Be still and know - Be still and listen. Jesus Does Not Go Away After Mass… The Lord Jesus Christ is the center of our lives. We meet Jesus especially in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the reception of Holy Communion nourishes us, heals us and strengthens us. Mass on the Lord’s Day and daily Mass are unsurpassable ways to encounter Jesus. After Mass, Jesus does not go away. Eucharistic Adoration is the main way we prolong this encounter with Him. Eucharistic Adoration is when we pray in the Church or in Mary’s Chapel before the Holy Eucharist reserved in the tabernacle throughout the week, or in the monstrance place on the altar. Here at Saint Joseph’s, key times for Eucharistic Adoration, praying with Jesus in the Eucharist in the monstrance on the altar, take place during the day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in Mary’s Chapel from after the 6:30 a.m. Mass through the day until 7 p.m. We are planning to continue these times throughout the summer months. Thank you to all those who come and spend time in prayer with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. If you don’t already take time with the Lord, consider doing so. Spend some time with Our Lord & Savior on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm.
