COME
TO ME
I WAIT FOR YOU IN THIS SACRAMENT
OF LOVE
Why Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration?
JESUS WANTS IT!
Because Jesus loves you infinitely,
unlimited is the joy you bring to His Sacred Heart when you come to spend
an hour with Him in the Blessed Sacrament. In an apparition to St.
Margaret Mary Alacoque, Jesus spoke these moving words: “I
have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.”
JESUS GIVES US HIS GRACES!
Jesus stays with us day and night
in the Blessed Sacrament, calling out to each one of us: Come to Me
all of you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you.
Jesus stays with us in the Blessed Sacrament to refresh us in mind
and heart and spirit by lavishing on us those graces that encourage us,
console us, strengthen us, guide us and inspire us to place all of our
trust in His Sacred Heart, so that the power of His Love may cast out every
fear, doubt, worry and anxiety that we have.
A TRULY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH JESUS!
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
helps people to be more personally involved with Christ because it makes
the Eucharist more central in the lives of people. By spending
time with Jesus in the Eucharist, one is able to establish a truly personal
relationship with Him.
THE HOLY FATHER ASKS FOR IT!
Pope John Paul II, in his wonderful
encyclical letter on the Eucharist, Dominicae Cenae, says: “The
encouragement and the deepening of Eucharistic worship are proofs
of that authentic renewal which the council set itself as an aim and of
which they are the central point. . . . The Church and the world
have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this
Sacrament of Love. Let us be generous with our time in going
to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and
ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world.
May our adoration never cease." This is what Perpetual Eucharistic
Adoration is: adoration that never ceases!
BL. MOTHER TERESA ASKS FOR IT!
Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta spoke
of the Love of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, “When you look at
the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you. When you look at
the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now. This is
why you should ask your parish priest to have Perpetual Adoration in your
parish. I beg the Blessed Mother to touch the hearts of all parish priests
that they may have Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in their parishes, and
that it may spread throughout the entire world.” Perpetual Eucharistic
Adoration proclaims the love of Jesus to the world!
EVERYONE CAN PARTICIPATE!
Everyone can participate because
everyone can find at least one hour a week to spend with Jesus. And
whatever hour you choose is most pleasing to the Lord. But He is
especially pleased with the sacrifices made by those who keep Him company
in the middle of the night so that Perpetual Adoration may be a reality.
IT BUILDS A COMMUNITY!
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
builds community because the Eucharist is the Sacrament of Unity.
As one person unites himself to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus unites
everyone closer together through the bond of His Divine Love.
IT BRINGS PEACE!
Pope John Paul II said that
“the
best, the most effective, and the surest way of bringing lasting peace
on earth is through the great power of Eucharistic adoration.”
Only Jesus has the power and love to redirect the course of history back
to the path of peace, which He promised. The Eucharist brings peace
to human hearts. And people with peaceful hearts make a peaceful
world.
IT WILL SAVE THE WORLD!
Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta said
that Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration will save the world. She writes,
“The
time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you
will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will
deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious
and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace
on earth.” For she says, “We cannot underestimate the power of
prayer and the difference it will make in our world.” Through Perpetual
Eucharistic Adoration the world
will be transformed and saved by our Holy Hours which unleash His Eucharistic
Grace and Mercy upon the world.
