Adoration

When is the last time you treated yourself to some time in an Adoration Chapel?

I am scheduled for an hour a week from 2-3 p.m. on Tuesdays.  Sometimes I can get there.  Sometimes I can't.

Today, I could.  It was wonderful.

A very wise priest told me to take a notebook with me and start each fresh page with, "Dear Jesus" and then just write.  Being a writer, that had great appeal for me.  I took his advice and now have a journal of my Adoration time.

I love to look back and see what was up only a few short weeks ago, or maybe a month or two.  I like to see what problems have been resolved and how my moods were during my visits.  Not surprisingly, I'm always in a better mood when I leave no matter what "garbage" I bring in with me.

Today was  a grateful day.  I have a lot for which to be thankful.

About half way through my visit, a class from the grade school came for some time with the Lord.  They were so quiet and well behaved it was lovely to have them there.  They, too,  brought journals (a sign of a wise teacher).  Some brought Bibles.  They all were touched by grace.

Having a rough day?  Need some peace and quiet?  Rejoicing over answered prayers?

Go to the Chapel.  Jesus awaits you!
