The Presence of the Heavenly Court

Our Savior has brought Heaven to earth by giving us Himself in the Most Blessed Sacrament, for He is the same God who is in Heaven, surrounded by His angels; and in His presence in our chapel we can associate ourselves with all the heavenly court who form an invisible guard around Him.  You would deprive yourself of the sweetest joys of your life if you failed to come and pour out your love and petitions before His real presence.  He allows Himself to be the true refuge of our souls, where we can find comfort, guidance, strength, peace, sanctity, and happiness.  Even though the burdens of our lives seem almost unbearable at times, we all have a Friend who will never fail us - God in the Holy Eucharist.  His Sacred Heart calls to each of us, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”  (Matt. 11:28)

In our world more than 360,000 Masses are offered every twenty-four hours, or four elevations of the Eucharist each second.  Praise Be Jesus!

Feast of the Assumption 2026

Chapel of the Holy Eucharist - Feast of the Assumption Aug 15

Mary was assumed into heaven and at the throne of the Holy Trinity the three Divine Persons received and welcomed her in a mystical embrace of eternal love, after she had bowed before Them in deep humility and reverence.  She was attired in a marvelous sparkling robe that trailed behind her and scintillated with multicolored iridescence.

Then the Eternal Father announced to all the angels and saints:

"Our Daughter Mary has been chosen by Our Will from among all creatures as the first in Our favor, and she has never fallen from the position of a true Daughter.”  

The Incarnate Word declared:

"To My true and natural Mother belong all the creatures that I have created and redeemed.  And of all things over which I am King, she too shall be the rightful Queen."

And the Holy Ghost said:

"By the title of My only chosen Spouse, to which he has faithfully corresponded, the crown of Queen is also due to her for all eternity."

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.

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.

Join Your Suffering To The Blessed Mother's

 Join Your Suffering With That Of The Blessed Mother’s 

Eucharistic Adoration provides the opportunity to offer to our Lord all our sufferings and tribulations of the week for the reparation due all the sacrileges directed to the Holy Eucharist especially by the members of the Mystical Body so loved, so honored, and enriched with graces and gifts of the Lord.  We are able to join our reparation with that of the Blessed Mother’s at the foot of the cross for its full power and doing so we know the Lord shall accept it.

We also remember that our time with Jesus is a commemoration of His time of passion, death and resurrection that as it turned out is our redemption when we were bought and brought back from the clutches of Satan.  This time is truly a time of love that triumphs over darkness, and is the fulfillment of Jesus’ mission to love us to the end: “When Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father; having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end” (Jn 13:1)

Return Jesus’ love by participating in Eucharistic Adoration.  Jesus waits!

Eucharistic Adoration Results In Thanksgiving

The Greatest Thanks

By its very nature Eucharistic Adoration involves Thanksgiving to the Father, through the Son, for the Son, in the Holy Spirit.  By offering our thanksgiving of love from the very depths of our heart for the most divine gift of the Holy Eucharist we begin the process of offering thanksgiving that will not only never cease, but will even increase to its perfection in heaven.

During Eucharistic Adoration we should try to reflect on how God lowered Himself to become man, suffering the many indignities of His passion and death, surrendering Himself to both love and the hate of His creatures, as He continues to do today.

Eucharistic Adoration is a time to practice lifting up our thanksgiving to the altar and throne of the heavenly Jerusalem where our hearts, minds, souls and one day our body, shall be offering the greatest thanksgiving a creature can give their Creator:  The gift of their entire self.

Don’t wait - begin your practice today.  Become a ‘committed’ adorer.

Mary Is Our Model Of Faith And Our Perpetual Help

Mary Is Our Model Of Faith And Our Perpetual Help

The Blessed Virgin lived in such physical proximity and loving intimacy with her divine Son as no one ever has or can hope to experience.  She was with Him, near Him and close to Him physically and emotionally as only a loving mother can be close to the child whom she brought into the world. Mary was always thinking of Jesus.

She believed that this Infant, this Child, this young Man was no mere human being. She knew He was human, but she believed in His divinity because her mind penetrated beyond the veils of what her eyes and ears and hands could experience. Faith penetrates. Faith sees. Faith knows what the senses cannot perceive and even the human reason cannot comprehend. Mary saw. It cannot be too strongly emphasized or too often insisted that Mary had to live by faith. She saw only a helpless, speechless baby, yet she believed He was the almighty Word of God.

This is the first foundational lesson we learn from Mary in our veneration of the Holy Eucharist. Like her, we must come before the Blessed Sacrament with total undiluted faith. We believe that which the pagan, sophisticated, over-educated world tells us is a dream. When we come before the Blessed Sacrament, we need to break through the crust of what the senses perceive and what the mind rationally would tell us, believing more than we can see, believing more than we can touch, believing more than we can experience with our senses or even fathom with our minds. This is why we speak of Our Lady as the model of our faith. “Oh Mary, Virgin most faithful, pray for us that our faith may become more and more like yours.”

If you need to grow your faith visit the Adoration Chapel and ask Mary for her help.  As our heavenly Mother she is committed to help.  Our Adoration Chapel is available to everyone.

Most Powerful Source of Grace

 Most Powerful Source Of Grace

“We know adoration is due to God alone because He alone is worthy of veneration as the source and destiny of our being. We have also seen that since God became man in the Person of Jesus Christ, our adoration of Jesus is really the adoration of God in human form. Since Christ in the Blessed sacrament is here on earth in the fullness of His Divinity united with the humanity He received from Mary, we are to adore Him in the Holy Eucharist. This is the highest form of worship we can render to God and the most powerful source of grace we have on earth in our journey to a heavenly eternity. On all these counts, the Blessed
                   Virgin is our model of what our adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament should be.”  (Father John A Hardon, S.J.)

You Can Be An Instrument of Goodness

You Can Be An Instrument of Goodness

Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, is quoted as saying,“It is good to ‘waste time adoring’ Christ present in the Holy Eucharist”.  He urged all of us to devote ourselves to the prayer of adoration.  He added: It is good to adore in silence before the Most Blessed Sacrament, to be in the consoling presence of Jesus and there to draw the apostolic impetus to be instruments of goodness, tenderness and welcome in the community, the Church, and the world.

Chapel Changes

Chapel Changes

The question has been asked as to why we made the recent changes in the Chapel?  The number one reason was security of the Eucharist.  We have no idea how many people over the years have been given the combo to enter the Chapel.  Many times during a normal day a person in the Chapel finds themselves alone.  Once someone enters there’s no additional security for the Monstrance, the Tabernacle, or most important the Real Presence of Our Lord.  We had no way to verify that every time the Tabernacle was opened, the person doing that had authority; and it simply got to a point where we needed to manage risk better.

The acrylic case provides greater security while at the same time giving us the ability to expand Adoration because of the ease to Expose and Repose the Holy Eucharist by either opening or closing the curtain.  Our overall goal as a Parish is to Adore Our Lord 24/5 has not changed.  We hope to have someone praying in the Chapel every hour of every day Monday through Friday.  At this time we’re quite short of that goal in the six hours between midnight and 6AM as only 40% of those hours has someone praying.  Before Covid we were covering 24/5, and I’m sure we can get there again.

Jesus Waits!
What Will You Say to Him When You Finally See Him Face to Face?

We are all encouraged to pray before the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist as frequently as we can.  Not only for our temporal welfare, but also for the salvation of our soul.  Eucharistic Adoration “is one of the most practical things you can possibly do to improve your God relationship.  For there will come a day, sooner than you wish, when you will be alone with Him and unable to return to your friends or your family or your home or the pleasures of the world, ever again.  You will be alone with Christ at the border of eternity.  Why wait until that momentous moment to be alone with Him?”  Why not practice?  (Jesus-shock p147)
See you in the chapel.

 

Sacrifice of 'Time'

Jesus tell 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.  It's 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 of his Eucharistic friendship - and this is the experience that he offers to us if we seek his Eucharistic Face and offer a sacrifice of time to his Eucharistic Heart.

Won't you consider a sacrifice of time of an hour a week before his Eucharistic Face?  Several time slots are available for personal Adoration of Our Lord.  You can find those opportunities by going to our Adoration website and  clicking "Weekly Commitment".
