The Reality Of The Cross, The Host, And The Virgin

“There is nothing littler, meeker, or more silent than Christ present in the Host.  This little piece of bread embodies the humility and perfect silence of God, his tenderness and his love for us.  If we want to grow and to be filled with the love of God, it is necessary to plant our life firmly on three great realities:  the Cross, the Host, and the Virgin.  These are three mysteries that God gave to the world in order to structure, fructify, and sanctify our interior life and to lead us to Jesus.  These three mysteries are to be contemplated in silence.”
 (The Power of Silence (57) - Robert Cardinal Sarah)

A good place to contemplate in silence is in the Adoration Chapel.  If you haven’t tried it stop denying yourself this great gift from God of peace and the feeling of being loved by our creator.

I Thirst For You … Come to me, and I will fill your heart and heal your wounds.  I will make you a new creation, and give you peace in all your trials.

Spiritual 'Big Bang'

In the silence of Eucharistic Adoration there is a power greater than a thousand nuclear bombs, greater than the sun, greater than the Big Bang.  It is the power of God, released when the atom of the Trinity was split on the Cross and the explosion of redeeming blood came out.  In Eucharistic Adoration we touch this power, which is the root of everything, for it is Christ the Pantocrator.  We touch the candle of our souls to the fire of His passion, His passion for souls, and we catch that flame.  (Jesus-Shock p155-156)

If you don’t have that ‘flame’ burning in your soul maybe its time you got off the couch and on your knees in the Adoration Chapel.  We all can find more time to pray … if we WANT TO.  Give it a try … you have nothing to loose, and eternity to gain.  You don’t have to commit to an hour (although Jesus likes it when you do), just stop by and pray awhile.  

Jesus may not have needed my hour of Adoration, but I sure needed the consolation and instruction inherent in His presence.  See you in the chapel.
