Day 7
One
of the things I like most about our parish embracing Eucharistic Adoration is
that it requires people to show up. I know there are some people who don’t
always do it. I know that sometimes that means someone takes two hours. When that
happens to me I just assume God knows I need more prayer at that time. But, for
the most part, when they sign up, people show up.
I know sometimes people don’t commit to a particular hour of Eucharistic Adoration. They think to themselves, “I don’t want to commit because I might not always be available so I’ll just go when I can.” When I’ve taken that approach to adoration I find that I just don’t go. There is something powerful about saying to Jesus, “I’ll meet you here next Tuesday at 3:00 am.” There is something powerful about making a commitment and then showing up.
Perseverance is the pilgrim’s virtue, Matthew Kelly writes. Jesus said it this way: “By perseverance you will secure your lives. Luke 21:19
