Your Spiritual Journey Should Lead To Spiritual Growth

Spiritual Growth

In order to increase our understanding of God’s great mysteries we have to be able to leave the place we are at on our Spiritual Journey and enter into a new phase of understanding.  This leaving is the first step of spiritual growth allowing us to open ourselves to the deeper mystery of the Real Presence.  This openning gives us the opportunity to increase our hope, compassion and mercy.  It is the promise delivered and the potential realized of unity between Creator, created and creation.  It is Love!  And it is given to us freely asking only that we open oursevles to it.

Stop by the Adoration Chapel often to ask God for his help to increase your understanding and growth in knowledge of the Real Presence.  Remember Jesus said “seek and you will find”.

Find A Way To Calm Your Heart and Discover Peace Of Mind

How To Find A Calm Heart And Peace Of Mind

Whenever Jesus wanted to recenter and reconnect with God, he went to the wilderness - to the mountains, to the desert, to the sea, to the garden.  What did he find there? …  God’s creation has a patient way of silently receiving our thoughts, ponderings, complaints, objections, hopes, dreams, all of everything stirring around our heads … Bringing calm to our hearts and peace to our minds … find your wilderness, mountains, desert, sea or garden in our Adoration Chapel, simply by sitting silently in his presence and learning.

Once we open ourselves to the deeper mystery of real presence, we are able to glimpse the magnificence of the gift.  The Body and Blood of Christ is so much more than a physical specimen.  It is the soothing balm, a healing salve.  It is hope, compassion, and mercy.  It is the promise delivered and the potential realized of unity between Creator, creating, and creation.  It is love.  And it is given to us freely, asking only that we open ourselves to it.  So don’t remain ‘closed’ but ‘open’ yourself to finding a calm heart and peace of mind.  Start by spending time in the Adoration Chapel on a regular basis.

God Will Help You Change

Looking To Change?

“God provides for our transformation and growth; you give over your sufferings to the embrace of God and you will be given peace; you hand over your feelings of anguish and despair and you will find hope rising in your heart.”  Saint Pio of Pietrelcina

God is with us in many different ways but none more intimate than experiencing him face-to-face in adoration.  He is always ready to help; all we have to do is to ‘ask’.  So if you are ready to make a change in your life go ahead and ask the Lord to help, then visit him in the chapel and go ahead lean on him.

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!

By Faith Be In His Presence

The Magic of Faith

Faith is one of the great gifts God has given us.  We can visit the Adoration Chapel and through Faith know we are truly in His Presence and because Jesus is not limited by space and time; sit at the table during the Last Supper, or kneel at the manger along with the Wise Men, or stand next to the weeping Blessed Mother on Calvary.  How is this possible?  Because God has no limits, and for God everything is present.  Believe in his presence and contemplate being with him at any event during his human life.

The World Is Not Enough

When God held you in the palm of his hand and breathed life into you before your birth, he had a plan uniquely designed for you.  He knew because He made you in His image and likeness that the world would not be enough.  So His plan included the return of your soul to his heavenly presence.  How are you doing executing your plan?  For a reality check stop by the Adoration Chapel and ask him.

Breathing Can Be Prayer

Just Breath

Visit the Adoration Chapel this week and simply spend time enjoying the silence and be aware of your breathing before our Lord Jesus Christ.  St. John of the Cross points out to us, with the right intention “Breathing is praying.”   Doesn’t get any easier.
