Oh Holy Thursday Night

There's something really special about Holy Thursday. This is the night, the Lord's Supper that the Holy Eucharist was initiated. Following Mass we had adoration. It was so beautiful. My heart was so joyful to see the faith of others flocking to adore the Lord in the Eucharist. I was touched by seeing people kneeling on the wooden floor, gathering around Our Lord. At times there were Taize chants and other times just stillness, silence. It was really special. I even had the idea to have a Sunday night adoration following our 7pm Mass once a month. I sure hope our priest is interested. My priest said we could do it on the Feast of Corpus Christi. But I want to encourage him for once a month. It would be awesome if it was the start of such an occurence on Corpus Christi. Why don't you ask your priest if he would be willing to have adoration at least once a month. I go weekly and I know not everyone can do so. Let's put more time into such a beautiful devotion as adoring Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

God bless
