Adoration of Our Lord

Transcription

1 We know that Jesus is there in the tabernacle: let us open our hearts to Him, let us rejoice in His Sacred Presence. That is the best prayer. (St. John Vianney) Holy, Holy, Holy! All the angels and saints adore Thee. And we should too! Jesus said: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and Him alone shall you serve. (Mt 4:10) Jesus is Lord! Adore the One and Only True God. Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, is the greatest after the sacraments, the one dearest to God, and the one most helpful to us. (St. Alphonsus Liguori ) For more information or access code contact Because Christ Himself is present in the sacrament of the altar, He is to be honored with the worship of adoration.

(Dn 6:28) He is always available. "The devotion to the Eucharist is the most noble because it has God as its object; it is the most profitable for salvation, because It gives us the Author of Grace; it is the sweetest, because the Lord is Sweetness Itself," St. Pius X The Eucharist! That is your center, your life, your death. It is God with us in person; you should therefore be His faithful companion...let your love of God be the test of duty, of virtue, of charity; especially, let it be the sacred scale of values by which to regulate your judgments. (Saint Peter Julian Eymard) For in Him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. St. Paul to the Colossians 1:16 We have the opportunity to visit with Him.

He raises the level of morals, fosters virtue, comforts the sorrowful, strengthens the weak and stirs up all those who draw near to Him to imitate Him, so that they may learn from His example to be meek and humble of heart, and to seek not their own interests but those of God.
