| "A conversation with
Jesus. That is what my hour of Adoration is
to me. I talk for a while and then I listen. I get an
overwhelming feeling of love and power after my hour is up." -

"Eucharistic Adoration is
a marvelous gift from Jesus to each one of
us. I am able to sit quietly in His presence to talk of my life
and concerns, knowing that Jesus will isten and give me comfort and
peace. It is a wondrous time of blessing and renewal each
week." - Marie Grewe

"Holy Hour is an
invitation to slow down, be quiet, reconnect with God
and yourself, get rid of the world's distractions, feel the power of
prayer, find strength to meet life's problems and tragedies, think
about the people in your life, pray for them, thank God for you life
and humbly ask His help. Holy Hour is a gift you give
yourself. 'Come spend one hour with me,' says the Lord." -

"It is my special private
time to be with our Lord. Just to talk,
to tell Him about my thoughts and feelings. Pray and thank Him
for all His love and blessings." - D. Artrip |

| "One of the most admirable
effects of Adoration is to maintain in my
heart the divine and eternal life of Jesus Christ. The place is
holy, I am in the presence of God, kneeling at His sacred feet, having
serious reflections and consoling thought; gaining good for myself and
giving pleasure to Him, who delights to be with me also. 'My
prayer, my plea, that it may bring me nearer still, dear Lord to
Thee.'" - Audrey Blair |

"Eucharistic Adoration was
introduced to me as a child. World War
II was waging and I was given the names of 3 soldiers to pray
for. I spent time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament each week,
asking for them to be safe. I felt peaceful and secure in His
presence and knew that He heard me. Yet, all three of my soldiers
died. I knew then at 10 years of age, the peace and joy of
accepting God's will. We are once again at war and He waits for
us to come and pray for peace." - Kathy Roderique |

"When I'm in His
Eucharistic presence, my first reaction is to
recognize there in the monstrance, is the King and Creator of the
universe. He is so awesome and magnificent and I am so
insignificant. I know that where He is, there are the whole host
of heavenly angels and saints. I have the opportunity to join my
Guardian angel in worship and adoration of our Lord. This is the
time I can be more intimately present to Him. Thank you Lord for
the gift of yourself."
- George Flagg |

"'No man can come to the
Father except the Father... draw Him.'
John 6:44. When I am called into His presence, I remind myself of
where I am and before Whom. I know that I am looking at Jesus and
He is looking at me. We are present to each other. His
powerful presence makes up for my weakness and so my time there becomes
a short method to growth in sanctity. Because I am with Him
during that one hour every week, He is with me every hour of every
day. Thank you, Jesus." - Carolyn Flagg |
