Hanging out with Jesus

One of the best ways to talk to God is in Adoration. When you go to Adoration you get to be in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist!


As you know, Jesus comes to us in the bread when we go to Communion. We don't eat the bread at Adoration, instead we sit before the bread/Jesus and talk to Jesus. We also sit with Jesus and adore God the Father with Him.

 

Hey Cloë don't we have an Adoration Chapel here in Cornwall? Our master takes us sometimes when she goes on Saturday mornings.

That's right Tallulah, though we wait outside for her.

The Diocese's Adoration Chapel is located behind St. Peter's Church at the corner of Second St. E and Campbell (in Cornwall). It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and everyone is welcome to come.

 
 Does that mean someone could go at 3:00 a.m.?!?


Yup!

So the reason we are talking about Adoration today, is because it is the feast day of St. Peter Julian Eymard, who our chapel is named after.



One of St. Julian's greatest loves was Eucharistic Adoration. He loved it so much that he spent much of his life as a priest promoting Eucharistic Adoration.

Adoration is for everyone, including little kids! Here are two websites about Adoration especially for children.

 
 
 
 
 
Here is a picture of St. Julian that you can download and colour!
 
Does anyone know what you call the "holder" that contains Jesus in the bread? St. Julian is holding one? Let us know in the comments section.
 
I do Cloë! but I'm not going to say.
 
Well that's it for today. Woof!
 
Cloë and Tallulah
 
P.S. Most of our parishes have Eucharistic Adoration once a month. Many parishes choose the first Friday of the month. Ask your priest when your parish has Eucharistic Adoration, he would be very happy to see you there.
