EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

There will be no all day Adoration at St. Joseph’s next week on Holy Thursday 17/4. Instead after the Mass of the Lord’s Supper at Our Lady of the Bay that night, we are invited to join the procession to the Altar of Repose and stay for the Vigil in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus said to Peter, (and to us) “Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour?” (Matthew 26:40)

St. John Vianney once compared adoration to spiritual sunbathing. You are taking in the warmth of the grace and love radiating from the Sacred Host. You are invited to drop in and spend some quiet time with the Lord at anytime that day, but to help fill some spaces in the roster please contact Judy on 0402 461 373. Thursday, 8am-4.50pm - St. Joseph’s Church

Never feel worried if you find you have no thoughts at all while you are before the Blessed Sacrament. Never feel inadequate about being an adorer even if you have not developed a spirit of devotion, if you are numb, down and out, or weakened by life. The all important factor is that you are before the Lord. Before Him who knows you inside and out. He reads your innermost thoughts and He still loves you immensely.
