If Your Heart Says 'Yes'; Your Feet Will Take You There!

 If You Really Want To … You Will Find A Way

Jesus, so longs for us to visit Him in Eucharistic Adoration that He suffered and died to give us the chance to spend eternity with Him.  What a small thing it is, in the realm of salvation, to stop by the chapel occasionally to say Thank You?  Oh! I know the argument - ‘Jesus is present everywhere - I can say Thank You anytime, anywhere.’  But in the chapel He is present in a very special way; a way you don’t find outside of Mass or Adoration.  He knows how important our time is to us.  When we give Him something as important as our ‘time’, He rewards us a hundred fold.  

“The best, the surest and the most effective way of establishing peace on the face of the earth is through the great power of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.”  St John Paul II

Infusion Of Grace

 Be Infused

When we participate in the practice of perpetual Adoration, we put ourselves in direct contact with the God of presence and mission.  Our action as adorers pales in the face of God’s action of infusing us with the spirit of the Divine Being.  We are changed dramatically just by being in this living presence and being open to the action of our gracious God.  We become instruments of God’s peace, mercy, joy, consolation, or courage.  The more we celebrate the small miracles of daily life, the more we realize the very personal action of God in our daily living.

God will bless your life, your work, and your family.  Praying in the Lord’s presence draws you closer to Christ, gives you strength to deal with the circumstances of daily life, and provides you with the opportunity to ask God to help

With Lent starting on Wednesday why not seriously consider signing up for a weekly hour of Adoration … could be the first step to improving your relationship with God.

Present Before The Lord

Present Before The Lord

In Exodus 17, when the Israelites fought against the Amalekites, Moses interceded before God by raising his hands to ask for the victory.  As his arms grew heavy, he enlisted the help of Aaron and Hur to hold his arms raised up to God.  And the Lord gave a complete victory to His people.  In the same way, through Perpetual Adoration, we are ever present before the Lord in an unbroken chain of prayer and intercession.  The heart of the parishioner is lifted up to God without cessation; and God gives victory to His people, His Church.  He sends His mercy, His peace and light that chase the darkness from our hearts and the world.

You can be part of this ever presence before Our Lord by becoming a regular Adorer.  We have many prime hours that need to be filled in order to reach our goal of Perpetual Adoration 24/5.  Find a convenient hour that fits your schedule by going to

Always Present ...

 Always Present Before The Lord

In Exodus 17, when the Israelites fought against the Amalekites, Moses interceded before God by raising his hands to ask for the victory.  As his arms grew heavy, he enlisted the help of Aaron and Hur to hold his arms raised up to God.  And the Lord gave a complete victory to His people.  In the same way, through Perpetual Adoration, an adorer is always present before the Lord in an unbroken chain of prayer and intercession.  The heart of the parishioner is lifted up to God without cessation; and God gives victory to His people, His Church.  He sends His mercy, His peace and His light to chase the darkness from our hearts and the world.

If not already a regular Adorer, say “Yes” to becoming an active member of the Adoration Ministry and spend an hour a week before the Most Holy Eucharist.  You fund your heavenly retirement account by doing so!

“ … Christ’s Eucharistic presence brings with it a particular grace making it easier to enter into prayer.”*  If you’re having trouble praying - visit the chapel.

Change Through The Living Presence

"When we participate in the practice of perpetual adoration, we put ourselves in direct contact with the God of presence and mission.  Our action as adorers pales in the face of God's action to infusing us with the spirit of the Divine Being.  We are changed dramatically just by being in this living presence and being open to the action of our gracious God.

We become instruments of God's peace, mercy, joy, consolation, or courage.  The more we celebrate the small miracles of daily life, the more we realize the very personal action of God in our daily living."
