Eucharist Adoration

The beautiful season of Advent and Christmas is here. We should have a longing in our hearts for Christ coming into the world in the stable at Bethlehem. When we were children this time of anticipation was filled with good feelings of family, friends and joy. School plays portrayed the birth of Christ and the adoration of the Magi. I have often wondered as a child what encouraged these wise men to make so long of a journey to adore the Christ Child. It is said that they traveled over three months to see and adore Christ. I realize now that it was the guiding star of their faith that brought them to Bethlehem. Our Adoration Chapel in Destrehan has been open for over 26 yrs. We are still in need of adorers to fill the weekly hours. Ideally there should be two people per hour. We have many hours with only one adorer. What is your guiding star that brings you to Jesus? Is it your faith? Is it loneliness? Is it sickness? Financial burdens, family problems, Is it your deep love for Jesus that the Magi had? We don’t have to travel as far or inconvenience ourselves as the Magi did. Our beautiful chapel in Destrehan is open and waiting for the shining star of your faith to come visit and adore. Please consider committing one hour a week during this beautiful season. You will not be disappointed, neither were the Magi.
