#Eucharistic Adoration

[angeltreasure]

Guess who is finally feeling good enough to go visit Jesus? I came to the church and chatted with my new friend about God and our lives. Her bus picked her up. I stopped at the gift shop for the book she recommended. Now I’m praying for you today. Here I am Lord.

I go to Adoration at a chapel in the Carmelite convent by my house, and the smell in there is the best smell in the entire world. I'm trying to figure out if it would be weird to email the sisters and ask what specific incense they use so my house could smell like that too?

Power of Eucharistic Adoration

THE HEALING POWER OF THE EUCHARIST

By Fr John Keane

𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝒂 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒔𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒚.

Very early every Wednesday morning while I worked as a missionary in Ecuador, I used to take very sick people to the hospital in Guayaquil, about a two hour journey.  Over a hundred people would turn up looking to come to the hospital, and I would take over twenty who would stand at the back of the jeep.

One Wednesday morning when I was alone with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in adoration, the Lord told me not to go to take the people to the hospital today, but to bring them into His presence in Eucharistic Adoration and allow Him to touch and heal them.

In obedience I did what Jesus asked, so when they arrived, I told them we will not be going to the hospital today.  They were very disappointed.  I told them that Jesus wanted us to come in Eucharistic adoration and pray with all our hearts that His healing power would come upon us. 

There was a very deep faith in the chapel that morning as the dawn began to break through.  People who had cancer, leukemia, tumours, heart disease, depression, pain and many illnesses were healed through the life-giving presence in the Eucharist.  We were praying with expectant faith for over three hours, and we saw a full tsunami of the healing anointing of Jesus flowing freely.  I will never ever forget that morning, as the Lord, truly present in the Eucharist, showed His mighty power. 

We truly believe as Catholics that Jesus is alive in person in the Eucharist, as truly present as when He walked the roads of our earth two thousand years ago.  The awesome power of Jesus in the Eucharist is beyond description.  He releases His healing touch on all who are emotionally scarred, on all who are crushed and broken, on all who have lost heart and lost hope, on all who are physically ill and in pain.  As we come before Jesus in the Eucharist, let us come with a sure belief that the wonders He did two thousand years ago, He is doing today.

Let us believe that the impossible is possible for the Eucharistic Jesus.  We remember His words in Matthew 7:7 “Ask and you will receive.”  Let us come with faith and bow down before His life-giving power in the Eucharist.

Prayer Before the Eucharist

I adore You, Lord and Creator, hidden in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I adore You for all the works of Your hands, that reveal to me so much wisdom, goodness, and mercy, O Lord. You have spread so much beauty over the earth and it tells me about Your beauty, even though these beautiful things are but a faint reflection of You, incomprehensible Beauty. And although You have hidden Yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eye, enlightened by faith, reaches You and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good, and my heart is completely immersed in prayer of adoration.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for Us.

Amen.

SAINT OF THE DAY (August 2)

St. Peter Julian Eymard, whose feast the Church celebrates on August 2, helped many Catholics - both clergy and laypeople - to rediscover the importance of the Eucharist.

He is also considered a pioneer in involving laypeople more actively in the life of the Church.

Peter Julian Eymard was born on 4 February 1811 near Grenoble, France.

He had wanted to enter the priesthood as a youth, but his father forbade him because he wanted Peter Julian to take over the family business.

Finally, at the age of 18, he was permitted to join the Oblate novitiate, but he became very ill. He was so ill that he was sent back home to die.

However, Peter Julian made a remarkable recovery and entered the seminary once again after his father passed away.

He was ordained to the diocesan priesthood in 1834 but later joined the Marists.

In 1851, he answered a call to establish a community of men dedicated to Eucharistic Adoration called the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Its mission was to promote the importance and significance of the Eucharist.

The congregation also worked with the poor and helped them to prepare for first Communion.

The founder died on 1 August 1868.

Eymard was beatified by Pope Pius XI on 12 July 1925. He was canonized by Pope John XXIII on 9 December 1962.

Praise be Jesus Christ!

I just wanted to share a story about the power of prayer and adoration.

This was around my senior year of high school and I did not have a true relationship with God yet, but the Lord was slowly starting to open my eyes.

During class at around 10 or 11 am, my school had an adoration chapel and my teacher said that whoever wants to go to adoration can go, so I decided to go for a little bit.

That day, for some reason, I really did not want to be at school. I wasn’t sick or anything, I just did not want to be there. I went inside the chapel, sat down in front of the Lord and of all the things I could have said to Him I asked, “Please let me go home Lord, I really don’t want to be here.” I just kept repeating that in my head as I looked upon Him.

I sat there for a few more minutes and then I went back to my classroom. As soon as I walked in, the lights went out. My classmates stood there wondering what was going on and that’s when the principal announced that there’s been a power outage and we need to gather inside the gym. The whole school sat there for a couple of minutes until the principal decided that we can go home because the power would not turn back on until an hour or so. When at least half of the students had left or are in the process of leaving, the power turns back on. There was no way we could resume school for the day since most had already left.

At the time I did not realize that God had answered my prayer as silly as it was, but now I look back at this memory with gratefulness and great humor because God really turned off the power for us to go home just because I told Him that I did not want to be at school that day.

You don’t have to be Catholic to go to Eucharistic Adoration. You can come to it and be with Jesus face to face.

Unseen Warfare

ESSENCE OF THE DEVIL

"The devil has no knees; he cannot kneel; he cannot adore; he cannot pray; he can only look down his nose in contempt. Being unwilling to bend the knee at the name of Jesus is the essence of the devil."

-Abba Apollo of the Desert

Catholic Men and the Eucharist

By Frank J Casella

Back in the days not too long ago, when I roamed as a Catholic photojournalist, my lens captured more than just images. It captured the curious behaviors of the faithful as they approached the altar to receive the holy Eucharist. Some were fervent and eager, while others seemed disinterested. It sparked a thought in my mind - if instead of the bread and wine, they were handed a crisp hundred-dollar bill, would their enthusiasm be greater?

But now, a new invitation has been extended to all American Catholics - a National Eucharistic Revival. A much-needed call to reignite our understanding and reverence for the sacred Host. And as Catholic men, bearing the banner of CMCS, we must answer this summons with zeal.

For truly, the Eucharist is the very essence of our faith, the pinnacle of our worship. It is the source of our strength and the summit of our devotion. Let us lead the charge in responding to this call, and in doing so, bring a renewed fervor to the hearts of all Catholics.

Unleash the transformative power of the Eucharist, for it is the wellspring from which the Christian life flows. From the depths of our souls, it nourishes and empowers us to conquer all obstacles. This dynamic force pulsates throughout every aspect of our being, infusing us with unwavering determination to fulfill our calling.

Dive into this boundless source and let it guide your actions, as this unique flyer by the Knights of Columbus reveals tangible ways to heed its beckoning. Reflect on these opportunities with a devout heart, and together with your loved ones, embark on this transformative pilgrimage.
