As Beloved Children Of God We Are Free

 A Beloved Child … You!

“When we adore the Lord Jesus present in the Eucharist, we receive a new outlook on our lives as well: I am not the things I possess or the successes I can achieve.  The value of my life does not depend on how much I can show off nor does it diminish when I encounter failures and setbacks.  I am a beloved child, each of us is a beloved child.  I am blessed by God.  He wants to clothe me with beauty and free me from all slavery.

“Let us remember this: whoever worships God does not become a slave to anyone.  They are free.  Let us rediscover the prayer of adoration, a prayer that is frequently forgotten.  Adoration … frees us and restores us to our dignity as
                                 children, not slaves.”
                                        Pope Francis - from a Sept 2022 homily

If You Give Him A Chance - He Will Come

 Give God A Chance

There was a recent article in Our Sunday Visitor Magazine written by Father John LoCoco in which he reminds us that if we are feeling ‘nothing’ when we pray, maybe it’s time we shift our perspective.  Many of us feel when we pray we are going to God, and often that feels like our own initiative, our own plan, and then when things do not go ‘our way’ we become discouraged.  When we do this we are putting prayer into the category of a transaction: If I say these prayers or sit quietly long enough, God will do something, anything.  But by changing our perspective from me going to God, to God coming to me, we open a new way to view our prayer life that will be both more productive and more satisfying.

Spend time in the Adoration Chapel sitting quietly in his presence knowing he will come - this is a form of prayer.  All you have to do is give him a chance.

God Is Calling - Don't Hide

Are You Trying To Hide From God Like Adam?

“They then heard the Lord God walking in the garden toward evening.  The man and his wife hid themselves from the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.  But the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where were you?”.  He answered, “I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.”  (Genesis 3:8-10)

  Like Adam, God is calling you.  If you’re too busy to hear His call, or maybe you think you simply don’t have time, it’s time to reevaluate your relationship with Him.  He waits for all of us in the Adoration Chapel, and He wants to help.  You won’t always have the opportunity … that’s life; so do it now.

Committed Adoration Hours are available in the Adoration Chapel

You Can Become More Like Jesus

More Like Jesus

“Our lives change when our habits change.  Adopting the habit of Eucharistic Adoration will change every aspect of your life.  We tend to emulate the people we spend time with.  By spending time in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, we become more like Him.”
   (Matthew Kelly - 33 Days To Eucharistic Glory)
