Adoration In His Presence

Chapel of the Holy Eucharist

“The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life’” (CCC 1324)  Our worship of our Eucharistic Lord, Jesus - fully and completely present under the consecrated species of bread and wine - continues outside of the celebration of the Mass when the sacred Host is exposed for veneration in our chapel.  “This exposition gives us the opportunity for a deep personal encounter with Christ.  The holy and glorious God is constantly inviting us to come to him, to hold converse with him, to ask for such things as we need and to experience what a blessing there is in fellowship with him.”  (Archbishop Fulton Sheen)

Your Friend Jesus

“… but I have called you friends” (John 15:15)        

- Do you desire a friend who is always delighted to see you?
- Do you desire a friend who takes a keen interest in all that is going on in your life, no matter
     how seemingly insignificant?
- Do you desire a friend who loves to rejoice with you in your joys and triumphs, but with whom
     you also feel comfortable sharing your disappointments; even your most shameful 
     experiences?
- Do you desire a friend who knows when all you need is someone to listen, but who also 
    seems to know just when to respond, and just what you need to hear?
- Do you desire a friend in whose presence you feel a deep and abiding sense of peace?
   (Pamphlet #4030 Faith Guild series)

Jesus, truly present in the Sacred Host found in the Monstrance in our Eucharistic Chapel, is just such a friend.  If you want to enhance your friendship with Jesus; just like with anyone, you have to spend time in his presence.  He is waiting for you; because he wants to show you what a good friend he will be.  Sign up for a committed hour of Eucharist Adoration and begin travel on your road to a better friendship with Jesus.  Don’t wait … begin now!

Happy Birthday Jesus

 Happy Birthday Jesus! 

When you look upon the Sacred Host after the consecration at Mass, or you kneel in front of the Sacred Host displayed in the Monstrance in the chapel, you look upon Jesus Himself, the Son of God.  We believe the bread and wine have ceased to exist after the Consecration, so that it is the adorable body and blood of the Lord Jesus that from then on are really before us under the sacramental species of bread and wine, as the Lord willed it, in order to give Himself to us as food and to associate us with the unity of His Mystical Body.

During this season of gift giving please take a few minutes to find a quiet place to sit and free your mind of all the clutter of secular Christmas; sincerely thank Our God for the priceless gift of His Divine Son.  It’s a gift the true value of which cannot be fully appreciated this side of Heaven.

So if you’re asked ‘What did you get for Christmas?’; I hope you would respond ‘I received the gift of greatest value anyone on earth could hope for!’  (originally published Dec 25, 2022)

Take Advantage While You Can

“Look and see …”

When you look upon the Sacred Host, YOU LOOK UPON JESUS, the Son of God.  “Indeed, this is the will of My Father, that everyone who looks upon the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life.  Him I will raise up on the last day.”  (Jn 6:40)

Imagine how the souls in purgatory envy us the ability to sit in the presence of the True God.  Don’t waste an opportunity to spend time in this special way in His presence.  There are only so many opportunities afforded to each of us.  Join the ever growing number of parishioners who are praying regularly in the chapel.

Current Adoration Needs:

Open Hour:  Monday 4-5pm / Tuesday 8-9am

Partner Needed:  Thursday 12-1pm / Thursday 2-3pm / Friday 3-4pm

** May 31 - Memorial Day Holiday - Chapel will be closed - resume Tue June 01 at 6AM **

Adoration softens the Human Condition and helps us grow spiritually.

As you spend more time in Adoration God begins to communicate with you on a more profound level than that of the five senses.  God’s word moves from you ‘head’ to your ‘heart’.
