Eucharistic Adoration Thrives or Withers … Depending On Our Response
From the beginning of Church history, we can see that Eucharistic Adoration is a very important part of the Church’s life as a whole and also of one’s own spiritual life. The continual sacrifice of time to come before our Lord results in great holiness.
If our Popes and Saints have taught us anything by their tireless hours in adoration, it is their core belief in, and total dedication to, Jesus Christ our Eucharistic Lord. It is not because they were to become Saints that they adored the Eucharist, rather it was because they adored the Eucharist that they became saints. Most were just like all of us with the same problems, little time on our hands, and, at first, not a truly firm belief in the Real Presence. But in the end they helped transform the world of their times.
How did they do this? They made a firm determined effort to take time out of there busy schedules and planned at least one specific hour each week to come before our beloved Lord in adoration (many of them on a daily basis). Through this hour of grace they became more firmly convinced of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament and went forth to spread His Love in their various apostolates.
It is up to each of us to transform society by joining the army of Eucharistic Adorers that our beloved Lord has been gathering throughout these past 2000 years. Please sign up for a specific special hour each week. The future of our vital Eucharistic Adoration Program at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque depends on our response.
