EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Our Parish Eucharistic Adoration takes place each week Monday from 2.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. (except when Monday is a Public Holiday).
This is an opportunity for us to pray for the needs of the Church, the needs of the world and our own particular needs. “Can you not spend one hour (or even half an hour) with me?” “Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, reserved in the tabernacle or at Exposition, is a inexhaustible source of holiness. It fosters our faith in the Real Presence, and deepens our communion with Christ”
(The Eucharist: A Pocket Catechism, page 41)

The Hope that is in Us
(cf. 2nd Reading today)
God our Father, you wish us
always to be ready to answer
anyone who asks the reason
for the hope that is in us.
We pray to you:
Place in us your Holy Spirit,
the Spirit of truth and love.
Help us to bear withness to your truth
with the purest charity,
so that our truth may always be charitable,
full of respect for those who do not believe.
Help us also to bear witness to your love
with a shining truth,
so that our love may always be true,
full of patience for those who do not love you.
Then we will be witnesses of your Son Jesus,
in whom love and truth dwell together.
(Lucien Deiss )
