Eucharistic Adoration: The Way to End Abortion
Apostolate for Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration ^ | 1999 | Rev. Victor P. Warkulwiz, M.S.S.

Posted on 07/30/2015 6:07:57 PM PDT by mlizzy

The Eucharist is the focal point of the Catholic faith because it is Jesus present with us here on earth today. In the Eucharist, Jesus prolongs His presence on earth and most completely fulfills His words: "Behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world" (Mt. 28:20).

The Eucharist is Jesus' greatest expression of His love for us. Jesus expresses His love for us in three ways in the Eucharist: by re-presenting His sacrifice of the Cross in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, by uniting His life with ours in Holy Communion, and by giving us the gift of His continual presence in the Blessed Sacrament. This is another way of saying that the Eucharist is a threefold sacrament, i.e., it confers grace in three different ways. We will focus here on the third way. Prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is efficacious, and it is the way to secure the graces necessary to put an end to abortion in the world. Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, "If people spent an hour a week in Eucharistic adoration, abortion would be ended."

Of the many graces received by prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the greatest by far is the sanctification of the adorer. Young people should be encouraged to spend time before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. In that way they will fortify themselves against temptations against chastity, which, when succumbed to, often lead to the sin of abortion.

Pope Paul VI said that Eucharistic adoration cultivates in the soul "a 'social' love by which the common good is given preference over the good of the individual." This heightened social conscience makes one more aware of the immense dignity of every human person; it allows one to see clearly that every human person is uniquely created and specially loved by God. Such a sensitized conscience finds abortion abhorrent and could never hold a "pro-choice" position.

Pope John Paul II, in a recent letter commemorating the 750th anniversary of the first celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi, said that "through adoration the Christian mysteriously contributes to the radical transformation of the world." This is a powerful statement that affirms the awesome power of Eucharistic adoration, the power that will transform our "culture of death" into a culture of life. Eucharistic adoration is the most powerful means one can employ to win graces for the conversion and salvation of those involved in abortion and other sins against human life. Blessed Dina Belanger was told by Jesus in a vision that a multitude of souls were saved from the fires of hell by her Eucharistic holy hours of prayer.

The heart of the apostolate of every pro-life worker should be a weekly Eucharistic holy hour dedicated specifically to the end of contraception, abortion and euthanasia throughout the world. It is necessary to pray first for the end of contraception because abortion and euthanasia are logical and natural consequences of contraception. If man dares to usurp God's prerogative and determine when life begins, it follows that he will also dare to determine when it ends.

Putting an end to abortion is just one of many reasons why every parish should have perpetual Eucharistic adoration. Perpetual Eucharistic adoration is the "devotion of devotions." It provides an easy and convenient means for everyone in the parish to spend at least an hour a week with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I urge all Catholic pro-lifers to encourage their pastors to start perpetual adoration in their parishes.

There's no better time to visit an adoration chapel (for pro-life) than now, with the tireless efforts of David Daleiden and his crew at Center for Medical Progress backing you up! Pray, pray, pray, like monks (for the babies and their mothers), in front of the Blessed Sacrament; beg Him for some relief, and it will surely come. Jesus, we love you; Jesus, we adore you... ♥ ♥

"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has shown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts ~ a child ~ as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters. And in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, "Notable and Quotable," Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94

I have not gone to adoration in a long time. Thank you for this reminder.

You are welcome! A woman on Facebook (of all places), told me Eucharistic adoration (40 hours for Life), for her, was “life-changing.” I was intrigued and implemented the same for myself, and have never looked back, not even once. She was correct!! :)

Eucharistic Adoration: The Way to End Abortion

Really? It didn't work on the first 90 million abortions.

When Pelosi gets refused at communion, I’ll believe the church is true to its teachings.

You have to read the post:

“If people spent an hour a week in Eucharistic adoration, abortion would be ended.” -Mother Teresa

[Most] people DON’T spend an hour a week in Eucharistic adoration; do you?

People waiting for Pelosi to be slapped down for her total disrespect of the Church's teachings, will be waiting for quite some time, I'm afraid. Meanwhile, Jesus awaits ... in the Eucharist ...

Every Friday we have Adoration for 90 minutes after the 8 AM Mass. At least 20 people are able to stay for that.

I’m not waiting for any such thing, just wondering when the church will practice what it preaches

As Mother Teresa has said, the Church will always have its problems, but the faith, itself, is without flaw...

thanx that’s reassuring. What I see is weak leadership who don’t give a damn about the eucharist or they would stop baby killers from taking communion. That’s a problem Mother Theresa would tell you is easily solved. It just takes consistency and will.

Those who give scandal are spiritual murderers. Those who abandon the faith because of scandal are spiritual suicides.

The hierarchy are members of the Church. They are not “the Church.”

At all times, some members of the Church practice what the Church preaches, and some don’t.

The Pope does not care. He just appointed two major Archbishops—to Chicago and San Diego—both of whom were KNOWN defenders of Communion-for-Pelosi.

all of the above

I think the issuing of communion to baby killers is as big as the child molester scandals. It indicates more moral rot.

This is true; yet, the Eucharist never disappoints. One must never walk away from Jesus because another causes distraction.
