Blessed James Alberione

[The Hour of Adoration] prepares one for Holy Mass and Holy Communion. Frequent encounters and familiar conversation with Jesus produce friendship, resemblance, and identity of thought, of feeling and of willing with Jesus.

Invitation

If you are looking for a way to deepen your relationship with God, or yearn for "something more" in your life, you are not alone in your search. God is not only aware of your deepest desires, but longs to become that "Something More." Many people have found healing, wholeness, and fulfillment by praying in the presence of the Eucharistic Jesus. Blessed James Alberione realized that the gift of the Eucharist is an amazing manifestation of God’s great desire to be close to us.

For Christians, the Eucharist "is the source and summit" of life, the highest form of prayer (Lumen gentium, 11). While the Eucharistic Celebration is an act of worship we make together as the People of God, sometimes we need more time to reflect on the meaning of the Eucharist in our lives. Eucharistic adoration is not a substitute for Mass, but a way to deepen our living of the Eucharistic Celebration in all its fullness—a time to ponder the tremendous mystery of Christ’s self-giving love.

Excerpt from Life for the World by Marie Paul Curley, FSP.
