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.

I'm Busy Jesus - Not Now!

 Jesus - Not Now!

Oh Jesus I just don’t have time to believe You today because I’m too busy with work, with family and pickleball; Jesus I do Love You and I hope I will get around to showing that Love tomorrow but right now I’m in a hurry; I know Jesus that I am supposed to believe that You are present in the Eucharist, it’s not that I don’t, it’s that I’m not able to give it the thought it needs to improve our relationship but I will try harder next week.  How does Jesus reply to that?

Maybe He doesn’t … 

Maybe He knows it’s not the right time to try to give you an answer because you’re not receptive?  Maybe He simply, as the saying goes, gives you more rope.  Regardless of how much rope you have God knows you are holding onto the other end.  As long as you don’t let go He knows your mind and heart can be changed.  Through His Love and by His Grace that change will work from the inside-out, and you will feel His presence.  You can start moving in that direction by simply stopping by the Adoration Chapel and ask Him for His help.

The Transforming Power of God

 Let God Transform You This Lent!

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 is 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.
