That was very beautiful, thank you, but... tears, tears...

Last year, through the grace of God (and a wonderful woman who planted the seed), I spent one hour at Adoration every day of Lent. This year, having moved too far from the Chapel, I asked our new priest if I could stay after Mass and pray for an hour and he agreed that I could. "...Let Us Return to Prayer" indeed!

From the words of Pope Benedict XVI..

"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 the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering." “With the Synod Assembly, therefore, I heartily recommend to the Church’s pastors and to the People of God the practice of Eucharistic Adoration, both individually and in community…Great benefit would ensue from a suitable catechesis explaining the importance of this act of worship, which enables the faithful to experience the liturgical celebration more fully and more fruitfully. Wherever possible, it would be appropriate, especially in densely populated areas, to set aside specific churches or oratories for Perpetual Adoration.”(Pope Benedict XVI, February 22, 2007, Sacramentum Caritatis, Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation)
