JERUSALEM Chanting and swaying in prayer, 200,000 Orthodox Jews gathered in Jerusalem on Sunday to protest court rulings they say threaten their way of life. About 50,000 secu­ lar Jews, some with Rowers in their hair and dancing to bongo drum rhythms, formed a counter-protest nearby and heard speakers promising cultural “war." Recent Supreme Court decisions cleared the way for seminary students to be drafted, and challenged the Orthodox control of marriage, burial, Sabbath travel and other personal status issues. Last week, leading rabbis called the judges "enemies" and accused them of trying to destroy Judaism. Thousands of ultra- Orthodox men and women filled a crossroads at Jerusalem's western entrance.

Gather with us in Eucharistic Adoration to pray for an end to the culture of death.

Jesus is lie re with us in the Eucharist to give us answers—answers that w ill lead us to truth, happiness and peace. In this culture o f death, it is easy for people to become weary and indifferent to God and His gift o f life. People often fall short o f their obligation to care for and nurture the spiritual and physical lives o f themselves and o til­ ers. Eucharistic Adoration gives a person the opportunity to nurture his own spiritual life, as well as the spiritual lives o f others (through prayer for them.) Prayer also protects the physical lives of those endangered by abortion, euthanasia and other forms o f violence. It is only through the grace which

5*:.;■ .... comes from prayer that others' hearts can be changed from seeking death to loving life. Christ gives us the strength to press on in our battle for life. In order to be Christ-like in our service to preserve life, we must be filled with His life'through prayer. We ask you to join us in prayer for life at Eucharistic Adoration.

What is Eucharistic Adoration? God is present to us in many ways in our. world, but He is especially present to us in the Eucharist. As Roman Catholics, we believe that Jesus Christ, who lived 2000 years ago, is truly present in the Eucharist. In Eucharistic Adoration, the Host is placed in a monstrance, in order for us to be able to come and pray. Jesus is always hidden in the tabernacle, but in adoration He is exposed so that we can come and kneel before Him, face to face, and speak with God. When Jesus is exposed like this, He can never be left alone.Thus, people sign up to be responsible to come and pray with Him for a certain amount of time (usually '/ 2*1 hour) every week.

"I make a holy hour each day in the presence Why should I go? oj f Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. A lli my If Jesus were to come to the JACC, wouldn't you come and stand in line for hours just sisters o f the Missionaries o f C harity make a daily to talk to Him for a minute? Even if you weren't Christian, wouldn't you be at least interested in this God so many people talk about? Well, Jesus is truly present liere on holy hour as well, because we fin d that through campus-in the Eucharist. IN ADORATION YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO our daily holy hour our love for Jesus becomes AND SPEAK WITH GOD FACE TO FACE. You can confide in Him, plead with Him, question Him. And if you sit quietly enough, He will inspire you with answers. more intimate, our love for each other more understanding, and our love for the poor more What do I do when I am there? compassionate..." When you enter the chapel, you should genuflect as a sign of reverence to Jesus. It is common practice during Adoration to genuflect on two knees, instead of just one —M other Teresa * (like you do whenever you enter a chapel.) You can stand, sit, or kneel—whatever helps you pray. And then you pray. There are many ways to pray: you can do spiritual reading; you can pray a rosary; you can sit in silence; you can even just talk to Jesus- like you would to a friend. The most important tiling is that you love Him and allow Him to love and strengthen you.

What does the Church think? "Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, whether in a pyx ora monstrance, is a recognition of the wondrous Presence of Christ in the sacrament and stimulates us to unite ourselves to Him in a spiritual communion. It is, accordingly, eminently in harmony with the worship which we owe Him in spirit and truth..."
