ADORATION
“Whenever I go to the chapel, I put myself in the presence of our good Lord, and I say to him, ‘Lord, I am here. Tell me what you would have me to do’ . . . And then, I tell God everything that is in my heart. I tell him about my pains and my joys, and then I listen. If you listen, God will also speak to you, for with the good Lord, you have to both speak and listen. God always speaks to you when you approach him plainly and simply.” St. Catherine Laboure Please Note: Adoration will now be on the 1st Tuesday morning of the month after the 9am Mass through 12Noon. Adoration will take place on November 5th in the daily Chapel. |
