Eucharistic Adoration

Eucharistic Adoration will be offered once a week on Wednesday from 1:00-4:00pm. The best time you spend on earth is with Jesus, your Best Friend, in the Blessed Sacrament! “How great is the value of conversation with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, for there is nothing more consoling on earth, nothing more efficacious for advancing along the road of holiness!” -Pope Paul VI 

Spiritual Adoration

What if you can’t make it to a church or chapel for Adoration? 

St. Faustina would recommend “spiritual Adoration.” Her times of Adoration were both in the convent chapel and in private in her room and even on her sickbed. God knows we can have very good reasons for not visiting him in a church or chapel — family responsibilities, job, health, distance from a church, and so on. But we can do “spiritual Adoration” anywhere, anytime, including setting up our own Adoration chapel with a designated corner or chair at home!

Spending time in Adoration draws us into intimacy with Jesus. And as we get closer to him, he gives us the wisdom and strength to serve his Church and the people he has placed in our lives. Take a good look at your routine and find a way to include Adoration in your life. You will truly become the one you befriend.

Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

Lectio: Eucharist

Discovering the Mass in the Old and the New Testament.
Through the Augustine Institute on FORMED

“Lamb of God”, “The Bread of Life,” “The Body and the Blood of Christ” . . . . these are phrases we know from the Mass. But do we understand what they mean in the greater and deeper context of Scripture and Church teaching? We will discover firsthand how Christ’s Body and Blood are integral and wondrous part of God’s plan for our salvation. Dr. Brant Pitre, acclaimed author and teacher digs down to biblical root of the Eucharist through its foreshadowing in the miraculous events of the Old Testament, the Gospels, and Apostolic teaching.
