God Calls Us to Come and Adore Him! Why Do We Ignore His Invitation?

Few individuals write as passionately and fervently of the need for us to adore Our Lord, Who though still physically here with and among us, is for the most part ignored and left alone, than Father Mark. Visit him regularly  at Vultus Christi.

He speaks particularly to his brother priests - a message we must help him share. This week is no exception.

Do yourself, your loved ones and the priests you know a favor - read, ponder and share the two articles Father posted this week.
In Faith: a Spark of Fire and Light, he discusses how our visits to the Blessed Sacrament are both an act of faith and a means to make our sufferings and those we love more bearable.

Father invites us in I Know Your Heart's Desire to love Him in the Eucharist not only for ourselves but also for priests "whose hearts have grown indifferent and cold".
There is nothing more important or more needed than making the Eucharist the source, center and summit of our Church and our lives. How foolish we are to ignore this Truth and this great Gift.

MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
