"The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven...." Mother Teresa
How did Mother Teresa and her religion endure such great sacrifice daily and consistently? Mother Teresa said "It is labor; it does not only work, it is hard labor. But we wouldn't able to do it unless we had Mass and Holy Communion in the morning."
Thanks to all who do spend time with Jesus in the Adoration Chapel.
Nora's story (not her real name)
I have been praying my weekly hour of Adoration, over many years, for my husband to return to Mass and the Sacraments as he has been away from them for 26 years. He didn't even enter the church when our children were making their first Holy Communions and Confirmations. On a wet and very cold winter's day, he dropped me down to the Adoration Chapel for my Holy Hour and asked me to hurry out after the hour as he wanted to go to an important meeting. After the hour, he came to get me and waited outside in the car. After waiting for an extra twenty minutes, he lost patience and ran into the Adoration Chapel to hurry me out. I pretended not to see him and he sat down very impatiently for some minutes. Finally, I got up and left and he came speedily after me. I was expecting a lot of anger and complaints because I had stayed longer than the hour and kept him waiting. In the car, he turned to me and said, calmly and quietly, "I am not going to that meeting I mentioned, but instead I am going to the priest in the Parochial house and ask him to hear my confession. Something came over me as I entered the Adoration Chapel, and I feel God calling me back again". He met with the priest and became a Daily Mass goer and a weekly Adorer for the very first time.
Can you spend an hour with me - if not an hour, can you spend just a little time with me weekly?
