Forming a Core Team

We are forming a team of dedicated Adoration substitutes that would agree to be contacted during certain times of the day in case a scheduled adorer is unable to attend. This does not obligate you in any way to fulfill an hour at a moment's notice. It only gives us a list of contacts that agree to potentially fill an hour, if available, as per their willingness at that particular time.

We have had much trouble in the past maintaining a reliable list of substitutes. So this is a proposed solution to form a group of devoted people committed to seeing that the Lord is never left alone. If you think you are up to the task of this Core Team, please email Linda or call 602-628-3062. We would love to have you! Go Team!

A personal invitation

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is our response to Jesus' love for us.

We become a part of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration when we agree to spend a quiet holy hour of prayer in His  Presence once a week on the same day at the same time every week so that all of us, united together, adore our Lord perpetually seven days as week, twenty-four hours a day.

Please prayerfully consider signing up for an hour of personal Adoration. A gift that the infant child Jesus would find most pleasing...

"In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering."     

Pope Benedict XV 

 

Just a little note of thanks

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, 

Thank you so much  for your love, prayers and cards for my brother Jack. Thank you, he loved and used the shawl everyday. He went home peacefully to be with Jesus. Your cards meant a lot to him. You all are in my daily prayers. God bless you for all you do. 

Lovingly,
Mary 

Thanks to All of You

"This card does not begin to show how much my friend, Marisela, and I appreciate all the prayers and masses on her behalf at the time she had her surgery, Aug __.

"Her surgery, which is one of two she had, was a success. We both know in our hearts that all your prayers helped enormously! Again, thanks ever so much and especially thanks to my sister who informed me and furnished the card for Marisela to fill out and send to you."

Thanks! Armida

why pray for others?

When hearing of the challenges faced by persons going through cancer treatment, we often find these stories upsetting, especially when the patient is of a younger age, or when a family member writes honestly about the thought of losing their loved one. If we choose to examine this reaction closely, we may observe our impulse is to turn away from words of sickness, end of life, or the struggles of the young and old. But Jesus knows He has to redirect us and show us where we can always find Him. If we follow Him, we watch how He passes by those who are secure, confident, and content with themselves. He heads right for the beaten down, suffering, sick, and outcast.

Jesus teaches us that it is the marginalized people of our community who are the most receptive to the message of the gospel because they have first hand experience in knowing how unable we are to live without God. When we avoid adversity, we sever the connection that begins towards the heart of Jesus by offering our helping hand. And what's worse in our refusal is we have rejected the even larger gift of grace returned by the recipient of our help; that which completes the exchange for both parties to willingly, lovingly, joyously accept the full Gift of God being offered.
