St. Veronica's Eucharistic Adoration

Come and see.  As Jesus passed by John the Baptist proclaimed "Behold the Lamb of God!"  His disciples hearing this followed after Jesus.  Jesus turned to them and asked the two disciples of John following behind Him what they wanted.  They asked where Jesus was staying.  Jesus invited them by saying "Come and see."

 

Jesus proclaimed "I am the bread of Life" and when He instituted the Holy Eucharist He said "this is MY BODY this is MY BLOOD."  Come and see.  Come spend time with the Lord in silence in the company of your peers.

There are no membership fees, no admission fees, no prerequisites.  You do not have to be Catholic or even a Christian to come and sit in silence before the Lord.

Are you worried, sick, tired, happy, sad, grieving, joyful, doubting, full of faith, searching for truth or just curious?  Then come and see.  Lay your cares upon the Lord.  Come and ask Him for help, guidance and, wisdom.  Come and thank Him, praise Him and adore Him.

The lights are dimmed.  The bell rings at 9 sharp signaling the start of prayer time.  The night begins with beautiful hymns written by St. Thomas Aquinas, a short reading from the Holy Gospel and then silence for about 45 minutes allowing you time for contemplative prayer and listening for God to speak to you.  After the silent time we enter into a short intercessory prayer period where the men ask the Lord for help, pray for the sick, suffering and dying and thank Him for all of or blessings.  We then pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and end with a hymn and prayers for ourselves and America.  Vocal prayer is not required.  No one is singled out.  You can just sit there in peace if you choose to.  It is a very peaceful calm setting.  Come and see.

All men are welcome.  All are invited to fellowship at the Athena Diner afterwards.

 

Come and see.
