Thank you for posting this thread! If anyone has any doubts as to the power of Christ present in the Eucharist, I strongly recommend that you read this.

There is a young Maronite Catholic priest in Ann Arbor, MI who 'evangeleizes' through Christ, Himself. Totally unpretentious in his approach, he is the first Catholic priest to bring a Monstrance and Consecrated Host into a prison system. The prisoners who were invited to attend this premier event, were not even catholic! Yet, Fr. Antonio believes so strongly in the mercy extended by our Lord, that he invited these men and women to sit in the "presence of our Lord". These stories will move your heart. Many were moved to tears, not understanding why. Within a few months, 31 prisoners asked to be baptized into the Catholic Church! You can read these stories at this link:

JESUS WAS THERE

Meditation on Jesus in the Eucharist

Oh my Lord,
I see you there, o Jesus,
in the form of bread,
so fragile,
so vunerable,
You, at whose name every knee will bow,
You, who sit at the right hand of the Father,
and yet are willing to come here,
feed us,
share with us,
wait with us.
You let yourself be broken
every day
for love of us.
Lord God,
Lamb of God
You take away the sins of the world,
yet to save our souls,
you feed us
with yourself.
O my hidden Jesus,
such a limitless love!
I weep with joy and sorrow,
I cringe with shame
but arise with wonder
that someone
would care so much,
would do so much
for someone
nowhere near worthy!

(I am very excited about this. I ask you to join me in visiting our hidden Lord! I intend, as much as possible to offer up any merits for participating for the poor souls. Thank you, Lord, for coming to us this way. Thank you for your love of us, and help us to open our hearts to you as fully as possible, so you can transform them into hearts like yours. Amen!)

Thank you for this.
Two questions, if I can get a plenary indulgence for a soul in purgatory, will I get both for myself and that soul at the same time if I do the requirements twice in a row. Can I free many souls by repeating the requirements during Adoration?

And what am I required to do here....
>>>Obviously, in all cases, the conditions established to receive a plenary indulgence must be respected.<<<
