Eucharistic Adoration has a long history in the Catholic Church. As early as the Council of Nicea (325 AD), churches in monasteries and convents began reserving the Eucharist for adoration. Saints such as St. Ignatius of Antioch in the turn of the first century were said to have reserved the Eucharist after Mass for adoration. Many other saints such St Alphonsus Ligouri, St. Francis of Assisi, St Margaret Mary Aloqoque, St Therese of Liseux, St. Faustina, St. Padre Pio and one of our most recently canonized Popes, St. John Paul II spent countless hours during their lifetime before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. They knew that if they truly wanted to live the gospel message, and share it with others, they would have to be spiritually transformed and filled with Jesus’ presence and peace.
So come and spend time with Jesus:
To praise and adore Him.
To lay your cares and burdens at His feet.
To thank Him for the many blessings He has given you.
To be still before Him.
To be filled with the peace which surpasses all understanding; that only He can give.
