Search - Father Stan Fortuna :: Adoration

When people hear "adoration" the obvious questions arise: "Is it a Eucharistic CD?" "Is it about the Blessed Sacrament?" The answer to these questions and others like it is "Yes... Of course..." Yet, what does that mean? The magnitude of the awesomeness of the Eucharistic Mystery gets ignored by some and isolated by others; ignored by people who don't believe and isolated from the culture by people who live and construct a private world in harmony with their religious convictions. Not a good thing. Both of these experiences - the ignoring of the Mystery by some and the isolation of the Mystery by others - are being addressed with the message of the CD. I'm hoping, praying and intending the CD to be a tool, a means to the end of one of the highest human acts - adoration ? thus fostering and strengthening communion with God which will foster and strengthen communion with all peoples. Please pray it will be a help for us who spend time in the Presence of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament and a help for us to live out the spirituality of communion in the heart of the Church and the heart of the contemporary culture as the Holy Father JP II has been stressing and living and challenging us with for years! Check out the following conclusion from JP; "Therefore, I have maintained that a faith that does not effect a persons culture is a faith 'not fully embraced, not entirely thought out, not faithfully lived.'" Peace and Blessings 4 ever in Jesus and Mary...fr stan+...
