EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Due to the COVID spike, we are going to take extra precautionary measures and suspend EUCHARISTIC ADORATION until further notice.
Until we can begin again, remember our church remains open each day after morning mass/communion service until noon for your private prayer.
“THE GIFT of TIME” – There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for everything under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1
Time is a gift from God. To appreciate this gift more, I suggest this simple exercise. Find a ticking clock. Listen to the ticking for several minutes. Do nothing else. Just listen. Be aware of both the ticking sound and the silence between every tick. Remember, every tick indicated the passing of a moment of time, a moment of your life.
After listening, ask yourself how the experience felt. Calming? Irritating? Boring? Interesting? If every tick represents one second, how many ticks have you lived so far? (One year equals 31,536,000 seconds.) How many ticks do you estimate that you have left to live? How have you chosen to spend your ticks so far: sleeping, working, eating, relaxing, talking, listening, reading, playing, praying? Is there something you would like to devote more ticks to in the future?

I feel sure you do those first 8 activities without even thinking – every day. As we begin this third week of Advent, be sure to include daily prayer to the ticking clock! God, Timeless One, my life is in your hands!
