The Gift of Being
In His Presence
The baby in the manger and a man on a cross are easy to recognize, but they are only images of Jesus. The one who is in the monstrance is not an image. It is not a representation. It is HIM! - His true presence, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity!
During Adoration you are with Him no less than Peter, James and John were in the garden. Like Peter, James and John, the more time you spend with Him, the more He will open your eyes and your heart to the reality of His love, deepening your love for Him and for others. He gives you the courage to cope with your natural fears, the power to undergo difficult trials and the ability to undertake great things for the sake of His name.
