I started a regular hour on Saturday afternoons during Advent last December, but I found my soul was just getting warmed up when it was time to leave. So in January I signed up for two hours. Even that still goes by pretty fast.
Spending quality time with Jesus is a great way to enjoy one's weekend.
Hi Nancy ~ I couldn't agree more! I too have longed for more Adoration time, and since I'm no longer employed, I have it! One time I checked my watch and saw that over two hours had flown by, while in His glorious Presence~ Sometimes it's "dry"but God has been so kind to his "little girl" that it's also been very consoling for me to be with Him, too. I signed up for Sunday evening in 2006 but only did it for 3 months. I'm so sporadic! I do have trouble keeping commitments. Novenas? I start off with such good intentions, but by the 2nd day, I've forgotten. Not too good. As for Adoration, I go as 'moved' and God seems to delight in that, just knowing I've come to be there, I pray, does give Him a little smile, one small "pleasure." I've always been a 'free spirit.' But at any rate, God in His mercy and patience puts up with my "pinball" lifestyle and has in His way, made it work for me. Thanks for stopping by, Nancy. God bless.
Not 100 people in the United States hate the Roman Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly think the Roman Catholic Church is. -- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
I returned to the "First Pre-denominational Church of Christ," (as my husband brilliantly 'dubbed' it) aka: the Catholic Church in Dec. 2004, after my husband told me he wanted to go back to the "faith of his youth." The decision to swim across the Tiber has cost dearly, but has been worth it all! AND we are new grandparents of twin boys this summer, 2010!
