Come to Me all you who labor and are heavily burdened, And I will give you rest ...

Jesus is here with us in the Euchari~t to give us answers- answers that will lead us to truth, happiness and peace. In this culture of death, it is easy for people tq become weary and indifferent to God and His gift of life. People often fall short of their obligation to care for and nurture the spiritual and physical lives of themselves and others. Eucharistic Adoration gives a person the opportunity to nurture his own spiritual life, as well as the spiritual lives of others (through prayer for them.) Prayer also protects the physical lives of those endangered by abortion, euthanasia and other forms of violence. This is because, it is only through the grace which comes from prayer that I make a holy hour each day other's hearts can be changed from see~ing death to loving life. Christ gives us the strength to press on in our battle for life. In order to be in the presence of Jesus in Christ-likein our service to preserve life, we must be filled with His life through prayer. To be Christian, we must follow Christ. If He is the Blessed Sacrament. All not the source of all we do, it is worth nothing. We ask you to join us my sisters of the in prayer for life ... Missionaries of Charity make a daily holy hour as What is Eucharistic Adoration? God is present to us in many ways in our world, but He is especially present to us well, because we find that in 6e Eucharist. As Roman Catholics, we believe that Jesus Christ, who lived 2000 years ago, is truly present in the Eucharist. In Eucharistic Adoration, the through our daily holy hour Host is placed in a monstrance, in order for us to be aS'le to come and pray. Jesus is always hiddea in the tabernacle, but in adoration he is exposed so that we can our love for Jesus becomes come and kneel before Him, face to face, and speak with our God. When Jesus is exposed like this, He can never be left alone. Thus, people sign up to be responsi­ more intimate, our love for ble to some and pray with Him for a certain amount of time (usually I hour) every each other more under­ week. standing, and our love for Why should I go? If Jesus were to come to the JACC, would you come and stand in line for ours just the poor more compassion- to talk to Him for a minute? Even if--you weren't Christian, wouldn't you be at least interested in this God so may people talk about? Well, Jesus is truly, physi­ a t e ... " cally present here on campus- in the Eucharist. IN ADORATION YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND SPEAK WITH YOUR GOD FACE TO FACE. You confide in Him, plead with Him, question Him. And if you sit quietly - Mother Teresa enough, he will inspire you with answers. What do I do when I am there? 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 (like you do whenever you enter a chapel.) You can stand, sit, or kneel- whatever position you pray best in. And then you pray. There are many ways to pray: you can do spiritual reading; you canpray ~rosary; you can sit in·silence; you can even just talk to Jesus- like you would to a 'friend. The most important thing 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 or a 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 ... " -Post-Conciliar (Vatican II) Document, S.CD.W.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Notre Dame looks for its 14th-straight victory

By KERRY SMITH Assisranr Sports Editor

Two years ago, the Providence Friars traveled to Notre Dame only to suffer a 49-point loss at the hands of the Irish. Last season. the Irish traveled to .. ProvidPnce and repeated their stellar performance in their series with the Friars with a 38-point victory. Crushing their Big East rival at home, the Irish showed no mercy as they left Rhode Island with a 97-59 win. This season, the Irish are travelling to Providence again with the same game plan. Taking the court against the Friars tonight. the Irish are looking for their 14th straight win in an attPmpt to extend thPir longest winning streak in ninP seasons. Holding fast to an undefeated confer­ ence record, the 17-2 Irish share the top spot in the Big East with the Connecticut Huskies. The Irish will face the Huskies in their toughest test of the season at the end of February, but first they must take on Providence on unfa­ miliar turf. Irish guards Niele Ivey and Danielle Green have combined to form a power­ ful back court duo and have led the Irish all season and will continue to run the offense against Providence. Ivey, at the point, leads the team in steals and assists and Green has stepped up in recent games to become a scoring machine. Ivey powered the Irish squad in their largest victory of the season Saturday

over Georgetown with 18 points and MIKE HARRISfThe Observer five steals. Notre Dame's Erlcka Haney (3) and Alicia Ratay (22) battle for a rebound in Notre Dame's victory over Georgetown Saturday. The Irish take on the Friars tonight. see HOOPS/page 22
