PRAYER AND WORSHIP
What is adoration? Why do we have it every First Friday?
Do I need to go? I’m not too keen about silence.
Thanks, Great question. Yes, Nativity hosts Eucharist
Adoration every First Friday. But we can go to adoration
every day if we want/need. Adoration answers part of the
question that Jesus asks us each and every day; “Who do
you say that I Am?” We go to visit Jesus in the Eucharistic
Jesus.
We like to spend time with friends? Yes or Yes? The <rst
week in August there was a news article that stated that,
“22% of millennials say they have “no friends.” Jesus is a
friend I like to visit so I can ask Him to bless my children
and grandchildren. Yes, there are times when I pray the
rosary, and there are times when I go and just sit with
Jesus. He asks us in Scripture if we can spend an hour
with Him (Mt. 26:40). There are times when the hour
seems to Qy by.
You know, when you spend time with a friend you tell
them not only your problems, but your joys, and the de-
sires of your heart. At other times, friends just spend
quiet time with each other and don’t spend a lot of energy
chattering. They are so comfortable with each other they
just listening to each other breath and perhaps touch
each other by sharing that air. If I may, just watch how
your grandparents in their 80s with 60 years of sacra-
mental marriage behind them, communicate with each
other without saying a word. Someone, I think it was St.
Padre Pio said, “God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth to use
for His glory.” To a certain degree we can say that Adora-
tion gives us time to evaluate our daily lives and what is
important in life. I <rmly believe that when we take
(make) the time to listen to Jesus, we will hear His voice
and He will answer the desires of our heart.
Thanks again, for putting your question in the “Question
Jar” at the Ambassador’s table.
RESPECT LIFE: RESPECT LIFE: In light of the resent
shootings in America, Let us prayerful ask ourselves,
‘What media am I watching on TV? What games am I play-
ing on my devices that either build respect for life, or
deem and destroy it?’ Do I spend more time with media
than with prayer?
Elaine DeJohn William Salsberry Jan Pontia
¿Qué es la adoración? ¿Por qué lo tenemos cada primer viernes? ¿Necesito
irme? No estoy demasiado interesado en el silencio.
Gracias, gran pregunta. Sí, Natividad celebra la adoración eucarística cada pri-
mer viernes. Pero podemos ir a la adoración todos los días si queremos / nece-
sitamos. La adoración responde parte de la pregunta que Jesús nos hace todos
los días; “¿Quién dices que soy yo?” Vamos a visitar a Jesús en el Jesús euca-
rístico.
¿Nos gusta pasar tiempo con amigos? ¿Sí o sí? La primera semana de agosto
hubo un artículo de noticias que decía que "el 22% de los millennials dice que"
no tienen amigos ". Jesús es un amigo que me gusta visitar para poder pedirle
que bendiga a mis hZos y nietos. Sí, hay momentos en que rezo el rosario, y hay
momentos en que voy y me siento con Jesús. Él nos pregunta en las Escrituras
si podemos pasar una hora con Él (Mt. 26:40). Hay momentos en que la hora
parece pasar volando.
Ya sabes, cuando pasas tiempo con un amigo, le cuentas no solo tus problemas,
sino también tus alegrías y los deseos de tu corazón. En otras ocasiones, los
amigos simplemente pasan tiempo juntos y no gastan mucha energía parlote-
ando. Están tan cómodos el uno con el otro que solo se escuchan el aliento y tal
vez se tocan al compartir ese aire. Si puedo, solo observe cómo sus abuelos en
sus 80 años con 60 años de matrimonio sacramental detrás de ellos, se co-
munican entre sí sin decir una palabra. Alguien, creo que fue San Padre Pío,
dZo: "Dios te dio 2 oídos y 1 boca para usar para Su gloria". Hasta cierto punto,
podemos decir que la Adoración nos da tiempo para evaluar nuestra vida diaria
y lo que es importante en vida. Creo <rmemente que cuando nos tomamos el
tiempo para escuchar a Jesús, escucharemos su voz y Él responderá a los
deseos de nuestro corazón.
Gracias de nuevo por poner su pregunta en el "Frasco de preguntas" en la mesa
del embajador.
RESPETO A LA VIDA: RESPETO A LA VIDA: a la luz de los disparos resentidos
en Estados Unidos, preguntémonos en oración: ¿Qué medios estoy viendo en la
televisión? ¿Qué juegos estoy jugando en mis dispositivos que generan respeto
por la vida o lo consideran y destruyen? ¿Paso más tiempo con los medios que
con la oración?
DID YOU KNOW?
?SABIAS?
