We do not charge money to those we serve.  The chapels, the dioceses, the Eucharistic minsitries, will never be asked to pay any money to Adoration Servants.  I wish I could say we took St Martin of Tours as our guide, who when he saw one in need, gave what he had.  In some ways that is true but there is some selfishness as well.  We love our Lord in the Eucharist and we want to see others love Him as well.  If we could have done a better job than the many other organizations who also love our Eucharistic Lord maybe in our selfishness we would have done so.  But we know we cannot.

 

We are trying to make use of the talents the Lord gave us so that we may be good and faithful servants (Mat 25:14-30 & Luk 19:12-28). 

 

But even that sounds too good.  When the founder of Adoration Servants was first approached to develop this Eucharist Adoration Management System he scoffed and claimed his decades of system development experience told him to not even try, and he felt good saying so.  It was not until he was asked by his own pastor to take over managment of the local Perpetual Adoration, not until after he accepted and then saw how so very much work there was, that he developed this system, to save his own time.

 

Afterwards as it became obvious what a great help the system was did he begin to try and sell people on the tools.  Not "sell" for money but "sell" meaning "convice." It was the story told him by a wonderful old nun he had the blessing to take to the airport one day that he learned Jesus does not need him, or his great Adoration system, but He loves that the effort was made.  Now just dont let pride take over.  After that, once the selling stopped, chapels found the system.

 

So talents have been made use of.  Hundreds & hundreds of development hours have been put into the system and thousands of dollars as well but only as the hours could be made available and the dollars spared.  It has been a blessing but the chapels want more and there is so much more that can be done. 

 

Now it seems as Paul tells us (1 Cor 12:28) we all have been appointed various activities and duties.  Not everyone does the same thing.  Not everyone can give the same gifts.  Adoration Servants has skillsets that are needed by those really promoting and managing Eucharistic Adoration.  But our skillsets are mostly technical.  There are others with the talents we ask for in the Volunteers section of this site.  Maybe some have the writing skills to make these words better.  Others can help with the programming.  Other have money that can make it happen by Donating money.
