+ We Are All Called to be Holy

As Catholics, we should know there is nothing more Charitable than bringing souls to Jesus. This should be the mission of our lives. Jesus calls us to be holy because the holier we become, the more souls we will save. Spending more time in Eucharistic Adoration will make us holier. Becoming holier will make us want to bring others into the Physical Pression of JEsus in the Blessage sacrament. This is a tremendous undertaking of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.

Eucharistic Adoration with Exposition does exactly that. En masse. Not only does it bring those who commit to scheduled holy hours closer to Jesus, but numerous other souls come to the Chapel to spend time with Jesus and then Jesus works wonders in their lives.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration takes incredible Unity because the chapel must be attended to hour after hour, day after day, week after week, like the guards at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, perpetually.

We arll have a Fraternal responsibility to help our brothers grow in holiness. Although in our busy lives this responsibility can be neglected, as active work takes our time and energy.

Eucharistic Adoration is Patriotic. It will not only transform those of us who participate, it will transform others, it will transform our parishes, it will transform our diocese, our country, our world.

While the requirement itself is very easy to understand, i.e. every hour must have at least one, preferably two or more adorers committed to attend their scheduled weekly hours, participation cannot and should not be forced. People need to be spiritually willing to take on such a grace-filled undertaking. Establishment however would not be limited to those we know, as many others will participate being inspired by the leadership of those who take on the effort. Even though every parish has the manpower numbers to support 24/7 Adoration right now it will require a unified personal commitment at a level often not yet experienced.

As such the call to grow in holiness should be our starting point. Nothing can be forced but we must provide an avenue to share our faith and inspire each other to holiness. For Practical Catholics the Eucharist is The Source and Summit of our faith.

So, we should make the "Call to be Holy” (1 Pet 1:15) a priority in our lives.

Ultimately the results will be the united Catholics calling for Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration a reality not just for us personally but in our diocese, our country, and the world.

All heaven will rejoice when the importance of formal, perpetual, Eucharistic Adoration becomes commonly realized.. Amen!

+ Soul of the Apostolate: A Must Read Book

In The Soul of the Apostolate by Jean-Baptiste Chautard, a book recommended by a number of spiritual organizations to their members, the author places a strong emphasis on the interior life of prayer as the foundation for any external apostolic work. He argues that without a deep, disciplined life of prayer, any external activity will be spiritually fruitless and ineffective.

Key Points from Chautard’s Teaching:

Primacy of the Interior Life: Chautard stresses that the interior life—the life of prayer, contemplation, and union with God—is more important than external works. He believes that apostolic efforts without a solid interior foundation risk becoming mere activism, lacking spiritual power.
Prayer as Labor: Chautard acknowledges that maintaining a vibrant prayer life is hard work. He draws attention to the effort, perseverance, and discipline required to sustain a life of prayer, especially for those engaged in active ministry. He warns against neglecting prayer in favor of external works, as this will lead to burnout and spiritual dryness.
Active Life Rooted in Contemplation: For Chautard, external works (apostolate) must flow from an interior life rooted in prayer. He illustrates that, like a tree drawing life from its roots, a person must draw spiritual strength from God through prayer to produce good fruit in their apostolic activities. Without this grounding, any outward work will be hollow.
Balance of Action and Contemplation: Chautard refers to the example of great saints who combined intense prayer with active ministry, showing that the two are not opposed but complementary. He advocates for a proper balance, where prayer feeds action, and action leads back to deeper prayer.
Prayer as Essential for True Success: According to Chautard, true success in apostolic work doesn’t come from human effort alone but from grace, which is obtained through prayer. He teaches that those involved in ministry must prioritize their own relationship with God to be effective instruments of His will.

Summary:

In The Soul of the Apostolate, Chautard teaches that prayer is not only essential but hard work, requiring dedication and perseverance. He insists that the interior life of prayer is the source of all apostolic fruitfulness, and without it, external works will be spiritually empty. True apostolic success is found when action flows from a deep, disciplined, and prayerful union with God. Therefore, Chautard calls for a balance between contemplation and action, with a focus on the primacy of the interior life.

St Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows
on the Importance of Eucharistic Adoration

"Oh, the delights that are experienced in one
hour of meditation in the presence of Jesus in
the Blessed Sacrament, and of Mary, His most
Holy Mother, are incomparably greater than
those found in whole evenings spent at
theaters, in brilliantly lit salons, in amusements
and conversations, all of them, things which
cannot satisfy our hearts.”

Letter to his Father.

Please remember St Gabriel came from a very affluent family. He had available to him all the comforts and amusements money could buy,

Comments from a Companion

"We also observed in him a tender devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. He was truly enamored of Christ in the Eucharist. Frequently, he spoke to his companions of his sacramental Lord with an emotion and vivacity so intense that he aroused the enthusiasm of those who listened to him. To Christ in the tabernacle his thoughts instinctively turned, and all the impulses of his heart impelled him to go before the altar to pour out his affections. Many times, in the day and night, he would send his angel guardian to visit the Blessed Sacrament when his occupations would not permit him to do so in person. And sometimes he would tell his angel to go to the place where Christ was most lonely and forgotten, there to adore and keep vigil with Him.
When out for a walk, if we entered a church, his first thought was to look for the altar of the Blessed Sacrament, and then to kneel before it in silent adoration. He became all affected and moved when he spoke of the coldness with which so many receive the Holy Eucharist, and of the outrages, profanations and sacrileges committed against It by unbelievers and even by bad Christians. From these insults offered to Jesus he took occasion to admire His patience and mercy; and he would redouble his efforts to make reparation as far as he could.

Frequent spiritual communion was one of his favorite practices, and he recommended it earnestly to his classmates, saying: €In the hour of death we can say to Jesus: I have welcomed You, dear Lord, so often into my poor heart. Now You must welcome me to paradise with You, I have often seen him prostrate himself before the tabernacle when he thought no one was near, and pour out all his soul before the Sacramental Christ. At other times, he would become so rapt in adoration during his visits that we had to shake him in order to remind him that it was time to discharge the other duties of our student life.
