Jesus Is With Us As Catholic Christians we believe that our Savior is truly present in the Eucharist. Each time we come before our God in adoration and prayer, we acknowledge the offering that Jesus gave us—his life, our liberation. We come before our God knowing that God is present before us and that God loves each one of us. Consider then, as we gaze upon the Blessed Sacrament, our belief in our Savior and the power of prayer. “Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:19). Prayer is not passive but active. When we pray, we allow ourselves to surrender and trust that God is with us in our hearts, present in the Eucharist and present in the world. —from Eucharistic Adoration: Reflections in the Franciscan Tradition | The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have put together a book providing Catholics with a new and unique resource to deepen their Eucharistic adoration within the Franciscan tradition. Each reflection addresses the spiritual advice of St. Clare to gaze, consider, contemplate, and imitate Christ. | |
