 Action Required

God is with us in many different ways but none more intimate than experiencing Him face-to-face in adoration.  Spending time with Jesus in His sacrament of Love will fill your heart with abiding joy and bless your days, your job, your families, your life with His protection and grace.  Each hour given to Our Lord bears fruit a hundredfold in this life and in the next.

St. Augustine is quoted as saying “He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.”  In other words - nothing happens until YOU do something.

     Don’t wait.  This is YOUR TIME to step up and PRAY.

Join your many fellow parishioners who have stepped up by spending an hour every week in the Adoration Chapel ‘doing something’.  Commit to an hour each week and let God know you are seriously in-love with Him.

There are many opportunities available to get involved by putting your name on an Adoration hour and letting God know He can count on you.

Want To Be More Like Chirst?

 Be More Like Christ

Deepen your personal relationship with Jesus by spending time with Him in Eucharistic Adoration and become more like Him, just as old friends or a long-married couple grow more and more similar.  Chapel time helps us become more aware of the obstacles of sin in our life that stand between us and Our Lord.  We develop a stronger desire to make habits of virtue and self-sacrifice in imitation of Him.

If you are not a regular Adorer, maybe now is the time to bring your Jesus relationship to a new level?  Jesus invites you to join Him in the chapel just one hour a week.

Adoration allows God to increase His gifts of humility and patience in us.

The true value of persistent prayer is not that God will hear us, but that we will hear Him and be moved to change because 

        ‘we want to’.

Priceless - Don't Miss Out

 A Priceless Gift

“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)

Know that an hour with God in the chapel is a ‘gift’ directly from his heart to each one of us personally.  It’s not enough that he offers … you have to accept it.

Angelic Prayer Partners

Did you know that Jesus brings with Him an entire flight of angels to keep you company every time you visit the Adoration Chapel?  This 'flight' fills the chapel from wall to wall - ceiling to floor. 

These angels become our prayer partners; so when you are in the chapel you never pray alone.  Next time you visit know that an angel will move over to make room.  Be sure to thank the angel.

Feast - Our Lady Of The Rosary

 

O u r   L a d y  O f   T h e   R o s a r y

On October 7, we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.  Known for several centuries by the alternate title of “Our Lady of Victory”.  The feast day takes place in honor of a 16th century naval victory which secured Europe against Turkish invasion.  Pope St Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was invoked on the day of the battle through a campaign to pray the Rosary throughout Europe.

The power of the Rosary and the courage of the Catholic navies obtained a historic triumph over the Turks, and saved Christiandom from the advancing Turkish power.

Today, we desperately need Our Lady’s intervention through the Holy Rosary to turn back the moral, spiritual and physical treat we face as a nation.

Our Lady will overcome all these threats if we turn to Her in confident prayer and courageous action, just like She saved Christiandom in 1571.  Join the legions of fellow Christians who pray the Rosary daily.  

 

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".

Stronger Interior Life

 

Let Communion Nourish Your Interior Life

We all know that to successfully grow flowers, the essential thing is to keep them fresh by watering the roots.  If the root dries, the plant will die.  Fertility depends on moisture.  The sun by itself does not make flowers bloom; its heat alone would make them wither, but it makes moisture fertile, active.  Therefore, to cultivate the flower of sanctity in our soul, we have to keep the roots fresh and moist, which means simply that we have to live the interior life.  Nature gives dew and rain to the earth.  The grace of God is the dew of the soul; given in abundance, it is a shower that floods it and makes it fruitful.
