An Early Christmas Present!

Soon the stirring words of that all time favorite Christmas hymn, O Come Let Us Adore Him, will be sung in our Churches, reminding us of the real reason for the Christmas Season. For too many of us that will be the last time we think of adoring our Lord and Savior until we sing those words again next December 25th.

How tragic! Our Lord waits behind locked tabernacle doors, 24 hours a day every day, eagerly looking for your visit, your words of praise and adoration, your prayerful petitions, your tears of sorrow and despair, your plea for help, your humble acknowledgement that You love Him, that you are dependent on Him and that you will never be happy until you are one with Him.

For the most part He waits in vain - rarely a visitor appears to comfort and adore Him.

Stop ignoring He Who is love! Make it a point to stop in at least once during the week every week, even if it just to say "Hi Lord, it's Harry (or Joyce, or Benjamin, or Esther, or whomever you are) I love you!"

You will comfort His sorrowful Heart and He will change yours.

  It should come as no surprise that the efforts of the Lay Dominicans of St. Joseph Province to help  promote Eucharistic Adoration are bearing fruit. Here is one Adoration Chapel where two copies of  their book, Godhead Here in Hiding Whom I Do Adore - Lay Dominicans Reflect on Eucharistic Adoration ,  have found a home. The reflections in this book are stirring souls and touching hearts. Have you gotten your copy yet? Is there one in your Adoration Chapel?  Why not? May Father' Bruno's observations  encourage you to do so: “Hidden within these pages, the reader discovers the God who has chosen to dwell within the Tabernacle of the human heart. Each reflection is its own monstrance, bearing the shape of its unique human author, while manifesting our heavenly Father's Spirit of Truth. Here you will find thoughts and events that are ordinary and surprising, instructive and lyrical, worthy of both cross and crown. The common life of the early Dominicans was called ‘the holy
