Jesus Want's Your Whole Life

He Wants Your Whole Life - Including Your Baggage

“When we come to Mass, we should bring everything with us.  

Bring your anxieties and your hardships, your doubts and your fears, your conflicts and your failures. Bring your triumphs and your boasts, your dreams and your aspirations, your plans and your projects. ing your triumphs and your boasts, your dreams and your aspirations, your plans and your projects.  Offer it all to God; let it be lifted up in the prayers and gestures of the Mass.  Make a sacrifice of your real life, your whole life.  At the Offertory, place it all on the paten, put it all in the chalice.  Unite your offering with that of the priest, with that of Christ Himself.  The Lord is not interested in a more put together version of you.  He is not interested in an already-saved you.  He is interested in you.  He wants you to entrust Him with your real life, your whole life.  He wants you to make a holocaust offering of your real life, your whole life."(Your Eucharistic Identity Fr Gregory Pine, O.P.)

What better time to do this than during Lent.  Every time you come to Mass make it a habit to offer your entire self to God, and in this way you make big strides to happiness and a future life with God for eternity.

But Who Do You Say That I Am?

 “But Who do You Say that I Am?”

     “Lord, why do you ask the same question?  And, why do you ask precisely those who should know the answer best?  Do not men respond to you, calling you “Father”, “Christ”, “Son of the Living God”, “Savior of the world”, “Master of all truth”, “Sacred Heart”, “God with us”, “Blessed Sacrament”, “the Eucharist”?  Don’t the choirs of cathedrals and monasteries, as well as the mouths of your priests and virgins, respond to you with praises and confessions in their Masses and Offices?

     Why, in spite of those responses do you continue asking?

     All right, don’t tell me, my heart has already guessed and feels it.  It is our behavior towards you that is the cause of your insistence.  It is the monumental discrepancy, I would say, between the responses of our lips and of our actions.  Shame on us, for you cannot believe or trust in our word.  If we call you “Father”, why don’t we love you as your children?  If we say “Son of the living God”, why don’t we adore you above all things, and why do we treat you as if you were dead?  If we proclaim you as “Savior” and “Master of the world”, why do we look for our wellbeing and truth in other ways aside from you?  If you are the “Sacred Heart”, why don’t we render our sinful hearts to you?  If you are “God with us” and the “Eucharist”, why do we abandon the tabernacle and leave God with cobwebs and mice?”  (unknown)

Working to improve our relationship with God is a life long effort.  A good place to extend that effort is in our Adoration Chapel.  Actually you don’t have to do anything … just show up … spend some time in His Real Presence and God will do the work.

Want To Be More Like Chirst?

 Be More Like Christ

Deepen your personal relationship with Jesus by spending time with Him in Eucharistic Adoration and become more like Him, just as old friends or a long-married couple grow more and more similar.  Chapel time helps us 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.

If you are not a regular Adorer, maybe now is the time to bring your Jesus relationship to a new level?  Jesus invites you to join Him in the chapel just one hour a week.

Adoration allows God to increase His gifts of humility and patience in us.

The true value of persistent prayer is not that God will hear us, but that we will hear Him and be moved to change because 

        ‘we want to’.

Priceless - Don't Miss Out

 A Priceless Gift

“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)

Know that an hour with God in the chapel is a ‘gift’ directly from his heart to each one of us personally.  It’s not enough that he offers … you have to accept it.
