Chapel of the Holy Eucharist

 Chapel of the Holy Eucharist

Stop looking at our Church from the outside, and start looking at it from the inside getting an entirely new perspective.  We are taught that when we die and arrive in heaven we will get a new body; but the soul we die with is ours forever.  While we are part of the ‘Church Militant’ we have the ability with God’s help to strengthen and shape our soul so that when it gets to heaven it is able to take full advantage of the gifts God has waiting for us.

Visit the Adoration Chapel today, asking God for His help to ready your soul for those gifts.  We can’t imagine how happy we make God when we ask Him for His help.

Adoration In His Presence

Chapel of the Holy Eucharist

“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)

If you want to spend more time with God something has to change.  Start small.  Spend just 15-minutes a day consciously having God on your mind and praying for a change of heart.  He hears you, and is moved to action if only you give him a chance.  15-minutes a day is only 1% of the daily time He gives you.

Add Spice To Your Relationship With God

 Spiritually Lazy

“Most Western people are just spiritually lazy.  And when we are lazy, we stay on the path we are already on, even if it is going nowhere.  It is the spiritual equivalent of the second law of thermodynamics: everything winds down unless some outside force winds it back up.”  Scott Peck quoted in Falling Upward by R. Rohr  p.xix

If you find your spirituality in need of a jump start why not make a commitment to spend time in the Real Presence of our Lord during Eucharistic Adoration.  Time in the chapel could be the ‘outside force’ needed to jump start your Spiritual Journey.

Spend A Little Time In His Presence And Reap The Benefits

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?

Give God A Chance Of Transforming You

Let God Transform You!

Why would God go to such an extent to rescue us that He sacrifices His own Son?  Because not only is God loving, but He himself in the definition of Love (John 3:16, 1 John 4:8)

We have to recognize that His love is not motivated by what He sees in us, but by what is inside of Him.  God delights in transforming us by His grace and rescuing us by His love.  But in order to do that He needs our full cooperation.  We have to be receptive to His Love.  He never forces Himself on us, but will work marvelous deeds if we but open our heart to Him.

It all begins with TRUST, and a good place to start is weekly Adoration.

                               We become what we worship.  Choose wisely.

The Eucharist Holds Many Gifts

Christ’s Presence In The Eucharist

Saint Pope John II in his encyclical letter, Ecclesia de Eucharist, draws our attention to the fact that, “In the Eucharist we have Jesus, we have his redemptive sacrifice, we have his resurrection, we have the gift of the Holy Spirit, we have adoration, obedience and love of the Father.” All of this Jesus gives us if we only meet him in the Adoration Chapel, and sit quietly in his Presence surrendering to his action within our heart and soul.

Sacred Heart of Jesus / Immaculate Heart of Mary

Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (6/12) / Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (6/13)

Sacred Heart of Jesus

When we contemplate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, our hearts change.  We want to have his heart.  We want to be changed.  We want to love with his heart.  It’s something real.  Something we can’t teach so much as show.  The most effective preacher radiates love from his heart.  And we then better understand our thirst for him and even more remarkably, his thirst for us.  Devotion to the heart of Jesus is especially directed to the "divine heart" as overflowing with love for humanity.

Immaculate Heart of Mary

Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary refers to the view of the interior life of Mary, her joys and sorrows, her virtues and hidden perfections, and above all, her virginal love for God, her maternal love for her son Jesus Christ, and her motherly and compassionate love for all mankind.  In the devotion to Mary, however, the attraction is the love of her heart for Jesus and for God.

Happy the soul which maintains a loving devotion to both.

New Life Can Be Your's

Jesus Offers You New Life

“The Holy Trinity dwells in our hearts to be loved and adored by grace.  Grace is a participation in the life of the Trinity that flows through the Cross of Christ into the depths of our being.  Producing all kinds of beautiful thoughts and desires, this new life allows God to give Himself to us so that we can enjoy His presence more and more.  A holy thought that moves us to love makes our mind like Christ, and the stirring of holy affections that move us to love and devotion renders our heart like the Holy Spirit.”  (Fire From Above - Dr Anthony Lilles)

No relationship can survive without quality time together.  Find a convenient hour during your week and improve your relationship with God by spending time with him in Adoration.  If you improve your relationship with the Holy Spirit you’ll improve your relationship with the Trinity.  Wow, that’s a force multiplier you can’t deny.

Increase Your Eucharistic Friendship

Faith Grows .. And We Never Have Enough

Jesus tells us in “In Sinu Jesu” that faith in the mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist grows in proportion to the time one gives him in adoration. Its not enough that we go to Holy Mass often if we do not approach him and remain with him in the sacrament of his love. Nothing can replace the intimate experience that He offers to us if we seek his Eucharistic friendship - and this is the experience he offers to us if we seek his Eucharistic Face and offer a sacrifice of our time to his Eucharistic Heart.

Begin to grow your faith in the mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist by finding a church that has Eucharistic Adoration and begin spending some time in His Real Presence.  

Does Your Prayer Life Need Improvement?

 Lest You Forget

“In every age the followers of Jesus come to Him and ask, 'Lord, teach us to pray.’”

What we ask for, we receive.  Jesus gives us the profound gift of prayer.  We knock and the door is opened to us, and we are able to enter into the presence of the living God.  We seek and we find the face of the Father, Who gives us our name and calls us to friendship.

Prayer is the promise and a privilege that Jesus makes possible for the Children of God.  Through Him we can dare to call God ‘Our Father’ and speak with Him in loving dialogue.”

(Most Reverend Jose H. Gomez  Archbishop of Los Angeles  Apr 2016)

Let Him know how much you appreciate what He has done for you by stopping by the Adoration Chapel and telling Him face to face.

Get Closer

 A Way To Become Holier

Every day is a chance.  Every hour an opportunity.  Every moment a precious gift.  Don’t waste your chance, opportunity or precious gift.  Spend them in the presence of God. That’s easier than you think because God is always with you; the problem is you’re not always with Him.  Say this short prayer at the beginning of every day and after a few days your awareness of his presence within will increase to the point you will have a desire to spend face time in His Real Presence.

“Dear Lord, I need your help today to be aware that you are always with me.  Thank you.”

Read The Post - Discover The Secret

What’s The Secret?

According to St John Paul II, “Christ’s resurrection is the strength, the secret of Christianity.  It is not a question of mythology or of mere symbolism, but of a concrete event.  It is confirmed by sure and convincing proofs.  The acceptance of this truth, although the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s grace, rests at the same time on a solid historical base.”

By trading some of your couch time for chapel time you enhance that positive internal change brought about by the Indwelling Trinity.  There is no ‘down side’ - you have EVERYTHING to gain.  Why not start today?

Show Jesus Your Appriciation

No Greater Love …

Jesus loves us beyond measure.  One way He asks us to return love and appreciation of all He does for us is to spend one quiet hour with Him each week in Eucharistic Adoration.  “Where your treasure is, there is your heart …”, “Could you not watch one hour with Me?” (Mt 6:21; 26:40)

Express your love by committing to an hour of adoration by visiting                                    your closest Adoration Chapel. The rewards are heavenly.

Eucharistic Adoration Is The Need Of Our Time

Our World Desperately Needs Eucharistic Adoration

St Peter Julian Eymard underlined the urgency of Eucharistic Adoration for the renewal of our parishes and of the world:

"Today solemn exposition of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the grace and the need of our time.  It is the sovereign grace.  Exposition is the powerful weapon at the disposal of the Church and of the faithful ... We are not afraid to say: the Worship and the Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament is the need of our time ... This worship is necessary to save society.  Society is dying because it has no center of truth and charity, but it will be reborn in full force when all its members gather around the life of Jesus in the Eucharist.  Go back to the source, to Jesus - especially to Jesus in the Eucharist ... It is well known: a civilization grows or decreases according to its worship of the Blessed Eucharist.  This is its life and the measure of its faith, its love, its virtue.  What the reign of the Eucharist will bring to pass!  Impiety and ingratitude have reigned on earth for long enough.  Thy kingdom come!"

Experience a life closer to Our Lord simply by spending one hour a week in Eucharistic Adoration.  Become a Committed Adorer now by clicking on the URL below and adding your name on any of the 90 hours.

Divine Source Of Peace

 True Source of Peace

The message of Divine Mercy, relayed through St. Faustina, is that God is merciful.  He is love itself poured out for us, and He wants no one to escape that merciful love.

God wants us to turn to Him with trust and repentance while it is still time of mercy, before He comes as the just judge.  This turning is the only source of peace for mankind.  Turning to and imploring God’s mercy is the answer to the troubled world, and is the answer to any troubled things affecting your life.  There is no escaping that answer.

Why not join the many who have found peace by becoming a regular Eucharistic Adorer.  Do it now … don’t wait because you don’t know if you have tomorrow.

I Thirst For You … You must never doubt my mercy, my acceptance of you, my desire to forgive, my longing to bless you and live my life in you.

Support On Our Spiritual Journey

Help Through Our Spiritual Journey

Last Thursday our Lord Jesus Christ gave to us the greatest gift He possibly could have while  on earth, Himself.  This gift is meant to carry us through our spiritual journey on earth, and prepare us for meeting Him in His heavenly home.

To take full advantage of this gift we must embrace it and use it to experience “the greatest peace, calm and joy that comes from being in the presence of the Bridegroom of our souls.”  No one, certainly nothing else on this earth, will ultimately satisfy our deepest longings.  In all creation, in all the beautiful things and people He has made, we see something of Him.

In the Eucharist, we see Him.  Not as we shall see Him when we leave this world, not as He wants to be known by us in eternity, but in the form in which He has chosen to come to us on our earthly journey.  Someday, when this present darkness ends and God is “all in all,” we shall see His beloved face, and we shall be embraced by and love the One Who made us out of love, redeemed us, gave Himself to darkest death for us.

For now, we gaze up at Him as our food encircled by light.  The Eucharist we adore is the window to heaven, the true Body of Our Lord truly present.  “Oh come let us adore Him.”

    (Father Raymond T. Gawronski, S.J.)

The Man On The Middle Cross Is There For Your Salvation

Cost of Salvation

The man on the middle cross loves you so much he agreed to die for your salvation.

This is Holy Week and we should note that the profound silence of Holy Saturday is not a day of sadness but a moment of our being placed into the tomb with Christ and of contemplating the mystery that reason cannot fathom without the help of him who reads the secrets of hearts and knows what is the desire of the Spirit.  Ask the Holy Spirit this week to silently move your heart to greater understanding of the mysteries of the death and resurrection of Our Lord.

Also ask the Holy Spirit to increase your fervor for the personal blessings available to you through Eucharistic Adoration.  If not a ‘committed’ adorer, it may be time to become one.

Spend Time In His Real Presence

The Advantages Of Being In His Real Presence

Cultivating a Eucharistic life of Adoration bears tremendous fruit in our own hearts and lives.  We cannot spend time in the rays of His Eucharistic Presence without receiving His grace, His love, His mercy, His peace.  As we gaze upon Him face to face, we are transformed little by little into a closer reflection of His divine image.  When we deepen our personal relationship with Jesus by spending time with Him in this way, we will become more like Him, just as old friends or a long-married couple grow more and more similiar.  We become more aware of the obstacles of sin in our life that stand between us and Our Lord.  We develop a stronger desire to make habits of virtue and self-sacrifice in imitation of Him.

Spending time with Jesus in His Sacrament of love will also fill our hearts with abiding joy and bless our days, our jobs, our families, our lives with His protection and grace.  Each hour that we give to Our Lord bears fruit a hundredfold in this life and in the next.

Innumerable Treasures Can Be Your's

Take Jesus’ Words To Heart

“There is nothing that I will not do for those who approach Me in the Sacrament of My Love.  Look at Me!  Here I am vulnerable, exposed, hidden, and yet entirely delivered over to you.  The Eucharist is the invention of My love, and nothing surpasses it in all My works.  The Eucharist is more than creating itself; it is the crown of My work of redemption in this world, and the foretaste of the glory that I have prepared for those who love Me in the next.  If souls understood what treasures of love are freely given to those who approach Me in the Sacrament of My love, My churches would be filled day and night, and unable to contain the multitudes drawn to them.”   (In Sinu Jesu  p226)

Become a ‘committed’ adoration adorer and finish Lent strong.

“Heart of Jesus, generous to all who turn to you ~ Have Mercy On Us”
