EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Jesus is truly present with us today. He comes quietly and humbly. Only the humble can see, with the eyes of
faith, the humble Jesus hidden in the Blessed Sacra-ment. This is the faith that prompts you to come and adore him. If He was visible and we could see Him with our senses, everyone would run to the Chapel,
night and day, to be with Him. But He remains hidden in the Blessed Sacrament because he is calling us to
faith, that we come to Him in humility. “Blessed are they who do not see and yet believe.”
ADORATION AT ST. MARY’S First Thursday of the month
