CANCELLED - Eucharistic Holy Hour & Sacrament of Reconciliation

All are welcome to adore our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament at a Eucharistic Holy Hour on Monday, March 17 from 6 to 7pm, with the Sacrament of Reconciliation available during the hour. Deacon Clayton Nickel will give a reflection based on Romans 13:12-13 ("Let us then throw off the works of darkness [and] put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day.") 

From the Lorica of Saint Patrick:
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
                                    -St. Patrick (ca. 377) 

In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. . . . It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering.” (Pope Benedict XVI)

The U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops made a video (click here to view) that includes short testimonies by area people on why they participate in Eucharistic Adoration. You may recognize the Adoration Chapel at St. Agnes in Arlington, VA, which offers Perpetual Adoration (24/7).
