\nthat Thursday is a more apt for Eucharistic adoration on a stable basis in one’s

\nLord’s Supper, “the Church commemorates the institution of the Eucharist, the
\nministerial priesthood and the new commandment of charity, left by Jesus to his
\ndisciples.” In another place he said that there is
\na “…renewed invitation to render thanks to God for the supreme gift of the
\nEucharist, to be received with devotion and to be adored with lively faith.
\nBecause of this, the Church encourages, after the celebration of Holy Mass,
\nwatching in the presence of the Most Holy Sacrament<\/span>, recalling<\/i> the sad hour that
\nJesus passed in solitude and prayer in Gethsemane, before being arrested and
\nthen being condemned to death.” We therefore adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, either following Mass or at another time to live in the graces of what happened at Mass. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament extends the graces of the Mass even after Mass has ended.<\/p>\n
\nspirit of renewal with the Eucharist, the ministerial priesthood and the
\ntheology of the Mass. The gift of sanctification (holiness) promised us by the
\nLord is made real in the bond we have with the Eucharistic Lord. Our lives
\ndepend on it because a strong Eucharistic spirituality centers our heart in the
\nheart of the Church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
