Need For Worship

A Great Need

“The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic worship.  Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love.  Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world.  May our adoration never cease.”  (St John Paul II)

“Attention is the most basic form of love.” - Simone Weil.  So why not stop by the chapel and give God a little attention?

No Better Time Than Now

Take Jesus’ Words To Heart

“There is nothing that I will not do for those who approach Me in the Sacrament of My Love.  Look at Me!  Here I am vulnerable, exposed, hidden, and yet entirely delivered over to you.  The Eucharist is the invention of My love, and nothing surpasses it in all My works.  The Eucharist is more than creating itself; it is the crown of My work of redemption in this world, and the foretaste of the glory that I have prepared for those who love Me in the next.  If souls understood what treasures of love are freely given to those who approach Me in the Sacrament of My love, My churches would be filled day and night, and unable to contain the multitudes drawn to them.”   (In Sinu Jesu  p226)

Become a ‘committed’ adoration adorer and improve your relationship with God.

“Heart of Jesus, generous to all who turn to you ~ Have Mercy On Us”

 

A Great Need ...

 A Great Need …

The Church has stressed that Christ is present to His people in many ways, but that none of these detract from the unique experience of the reception of Holy Communion and, in the aftermath of that reception, the adoration of the Real Presence.

In the words of Saint John Paul II: “The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship.  Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love.  Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world.  Let our adoration never cease.”

Lent starts next week.  Have you thought about what positive thing you could do this year.  Consider a weekly hour of Eucharistic Adoration.

Five Reasons Your Resolution For 2023 Should Include Adoration

Five Reasons Your Resolution Should Include Adoration

1. To spend time in Adoration is answering a personal invitation from Jesus to you!  Pope John Paul II in the Encyclical Letter ‘Redeemer of Man’ says “Jesus waits for us in this Sacrament of Love.” Knowing that, how could you keep Jesus waiting?
2. Jesus wants us to do more than go to Mass on Sunday!  Our communal worship at Mass must go together with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration in order that our love may be complete. (1)
3. In Adoration by way of transforming mercy, Jesus makes our heart one with His.  “Jesus teaches those who come to Him to be like Himself, gentle and humble of heart, and to seek not their own will, but the will of God.” (2)
4. Jesus is infinitely deserving of our unceasing thanksgiving and adoration for all He has done for our salvation.  “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor, glory and praise.” (Rev 5:12)  
5. The best time spent on earth is with your Best Friend, Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.  Pope Paul VI in his Apostolic Letter ‘Credo of the People of God’ says, “How great is the value of converse with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, for there in nothing more consoling on earth, nothing more efficacious for advancing along the road to holiness.”

Begin this year by resolving to take your relationship with Jesus to the next level.  You will find that an hour of weekly Adoration gets easier and more rewarding with each passing week.  Don’t under estimate the heavenly rewards, God’s gifts and graces are endless, and you begin to enjoy them simply by spending time in His Presence.
