\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. You are greatly needed!
\n\u201cThe Church and the world have a great need of
\nEucharistic Adoration.\u201d (Pope John Paul II, Dominicae\u00a0Cenae)<\/p>\n

2. This is a personal invitation to you from Jesus.
\n\u201cJesus waits for us in this Sacrament of Love.\u201d (Pope John\u00a0Paul II, Dominicae Canae)<\/p>\n

3. Jesus is counting on you because the Eucharist is the
\ncenter of life.
\n\u201cEvery member of the Church must be vigilant in seeing
\nthat the sacrament of Love shall be at the center of the
\nlife of the people of God so that through all the
\nmanifestations of worship due Him shall be given back love
\nfor love and truly become the life of our souls.\u201d (Pope John\u00a0Paul II, Redeemer of Man)<\/p>\n

4. Your hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament will
\nrepair for evils of the world and bring about peace on
\nearth.
\n\u201cLet us be generous with our time in going to meet Jesus
\nand ready to make reparation for the great evils of the
\nworld. Let your adoration never cease.\u201d (Pope John Paul II,\u00a0Dominicai Cenae)<\/p>\n

5. Day and night Jesus dwells in the Blessed Sacrament
\nbecause you are the most important person in the world to\u00a0Him!
\n\u201cChrist is reserved in our churches as the spiritual center
\nof the heart of the community, the universal Church and
\nall humanity, since within the veil of the species, Christ is
\ncontained, the Invisible Heart of the Church, the Redeemer
\nof the world, the center of all hearts, by Him all things
\nare and of whom we exist.\u201d (Pope Paul IV, Mysterium Fidei)<\/p>\n

6. Jesus wants you to do more than to go to Mass on\u00a0Sunday.
\n\u201cOur communal worship at Mass must go together with
\nour personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic adoration in
\norder that our love may be complete.\u201d (Pope John Paul II,\u00a0Redeemer of Man)<\/p>\n

7. You grow spiritually with each moment you spend with\u00a0Jesus!
\n\u201cOur essential commitment in life is to preserve and
\nadvance constantly in Eucharistic life and Eucharistic
\npiety and to grow spiritually in the climate of the Holy
\nEucharist.\u201d (Pope John Paul II, Redeemer of Man)<\/p>\n

8. The best time you spend on earth is with Jesus, your Best
\nFriend, in the Blessed Sacrament!
\n\u201cHow great is the value of conversation with Christ in the
\nBlessed Sacrament, for there is nothing more consoling
\non earth, nothing more efficacious for advancing along
\nthe road of holiness!\u201d (Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei)<\/p>\n

9. Just as you can be exposed to the sun without receiving
\nits rays, neither can you come to Jesus exposed in the
\nBlessed Sacrament without receiving the Divine Rays of His
\nGrace, His Love, His Peace.
\n\u201cChrist is truly the Emmanuel, that is, God with us, day and
\nnight, He is in our midst. He dwells with us full of grace
\nand truth. He restores morality, nourishes virtue,
\nconsoles the afflicted, strengthens the weak.\u201d (Pope Paul\u00a0VI, Mysterium Fidei)<\/p>\n

10. If Jesus were actually visible in church, everyone would
\nrun to welcome Him, but He remains hidden in the Sacred
\nHost under the appearance of Bread, because He is calling
\nus to faith, that we many come to Him in humility.
\n\u201cThe Blessed Sacrament is the Living Heart of each of our
\nchurches and it is our very sweet duty to honor and
\nadore the Blessed Host, which our eyes see, the Incarnate
\nWord, Whom they cannot see.\u201d (Pope Paul VI, Credo of the\u00a0People of God)<\/p>\n

11. With transforming mercy, Jesus makes our heart one
\nwith His. \u201cHe proposes His own example to those who come
\nto Him, that all may learn to be like Himself, gentle and
\nhumble of heart, and to seek not their own interest but
\nthose of God.\u201d (Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei)<\/p>\n

12. If the Pope himself would give you a special invitation
\nto visit him in the Vatican, this honor would be nothing
\nin comparison to the honor and dignity that Jesus Himself
\nbestows upon you with the Invitation of spending one
\nhour with Him in the Blessed Sacrament.
\n\u201cThe Divine Eucharist bestows upon the Christian people
\nthe incomparable dignity.\u201d (Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
