This past week, I received the following testimony about a woman who has seen her life change in a significant way because she was inspired to go in to our Perpetual Eucharistic Chapel and spend time with the Lord. I would like to use most of my pastor's column this week to share it with you and hope that some of you will be inspired to make a spiritual commitment each week to spend one scheduled hour with the Lord in our chapel. It would be acceptable for you to do an hour each week without being "scheduled," but I believe that consistency of doing it at least once a week would be enhanced if you put it in your weekly schedule.
Once upon a time there was a lovely lady. She lived in the Village and was somewhat content. She was invited to attend Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. This lovely lady was not Catholic and knew very little about the Catholic Faith, but she was curious, so she said "yes." She walked into church and felt a peace she had not known before; and then upon entering the Chapel, she felt a presence-and as she kneeled, she knew she was in the Presence of Jesus. She was unable to describe all her emotions; she only knew she needed to come back and she needed to learn more about the Catholic Faith. This lovely lady's life was changing; she loved our Lord Jesus, she loved the Church, and she had a happiness and peace she had never known. She is taking the necessary steps to become Catholic, and she has four Adoration hours each week. She explains that "her day is not complete until she says the Rosary, and she loves being in the Chapel with Jesus."
Sometimes when you are given this great blessing at birth, you do not truly comprehend what a miracle it really is. Yes, Jesus is with you at all times with His Spirit, but through the grace of the Holy Spirit, we now have Jesus present in the chapel, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Jesus is never alone in the Perpetual Adoration Chapel, and each member of our parish should have an hour. Can you imagine inviting Jesus to our Chapel and not being there to adore Him?
