Reflections on Eucharistic Adoration When I finally get my thoughts together and realize what is going on before me I can close my eyes and just sit in the Lord’s presence. Trying not to let the outside world enter into this precious inside world of mine, I give thanks for just being able to be here in church. I have made this a choice because “I” need to be here more than any other place at this moment. I need to get filled up, refueled, spiritually energized again. There are others who need me to be here also; my family, friends and even strangers who have asked me to remember them in prayer. I have a small statue of Jesus with little children around Him. I picture Jesus sitting on the top step near the altar. I can see Him look up from time to time, looking at who is walking into church and imagine His smile of approval. Not every time is emotional but there have been occasions where a reading, sentence in a book or even a thought can give me a spiritual high. After all, I am not spending time with just any ordinary person. No one actually has the time to commit to Eucharistic Adoration. Fathers, mothers, grandparents, even children are just too busy these days. That is precisely why we all need the peace of Eucharistic Adoration. You don’t have to visit every week or even for an hour. Just come and let the Lord look up and see you walking in the door. JoAnn Buehler |
