Adoration: Experience His Silence Contemplative silence is the silence of God. This silence is clinging to God, appearing before God, and placing oneself in his presence, offering oneself to him, mortifying oneself in him, adoring, loving, and hearing him, listening to him and resting in him. This is the silence of eternity, the union of the soul with God. Robert Cardinal Sarah Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, awaits the attention of each and every one of us. How will you respond to His invitation? Eucharistic Adoration is available 24 hours a day in Our Lady s Chapel. Come and be attentive to His silence.
