ADORATION

ADORATION AWARENESS

“he said to them, “My soul is sorrowful even to

death. Remain here and keep watch." – Mark 14:34

"At the Last Supper, after celebrating the Passover with his disciples and when he was about to pass from this world to his Father, Christ instituted this sacrament as the perpetual memorial of his Passion..., the greatest of all his miracles; and he left this sacrament to those whom his absence filled with grief, as an incomparable consola-tion" (St. Thomas Aquinas, Office of Corpus Christi, 57, 4). Every time we celebrate the Eucharist in the Church, we recall the death of the Savior, we proclaim his Resurrection as we await his return. Thus no sacrament is greater or more precious than that of the Eucharist; and when we receive Communion, we are incorporated into Christ. Our life is transformed and taken up by the Lord. Outside the Eucharistic celebration, the Church is careful to venerate the Blessed Sacrament, which must be "reserved...as the spiritual center of the religious and parish community" (Paul VI, Mysterium Fidel, n. 68). Contemplation prolongs Communion and enables one to meet Christ, true God and true man, in a lasting way, to let oneself be seen by him and to experience his presence. When we contemplate him present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, Christ draws near to us and becomes more intimate to us than we are to ourselves."

- Eucharist: Sacrament to be Adored – Pope Saint John Paul II

Contemplate He Who is true God and true man in Eucharistic Adoration. Draw closer to Him this Lenten Season. More adorers are needed and are always welcome. Adoration is available for all at the scheduled times. If you would like to sign up for a weekly Hour of adoration, please contact: Kathryn Dawson (281-351-0571) or Marty Lang (mmmjlang@comcast.net )
