Tuesday Adoration of the Most Holy Eucharist
Silent Eucharistic Adoration is available at Nativity each Tuesday from 5:00–8:00 pm. All are welcome!
What is Eucharistic Adoration?
It is a time when you can come face-to face with Jesus, and pray in silence to the Lord of all creation, right here in our church! Jesus looks at you and you look at Him fully present in the Blessed Sacrament, which is the Bread of Life.
Why should you go?
Eucharistic Adoration is an opportunity for you to take time out of your busy life to come and silently rest in the Lord! You are welcome to stop by for any amount of time between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm. This is purely an opportunity for you to pray.
Below is an excerpt from St Francis of Assisi’s best friend’s religious order:
———
“The most powerful thing we can do on this earth with our time is to spend it in Eucharistic adoration. Nothing can do more to change the world, to bring about peace, to convert hearts, to make reparation for the many evils committed.
Spending time in prayer may seem, on the outside, to be a passive thing; however, it is anything but! Our world is in desperate need of hope, of renewal, of a ‘turning back’ to the things of God. By visiting Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, we take up the best weapon for the battles of our age and contribute to the healing of our culture.
Cultivating a Eucharistic life of adoration also bears tremendous fruit in our own hearts and lives. We cannot spend time in the rays of His Eucharistic Presence without receiving His grace, His love, His mercy, His peace. As we gaze upon Him face to face, we are transformed little by little into a closer reflection of His divine image.”
