There is absolutely no substitute for prayer before the Blessed Sacrament exposed. Eucharistic adoration is an immeasurable treasure that the Church offers so that we may place ourselves literally at the feet of Jesus Christ. We have the opportunity every day to choose the "better part" as Mary did in order to be with our Lord and Savior. Few things are more pleasing to our Lord. I do not know of any better way to draw from a treasure of infinite graces than Eucharistic adoration.
Is Eucharistic adoration a regular part of our spriritual discipline? Do we allow ourselves to accept the invitation from Christ Himself to come before him humbly and place ourselves at His feet? Do we strive to calm our hearts and minds and listen to our Creator Who desires ardently to communicate His graces and mysteries to us?
We should take every opportunity possible to pray in this manner. The most active and productive saints were always among the most contemplative because they availed themselves to allow the grace of Jesus Christ their Lord to take over their lives.
Have we yet taken this step?
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
