Adoration Is An Extension Of Celebration

Adoration Is An Extension Of Celebration

In the Eucharist, the Son of God comes to meet us and desires to become one with us.  Eucharistic Adoration is simply the natural consequence of the Eucharistic celebration, which is itself the Church’s supreme act of adoration.  Receiving the Eucharist means adoring him whom we receive.  Only in this way do we become one with him, and are given, as it were, a foretaste of the beauty of the heavenly liturgy.  The act of Adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself.  Indeed, “only in adoration can a profound and genuine reception mature.  And it is precisely this personal encounter with the Lord that then strengthens the social mission contained in the Eucharist, which seeks to break down not only the walls that separate the Lord and ourselves, but also and especially the walls that separate us from one another.” (address to the Roman Curia, 12/22/05)

Lent is an invitation to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus
because it’s a time when we can truly grow by leaps and bounds in our faith.
