PRAY FOR OUR RECENTLY DECEASED PARISHIONERS Gould, Terry Sullivan, Christina Perry Barbara Klapproth - 2 - “Won’t you spend one hour with me?” Come to Eucharistic Adoration on Friday, September 10 — anytime between 12 and 3pm — I keep up the Holy Hour…to grow more and more into His likeness… We become like that which we gaze upon. Looking into a sunset, the face takes on a golden glow. Looking at the Eucharistic Lord for an hour transforms the heart in a mysterious way. - Venerable Fulton J. Sheen - Understood simply, Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ. In a deeper sense, it involves "the con- templation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us." During Eucharistic Adoration, we "watch and wait", we remain "silent" in His Presence and open ourselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist ...By worshiping the Eucharistic Jesus, we become what God wants us to be! Like a magnet, the Lord draws us to Himself and gently transforms us. + + + + + + + + + + + Adoration is held for 40 hours throughout our Diocese from 8 am on the 2nd Thursday of every month, ending at midnight on the following Friday.
