Why come
What the saints say
To adore is to stay before Jesus, present in the Eucharist: to look at him, and to let him look at us. Saints of every age have made it the heart of their lives.
“I look at Him and He looks at me.”
A peasant of Ars
to the holy Curé of Ars, who asked him what he was doing before the tabernacle
“He is there!”
Saint John Vianney
The Curé of Ars, looking at the tabernacle.
“The hour that makes my day.”
Blessed Fulton Sheen
He spent an hour before the Blessed Sacrament every day, throughout his sixty years of priesthood.
