EUCHARISTIC ADORATION by Rev. Larry Rice, CSP
Eucharistic adoration is devout prayer before the Body of Christ
in the Eucharist, displayed outside of the context of the Mass.
Once a very widespread practice, it became less popular after the
Second Vatican Council, which placed a greater emphasis on the
active participation of the faithful in the liturgy itself. The origins
of eucharistic adoration are not very well-known.
One of the first references to reserving the Blessed Sacrament for
adoration is in the life of St. Basil the Great in the late fourth cen-
tury. It is said that St. Basil divided the consecrated eucharistic
bread into three parts during the liturgy at his monastery. One part
he consumed himself, the second was given to the monks, and the
third portion was placed in a golden dove suspended above the
altar. It seems likely that this reserved portion was kept for those
who were unable to attend the liturgy because of illness or travel.
The practice of eucharistic adoration among laypeople is thought
to have begun in Avignon, France, on September 11, 1226. King
Louis VIII, having just won a victory over the Albigensians,
asked that the Blessed Sacrament be placed on display at the
Chapel of the Holy Cross. This exposition was so popular that the
local bishop asked to have it continued indefinitely. Pope Hon-
orius III gave his assent, and the practice continued there, nearly
uninterrupted, until the French Revolution in 1792.
Although some liturgical theologians find eucharistic adoration
somewhat at odds with the purpose and practice of the Eucharist
at Mass—that is to say, Communion—in recent years eucharistic
adoration has become more popular, particularly among younger
Catholics. The longest-running eucharistic adoration in the U.S. is
with the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in La Crosse,
who have been praying nonstop for more than 130 years.

Catholic Car Talk/Activities Here are some activities to help your family further
reflect upon the Mass readings:
· Have a family discussion about anger. When is anger useful or
justified? When is anger destructive? Have each family member talk
about how he or she can communicate his or her angry feelings in a
positive way.
· Participate in the parish reconciliation service during Lent with your
family. Remind children that God always loves us and is always
willing to forgive us.
· Talk about ways your family can show respect for God’s house.
Discuss the following questions: What should I do in God’s house?
· Help family members learn about ways we honor God in church.
Talk about ways we honor God at home.

Scrutinies Ordinarily, the Scrutinies are prayed by the elect, those folks in RCIA preparing to enter the Church this Easter. These prayers serve as a reflection akin to an examination of conscience. As we did last year, we are praying the Scrutinies as a parish at all Masses of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of Lent. The reason is to express our spiritual solidarity with the elect: we are all sinners and we are all confronted with our need for the mercy of Christ.
Hearing Assistance is available on request for Sunday liturgy. We have a handful of devices to aid those who find it difficult to hear at Mass. Just ask a greeter, Mass coordinator, or the parish liturgist.
Help with Soiree Interested in helping make the Soiree On The Structure a fantastic event for parishioners? Contact Warren Franke [email protected] to make suggestions or to volunteer in the effort.

For people around the world who are hungry, especially children,
that they receive the nutritious food they need to live healthy,
productive lives.
For farmers around the world who work to improve their harvests
while preserving natural resources, that they may support their
families through the fruits of the land.
For those who are forced from their homes by war, natural
disasters and other tragedies, that they may be welcomed with
love and hospitality in new and foreign lands.
For people around the world who struggle to provide enough food
to meet their families’ daily needs, that they may overcome the
challenges of hunger and poverty.
For our community of faith, that we may deepen our relationship
with Christ by recognizing his face in the faces of our brothers
and sisters in need.

Show me a church that is reaching out through its ministry, and I
will tell you that it is a church rich and alive. We can only reach
outside of our walls if there is an “inward richness” and inward
richness is nourished by the reaching out. It is the Body of Christ
in its "breathing in" and "breathing out." Without these two
working together, the Body of Christ dies. Are we timid? Let us
not forget that our mission is God's very own mission and, to use
a line from a country song, "God ain't finished with us yet." May
our hearts beat with gratitude, hospitality, overflowing generosity
and discipleship—all growing day by day. Bobby LeBlanc
