Come to Eucharistic Adoration on Friday, August 13 — anytime between 12 and 3pm. You will be transformed! Christ fills you with His Graces when you spend time with Him in Adoration. Understood simply, Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ. In a deeper sense, it involves "the contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us." During Eucharistic Ado- ration, 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. + + + + + + + + + + + "I went to adoration for the first time in about 20 years. My evening was booked solid, as is normal for most busy moms. I came tearing into the parking lot between kids' activities...flew into the chapel prepared to check adora- tion off my list, but something happened in the quiet-- I listened! I mean really listened! I left feeling refreshed and renewed after my 30 minute retreat of silence. I need to put this on my to do list more often."– Anonymous + + + + + + + + + + + + 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. The Diocesan intention for August is: for unity among all Catholics, while celebrating our diversity. PARISH PANCAKE BREAKFAST!
