The Lamb of God--Jesus, Eucharistic Fount of Mercy
"I Am the Resurrection and the Life" (Jn 11:25)
The glorious resurrection of our Lord
continues in the glory of this most Blessed Sacrament, because this is
where our Risen Savior dwells, pouring out His life, His light, and
His love to all who come into His Presence. This is the Easter Sacrament
because the Eucharist makes present all the Paschal Mysteries of Christ,
and is the completion of the Paschal Mysteries of His life, death, and
resurrection. The Eucharist is our Risen Lord, where all the power
of His resurrection flows out to all who come into His Eucharistic Presence,
increasing within us His very image and likeness. Jesus is alive
today in the Blessed Sacrament--living, loving and calling us to Himself.
"Behold the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world!"
(Jn 1:29).
Jesus, the Paschal Lamb, is worthy and infinitely
deserving of our unceasing adoration, for He is the Divine Victim slain
for our salvation, Who continues to immolate Himself in the Holy Eucharist:
"the Paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind filled with
grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us" (Vatican II).
John heard a voice crying out from heaven,
"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor, glory and praise"
(Rev 5:12). Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
is worthy of the unceasing Adoration of humanity for all that He has done
for our salvation. John saw the people going before the Lamb
on the Throne, Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, day and night "without pause"
(Rev 4:8). From the Lamb there flowed a river
of grace and love that "healed all the nations" (Rev 22:1, 2).
This is the power, the value and the importance of your Holy Hour of Eucharistic
Adoration. Your sacrifice will heal all the nations! Through Perpetual
Eucharistic Adoration we witness to His resurrection and tell the world:
"He is risen, He is here!" (Contact us to order
the inspiring Eucharistic video/audio tape "Worthy Is The Lamb").
"'The Lord God shall be its [our] Light and The Lamb!'
(Rev 21:23b). His Eucharistic Mercy, Light and
Love wait to be known.... This is why Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
is the greatest and most urgent need of our day. For the Dawn
from on High--Jesus, The Eucharistic Light and Love--is breaking upon us,
to guide our feet unto the way of peace!...." (From the book
Behold The Lamb, available through this apostolate)
"Visit the Lord in that 'heart to heart' contact that is Eucharistic Adoration. Day after day, you will receive new energy to help you to bring comfort to the suffering and peace to the world. Many people are wounded by life: they are excluded from economic progress, and are without a home, a family, a job; there are people who are lost in a world of false illusions, or have abandoned all hope. By contemplating the light radiant on the face of the Risen Christ, you will learn to live as 'children of the light and children of the day' (1 Th 5:5), and in this way you will show that 'the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true' (Eph 5:9)." (From Pope John Paul II's Message for World Youth Day 2002 encouraging young people to go to Eucharistic Adoration)
God's Merciful Love!
"O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You." (St. Mary Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy Diary, 187)
"While the Polish nun, Sister Faustina Kowalska, was praying before the Blessed Sacrament, our Lord revealed Himself to her! There were pink and white rays of Divine light emanating from His Sacred Heart, radiating throughout the entire chapel. Whenever someone came into the chapel for a visit, these divine rays would go forth from Jesus and encircle the whole world. Jesus explained that each person coming before Him in the Blessed Sacrament represented all humanity and that every man, woman and child on the face of the earth experiences a new effect of His goodness, grace, love and mercy for each holy hour made in His divine Presence." (Excerpt from the book Hidden Treasure, by Louis Kaczmarek, available through this apostolate)
Through Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition we answer Jesus--love for Love, and He unleashes His rays of healing upon us, our families and the whole world! In the words of Jesus to St. Mary Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament: "I desire that Adoration take place for the intention of imploring Mercy for the world." Are you willing to make a sacrifice--by spending one Holy Hour each week with Jesus--so that your parish may give Him the glory of having Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration? The Divine Mercy feast is the Sunday after Easter, please go to Adoration, pray the Chaplet!
