Come, let us adore him

Sometimes, very reverently, the priest takes the Blessed Sacrament out of the tabernacle for Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Eucharistic Adoration. Jesus in the Sacred Host is exposed in a beautiful monstrance on the altar. Then everyone, grown-ups and children, can come and see him, bow, and adore him.

Jesus is looking forward to your visit. He stays there, in secret, waiting for you. Adoring him is a way of responding to his infinite love by paying him a little visit. Jesus is so happy when you come to visit him, in simplicity and silence.

In the church, God is waiting for you. And you come and offer him your presence and your prayer. It’s like throwing yourself into the arms of your heavenly Father. Like blowing him a kiss from your heart.
