St. Jude Adoration Chapel 3.23

~ WHY PERPETUAL ADORATION? ~
Because Jesus loves you with an infinite love, you bring unlimited joy to His Sacred Heart when you spend an hour with Him in the Blessed Sacrament.


~ JESUS GIVES US HIS GRACES ~
Jesus stays with us day and night in the Blessed Sacrament, calling out to each one of us: "Come to me all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you."

Jesus stays with us in mind, heart, and spirit by lavishing on us those graces that encourage us, console us, strengthen us, guide us, and inspire us to place all of our trust in His Sacred Heart.

Place your trust in Jesus and watch as the power of His Love casts out every fear, doubt, worry, and anxiety.


~ IT BUILDS COMMUNITY ~
Perpetual Adoration builds community because the Eucharist is the Sacrament of Unity. When one person unites himself with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus brings everyone closer together through the power of His Divine Love.


~ IT BRINGS PEACE ~
Pope John Paul II has said that the best, most effective, and surest way to bring everlasting peace on earth is through the power of Eucharistic Adoration. Only God has the power to redirect the course of history back to the path of peace, which He promised. The Eucharist brings peace to men's hearts, and men with peaceful hearts make a peaceful world.


~ EVERYONE CAN PARTICIPATE ~
Everyone can participate because everyone can find at least one hour each week to spend with Jesus. Whatever hour you choose will please the Lord, but He is especially pleased by the sacrifices of those who keep Him company in the middle of the night. And it is these sacrifices that make Perpetual Adoration a reality.


~ THE WAY TO A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS ~
Perpetual Adoration helps us to become personally involved with Jesus Christ because it makes the Eucharist a centerpiece of our lives. By spending time with Jesus in the Eucharist, you can establish a truly personal relationship with Him.


~ THE HOLY FATHER ASKS FOR IT ~
"In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering." Pope Benedict XVI, March 2, 2006


~ HOW DOES ONE SPEND AN HOUR BEFORE JESUS EXPOSED IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT? ~
This hour Jesus wants you to spend with Him is spent any way you want. You may bring your own prayer books, use the books in the chapel, read the Bible, pray the rosary, or just sit and relax and enjoy the sweet peace that comes from simply being in the Presence of God. You may feel that you can't pray well. Don't let this discourage you. The mere fact that you take time out at a specific time each week to spend an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament pleases Him very much and is in itself a prayer of great faith.
