel we can associate ourselves with all the heavenly court who form an invisible guard around Him.  You would deprive yourself of the sweetest joys of your life if you failed to come and pour out your love and petitions before His real presence.  He allows Himself to be the true refuge of our souls, where we can find comfort, guidance, strength, peace, sanctity, and happiness.  Even though the burdens of our lives seem almost unbearable at times, we all have a Friend who will never fail us - God in the Holy Eucharist.  His Sacred Heart calls to each of us, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”  (Matt. 11:28)

In our world more than 360,000 Masses are offered every twenty-four hours, or four elevations of the Eucharist each second.  When He said I will be with you always - He wasn't kidding.  Praise Be Jesus!
