Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration

Twelve reasons from Scripture for wanting to spend one hour each week with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. 

1.  He is really there!  "I Myself am the Living Bread come down from Heaven." (Jn 6:35) 

2.  Day and night Jesus dwells on the Blessed Sacrament because of His infinite love for you!  "Behold I will be with you always even to the end of the world," because "I have loved you with an everlasting love, and constant is My affection for you." (Mt 28:20, Jer 31:3) 

3.  The specific way that Jesus asks you to love Him in return is to spend one quiet hour with Him each week in the Blessed Sacrament.  "Where your treasure is, there is your heart..."  "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" (Mt 6:21, 26:40) 

4.  When you look upon the Sacred Host, you look upon Jesus, the Son of God.  "Indeed, this is the will of My Father, that everyone who looks upon the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life.  Him will I raise up on the last day'" (Jn 6:40) 

5.  Each moment that you spend in His Eucharistic Presence will increase His Divine Life within you and deepen your personal relationship and friendship with Him.  "I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly."  I am the Vine and you are the branches.  Whoever remains in union with Me shall bear much fruit for without Me, you can do nothing." (Jn 10:10, 15:5) 

6.  Each hour you spend with Jesus will deepen His Divine Peace within your heart.  "Come to Me all of you who are weary and find  life burdensome and I will refresh you..."  "Cast all of your anxieties upon the Lord, who cares for you." (Mt 11:28, ! Pt 5:7, Jn 14:17) 

7.  Jesus will give you all the graces you need to be happy in life. "The Lamb on the throne will shepherd them.  He will lead them to springs of living water." (Rev 7:17) 

8.  Jesus is infinitely deserving of our unceasing thanksgiving and adoration for all He has done for our salvation.  "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor, glory and praise." (Rev 5:12) 

9.  For peace in our country! "When My people humble themselves and seek My Presence, I will receive their land." (2 Ch 7:14) 

10. Each hour you spend with Jesus on earth will leave your soul everlastingly more beautiful and glorious in Heaven.  "They who humble themselves shall be exalted..."  "All of us , gazing on the Lord's glory with unveiled faces are being  transformed from glory to glory into His very image." (Lk 18:14, Cor 3:18) 

11. Jesus will bless you, your family and the whole world for this hour of faith you spend with Him in the Blessed Sacrament.  "Blessed are they who do not see and yet believe.."  "Faith can move mountains..."  "What is needed is trust..."  "Behold I come to make all things new" (Jn 20:29, Mk 11:23, Mk 5:36, Rev 21:5) 

12. Each moment you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament brings joy, pleasure and delight to His Sacred Heart!  My joy, My pleasure, My delight is to be with you." (Prov 8:31)
