[Excerpted from Godhead Here In Hiding Whom I Do Adore - Lay Dominicans Reflect on Eucharistic Adoration]
“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have
the words of eternal life.”
A
promise of faith, hope, and love in this valley of tears, trials and strife.
Where can we find our dear Lord Himself? Catholic tabernacles for sure offer
Him Whom we seek. But a Holy Hour encounter in Eucharistic Adoration is where
He awaits our visit so meek.
We
cannot touch, hear or carry on a face-to-face conversation with the God Whom we
visually do not see. Yet, we sit quietly and gaze on this Treasure of ours as
He speaks to our souls, a comfort for me. With burdens of sin, guilt, sorrow,
fear and pain, we believe and adore; we pray not in vain.
Help
us, dear Lord, to find answers and peace as we sort out the trials of our
earthly place. I don’t fully comprehend—don’t
know if I ever will —The Gift resting
before me in the Monstrance so bright. My worries and problems relax at the
sight and my soul finds peace in that quiet light.
The
answers are not always the ones I want to hear. However, time will show them to
be more than true. Divine Providence it seems is always right. So, trust in His
Will and His love for you. Come to Me all you who are burdened. I will give
you rest.
Spend
an hour in Eucharistic Adoration—one
with One. Lay everything before Him. Hold nothing back. Conclude your prayer in
peace. Thy Will be done. Amen.
