Adoration

Could you not watch one Hour with Me?

"The only time our Lord asked the Apostles for anything was the night when He went into His agony. But as often in the history of the church since that time, evil was awake, but the disciples were asleep.  That is why there came out of his anguished and lonely Heart a sigh: "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" (Mt:26:40)

 

Let us visit Jesus often in the tabernacles of our churches. Let us attend Holy Hours and Eucharistic Adoration. Let us have hearts that are aflame with love for Jesus. For Jesus is Love and He loves us so very much. Let us love Him in return. Let us also love Jesus for those who do not love Him. Let us offer Jesus much reparation for all the ingratitude, irreverence and outrages He receives in the Holy Eucharist, the Sacrament of His Love.

Let us go to Jesus and, kneeling before Him, let us ask Him for so many precious graces -- the grace to become a saint first of all and then let us ask for graces and blessings for our families, friends and all those in need. How effective our prayers will be as we pour out our hearts in loving supplication before Jesus-Host. How blessed and rewarded the soul will be that always turns first to Jesus in the Tabernacle with all problems and difficulties. Let Jesus be your Divine Counselor, your never-failing- advisor. Turn to Him will all your problems.

Let the tabernacle of your nearest church be where you leave all your burdens and problems. Let before-the-tabernacle be your place of refuge. Mother Teresa of Calcutta says "MY TELEVISION IS THE TABERNACLE." Let it be so for you. Let the tabernacle be where you spend YOUR prime time choosing the channel of Grace! At death we will be so grateful for the precious hours spent with Jesus and so regretful of so many hours wasted.

 

NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LOURDES

ADORACION PERMANENTE DE EL SANTISIMO SACRAMENTO

A partir del día Domingo 13 de Junio , hemos sido bendecidos como parroquia, pues ahora tenemos la exposición permanente del Santísimo Sacramento, en un área especialmente diseñada y dedicada a la adoración a nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Todos necesitamos tiempo para orar, dejar que Dios nos hable en silencio, y nos llene con sus bendiciones. Que mejor manera de experimentar esto que pasar una hora con Nuestro Señor Jesucristo en el Sacramento de la Eucaristía.

Los invito a formar equipo con los feligreses que ya se han anotado para ser oradores en las diferentes horas de oración que dedicamos al Santísimo. Esto te tomará una hora a la semana que pudes compartir con Jesus en el momento del día de la semana que más te convenga. Es en realidad un pequeño sacrificio que harás, que se te multiplicará en bendiciones para ti y tu familia, pero sobre todo para la comunidad en que vives, pues el poder de la oración de grupo es inmenso, las gracias que trae son incalculables y la paz interna que te procuce es indescriptible.

Por favor los exorto a que hagan el compromiso de esta hora lo antes posible y se anoten en las planillas que que están disponibles en la antesala de la capilla de oraciones al Santisimo en la Parroquia, y de esta forma empezar una nueva etapa en sus vidas que les traerá nuevas iluciones y esperanzas, además de muchas bendiciones y sobre todo mucha paz interior.

 

OUR LADY OF LOURDES PARISH

PERMANENT BLESSED SACRAMENT ADORATION

Since Sunday June 13th, our parish has been blessed as we now have permanent (24/7) exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in an area specially design and dedicated to the adoration of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We all need time to pray, letting God speak to us in silence, and fill us with His blessings. What better way to experience this than to spend an hour with Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

I invite you to become part of the team of parishioners who have already signed their names and committed to pray for an hour a week to the Blessed Sacrament. This will only take an hour of your time a week which you can share with Jesus at the most convenient time for you. In reality is a very small sacrifice you will do which will turn into many blessings for you and your family, but most of all for your community, because the power of group praying is huge, the graces that it brings are unimaginable, and the internal peace that produces is beyond your wildest dreams.

Please I encourage you to be among the many parishioners who have decided to commit this hour as soon as possible, and write down your name on the forms available at the main entrance of the Adoration Room at the parish, and in doing so you will be starting a new phase in your life which will bring you new hopes, as well as countless blessings, but most of all a wonderful feeling of internal peace.
