Sometimes someone will mention the miracle of life – especially their
children. Sometimes someone will know
someone that was cured after a debilitating illness.
Actually,
every one of us experiences the greatest miracle on Earth every time we go to
Mass! Just think about the ordinary
elements of bread and wine becoming the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our
Lord, Jesus Christ! There can be no
greater miracle!
Almost
ten years ago, on my birthday, I prayed for this gift – a greater appreciation
of the Blessed Sacrament. Being a
cradle-Catholic, I knew the teaching of our faith. I was asking for an appreciation from my
heart. God always hears our
prayers. Less than a year later, I found
myself coordinating Eucharistic Adoration at Good Shepherd. I still have a very long way to go… we cannot
understand many mysteries. Yet spending
time with Our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration increases my appreciation of the
awesome gift of the Mass.
We
have a beautiful new Daily Chapel. I
wish everyone would stop by to spend some time with Our Lord! I wish more people would commit to spending
an hour with Him every week. This
commitment is never burdensome. There
are prayer partners and substitutes for when someone is unable to go. The advantage of being scheduled is that once
it is on the calendar, we go. Then the
Blessings come!
Our
Lady is really the Coordinator of Eucharistic Adoration, all I do is send out
the emails! Her purpose is always to
bring us closer to her Son!
