Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Merciful God, as we enter Holy week, turn our hearts again to Jerusalem, and to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Stir up within us the gift of faith that we may not only praise Him with our lips, but may follow Him in the way of the cross.

Jesus invites us to dwell within His Presence. And there to come to know the breadth and depth of His love, mercy and kindness that He shows to us. While it’s nice to read or study about the love and mercy of God, how radically different it is from experiencing His love and mercy.

So you are invited this Lenten season to carve out a few extra minutes to be still before God in at Adoration. Quiet your heart that you might hear His heart speak: Cor ad Cor. Heart to heart.

Yes, come with all your concerns and worries; come with all your hopes and desires; come with all your fears and unmet dreams; come with all your sin and what burdens you down; come as you are. But most importantly simply come with your heart. Place it all before Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament. Quietly sit in His presence. Gaze upon Him as He tenderly gazes upon you. Listen to His quiet voice: Cor ad Cor. Heart to heart. How blessed to experience the love of God in so intimate a way at Adoration.

“Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in and eat with that person and they with me.” (Revelation 3:20)

“My soul finds rest in God.” (Psalm 62:1)
