Eucharistic Adoration "Could you not watch one hour with me?" (Mt. 26:40)
Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. In the many Churches that have this adoration, the Eucharist is displayed in a special holder called a monstrance, and people come to pray and worship Jesus continually throughout the day and often the night. Christs' great love for us was shown when he was crucified on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and give us eternal life. He loves us without limit, and offers Himself to us in the Holy sacrament of the Eucharist. Can we not give Jesus a few minutes of love and adoration in return? On the first Thursday of each month, the Church of St. Thérèse in Chesapeake hosts a regional Eucharistic Adoration. We begin with Liturgy at 9:00 am and continue with adoration for an hour, and close with Benediction at 10:30 am. Come and spend one hour with Our Lord in prayer, worship, reading spiritual or Biblical passages or in sacred silence. for more information, please contact Marilynn Briggs at 673-3616 /info@sttheresechesva.org .
