Eucharistic
Adoration
“The church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic Adoration.” (Pope John Paul II Dominicae Cenae) Eucharistic Adoration is when the priest takes a consecrated host and places it in a monstrance. The monstrance is then placed in front of the tabernacle or on the altar of the church or chapel for adoration. We here at SJN have been blessed since November 1991 when Eucharistic Adoration was first started in our parish. There is no better way to give witness to our belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament than by attending a weekly hour of adoration in our chapel. The exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament is from 6 A.M. Monday until Midnight on Friday. What do you actually do during adoration? You may sign up to be an “adorer” which allows you to schedule yourself for one or more hours per week to pray before the very presence of Our Lord, exposed in the monstrance. It means that you can have some time alone with Jesus to recite your favorite prayers, read the Bible, contemplate acts of faith, hope, charity, thanksgiving, reparation, pray a rosary or do whatever type of prayerful devotion that suits you before Our Lord. You can just sit and say nothing simply keeping Him company, just as you would with a dear friend. Each hour you spend with Jesus will deepen His Divine Peace in your heart. “Come to Me all of you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you.” “Cast all of your anxieties upon the One who cares for you. My peace is My Gift to you.”(MT 11:28; 5:7; JN 14:17) |
