Perpetual Adoration  -  Come to the Chapel at any time and spend some time with Jesus!

The Chapel is open during normal business hours.  Please contact the Church office to get the lock code to access the Chapel after hours.

Please consider signing up and committing to spend an hour with Jesus each week.   It takes many volunteers to make Perpetual Adoration happen.  Someone must be present 24 hours per day.  We are particularly in need during the late night and early morning hours.  Please contact the Church office to schedule your time.

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, relax and enjoy the sweet peace that comes from simply being in the Presence of God. You may feel 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.

Pope John Paul II says that: "Our essential commitment in life is to grow spiritually in the climate of the Holy Eucharist."

I Devoutly Adore You

I devoutly adore you, O hidden God,
truly hidden beneath these appearances.
My whole heart submits to you
and in contemplating you
it surrenders itself completely.

Sight, touch, taste are all deceived
in their judgment of you,

but hearing suffices firmly to believe.
I believe all that the Son of God has spoken,
There is nothing truer than this word of truth.

On the Cross only the Divinity was hidden,
but here the Humanity is also hidden.
I believe and confess both
and I ask for what the repentant thief asked.

I do not see the wounds as Thomas did,
but I confess that you are my God.
Make me believe more and more in you,
hope in you, and love you.

O Memorial of our Lord’s death!
Living bread that gives life to man,
grant my soul to live on you
and always to savor your sweetness.

Lord Jesus, good Pelican,
wash me clean with your blood,
one drop of which can free
the entire world of all its sins.

Jesus, whom I now see hidden,
I ask you to fulfill what I so desire:
that on seeing you face to face,
I may be happy in seeing your glory.

Amen.
