Be Set Free From Evil

Be Set Free

“Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator.  It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us (Ps 95:1-6) and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil.  Adoration is homage of the spirit to the “King of Glory” (Ps 24:9-10), respectful silence in the presence of the “ever greater” God.  Adoration of the trice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.”

   (Catechism of the Catholic Church - no. 2628)

Join the Eucharistic Revival by spending time in the Real Presence of our God.

Jesus Patiently Waits

“Jesus awaits you in the Eucharist.  Come into the silence and let him change your life.”   (Matthew Kelly)

“Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to heaven.  There are others: innocence, but that is for little children; penance, but we are afraid of it; generous endurance of trials of life, but when they come we weep and ask to be delivered.  The surest, easiest, shortest way is the Eucharist.”  (St Pius X)

Stop by the chapel and feel His presence.

Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi

The feast of Corpus Christi was established in the year 1264 by Pope Urban IV.  Eucharistic Processions quickly became a part of that celebration and is a way for our parishes to publicly proclaim our belief in Jesus’ True Presence in the Eucharist.

A Eucharistic Procession is an extension of the worship of Jesus Christ, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. The supreme act of adoration and the source and summit of the Christian life is the celebration of the Mass, and that celebration is prolonged and intensified through Eucharistic worship outside of the Mass. In Eucharistic Processions, the missionary aspect of the Eucharist is emphasized as we go forth into the world. Not only gazing upon our Eucharistic Lord, but walking with him, we experience what the disciples did 2000 years ago as they walked with Jesus, proclaiming the Good News to the world.

If you have the opportunity to participate in a Eucharistic Procession on Corpus Christi please do so as affirmation of your belief in the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist.

 Faith Grows .. And We Never Have Enough

Jesus tells us in "In Sinu Jesus" 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 that he offers to us if we seek his Eucharistic friendship - and this is the experience 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 each week before his Eucharistic Face.  Many people think ‘Adoration’ has to be an hour - not so.  God is happy with 5 minutes if that is all you have.  And if you would spend just 5 minutes a week for a few weeks, you will notice a change of heart.  You can’t ‘out give’ God; so if you give only 5 minutes a week, He might just return Eternity to you.

Mary Calls Us To Action

 How Do You Reply To Mary’s Request?

“On May 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three young shephard children at Fatima, Portugal.  It would be the first of her six visits to that area.  These apparitions were preceded by visits in 1916 from the Angel of Peace, who prepared the children for the Blessed Mother’s visits and instructions.  The message of Fatima calls us to turn away from sin, pray the Rosary daily for peace in the world, and offer penance for sinners.”  (30 Marian Apparitions p.42)

This message is as appropriate today as it was in 1917.  Are you doing all you can to fulfill Mary’s request?  If not, there is no better time to start than now.
