Holiness Through Adoration


I will never understand the opposition some of our priests have to participating in and encouraging their parishioners to participate in Eucharstic Adoration.

What follows is another pearl from Father Mark and from In Sinu Jesu, The Journal of a Priest

[What follows is the Introduction to my recently released book, I Thirst for Your Love. The book includes contributions from Dom Mark Daniel Kirby, O.S.B. Copies can be purchased here and here .] The time for mincing words is over.  The most significant crisis in the Catholic Church today, from which all the other problems we are experiencing flow, is the fact that an overwhelming majority of those identifying themselves as Catholic, no longer believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is really, truly and substantially present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament!
