Eucharistic Adoration The ways of visiting the Blessed Sacrament must be as various as the souls of men. Some love to go there and listen; some to speak, some to confess to Him as if He were their priest and some to examine their consciences as before their judge; some to do homage as to their King; some to study Him as their Doctor and Prophet; some to find shelter as with their Creator; some rejoice in His Divinity, others in His Sacred Humanity; others in the mysteries of the season; some visit Him on different days by His different titles as God, Father, Brother, Shepherd, Head of the Church and the like. Some visit to adore, some to intercede, some to petition, some to return thanks, some to get consolation; but all visit Him to love; and to all who visit Him in love, He is a power of heavenly grace and a fountain of many goods. No single one of which the whole created universe could either merit or confer……. Fr. Frederick William Faber Eucharistic Adoration is scheduled each Friday from noon till 8:00 p.m. A sign-up sheet is at the chapel door for your convenience. Please call Jackie @ 9*17-0458 if you can spend just one hour in chapel with Jesus, thank you.
