July 11, 2021 – 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 “I suggest asking for God’s guidance. Ask God Our Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirit to teach you how to pray, and then pray in the way you feel drawn to, whether it’s with one of the guides or whatever works best. Speak to God about everything that is on your heart and devote time to listening. My time at adoration varies, but I usually start with a 7-10 minute Examen Prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola, then the Divine Office through the iBreviary app for 10-15 minutes, followed by praying with a passage of Scripture. I choose the Scripture passage depending on what I’m drawn to pray with at the moment. It is either something from the Divine Office (which I just read and was especially moved by), one of the readings of the day, or any lines from Scripture that I’m drawn to. It is also important to make time to just sit in God’s presence and listen. I ask God to speak to my mind and heart and give me all the graces and guidance I need. I then dedicate a certain amount of time to sit with Him, trying to ignore any distracting thoughts that might be on my mind, and listen. The graces from adoration might not be noticed until later that day, week or month. I recommend that every Catholic make time for Eucharistic Adoration. Jesus asks us in Scripture (Mark 14:37) to spend time with Him, countless saints have written about the benefits of praying in the presence of the Eucharist, and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church teaches us that the Eucharist is the ‘source and summit of the life and mission of the Church’.” Joanne Join us as we work to resume Perpetual Adoration at Saint James.
