ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

"I paid a visit to Jesus today,

where I could kneel, adore and pray.

There I found such joy and great peace,

wanting these feelings never to cease.

God's loving invitation is extended today,

to come visit, kneel, adore and pray.

Every Thursday, from 8:30 till Noon.

Please come and visit Jesus very soon"(I.C.)

We are very fortunate to have Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament every Thursday morning.  It is a wonderful opportunity to visit with Jesus in a most personal way.

At the present time there are individuals who have volunteered to stay each half hour with the Blessed Sacrament, but we are in need of others. If you cannot volunteer on a weekly basis as this time, please stop in from 8:30 to noon so that our volunteers do not sit alone. In this month's "The Word Among Us" there are four excellent articles on why we have adoration. The booklets are at all exits of the church, next to the bulletins. Please take one.

You can contact Rita at 732-469-2874 if you wish to volunteer.

Standard for Comparison

 

A sense of Stewardship tells us we must take time to do God’s work on earth.  When you compare what you have contributed in time, do not compare it to what your fellow church member has done.  Compare what you have done to what God has done for you.  This must be the standard for your comparison.

 

 

Killing Time

 

How do I kill time?  Let me count the ways.

By worrying about things

over which I have no control. 

Like the past.  Like the future.

By harboring resentment and anger over hurts real or imagined.

By disdaining the ordinary, or rather,

what I so mindlessly call ordinary.

By concern over what’s in it for me rather than what’s in me for it.

By failing to appreciate what is because of might-have-beens, should-have-beens, could-have-beens.

These are some of the way I kill time.

Jesus didn’t kill time.

He gave life to it.

His own.
