Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

We should strive as much as possible to adore our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. We should look for every opportunity possible to pray before the Blessed Sacrament exposed. There are many forms of prayer and there are many opportunities to pray. In fact, we can pray at all times and absolutely anywhere. However, there is absolutely no substitute for prayer before the Blessed Sacrament exposed.

The Consecrated Host is the true presence of Christ, His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Praying before our Lord's presence in the Host in like a window into heaven. It has the effect of calming our souls and setting our hearts not only on the eternal, but on the absolutely truest reality in the universe--God Himself.

What more could we ask for? What more is there to look for in our daily routine after we have placed ourselves in the true presence of our Lord and Creator? He inspires us, gives us strength, enlightens us, and shows us the true path to peace of heart and mind. When was the last time you placed yourself in the Eucharistic presence of Jesus Christ?

Sincerely in Christ,

Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
