Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament exposed is one of the greatest treasures that Jesus Christ offers us through His Holy Catholic Church, second only to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass itself. We should be diligent in taking every advantage of this type of prayer as often as possible. When we are fortunate enough to pray before the Blessed Sacrament exposed on a regular basis our lives will inevitalbly be changed.
As a Catholic priest, this is the first thing I do when I rise in the morning. It is the most important part of my day. As confirmed Catholic Christians, we must do our very best to encounter Christ through formal prayer on a regular basis. Our confirmation obliges us to spend our lives bearing witness to Jesus Christ. We cannot effectively bring Christ to the world unless we ourselves are rooted in Him.
Let us pray for one another. Let us pray we always answer the call to proclaim the Gospel.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
