Saint Mary’s has Perpetual Adoration in Saint Joseph’s Chapel

Jesus waits for you in the Blessed Sacrament ~ Let your heart be moved by Him!

He waits to see you and longs for your friendship. Spending time with Him in Adoration not only radiates grace to the world and gives life to your soul, but it gives His heart joy! He waits to hear your needs and concerns. Jesus wants to hear about what’s important to you. Confidently bring it to Him in prayer. Talk to Him as your best friend. He cares about you! He waits to encounter your love and is present in the Eucharist and in every person you meet. Reach out each day with acts of kindness to others. It transforms hearts and helps others tangibly experience the goodness of God! Pray to Him daily. Visit Jesus in the tabernacle and Eucharistic Adoration. Let your heart be moved by Him!

There is a new addition to St. Joseph Chapel!  As you enter the Chapel, you will notice posters of Eucharistic Miracles.  Please take a moment and check out these extraordinary miracles.  Periodically the posters will be changed to introduce you to the various miracles.

Wisdom of God in the Lives of the Saints

by Fr. Dominic

What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What ought I do for Christ? -St Stanislaus Kostka

These questions help us to have a fruitful daily examination of our relationship with Christ. The first two questions are set within the context of the third question. We ought to know what is asked of us and then see whether or not we are conforming our ways to His. For example, Christ said to his disciples, “You shall love the Lord your God with you whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind” (Mt. 22:37), and “If you love me, keep my commandments” (Jn 14:15). On the one hand, we are commanded to love God above all things. On the other hand, loving God does not mean doing whatever pleases us, but rather it is holding fast to the commandments and living them out. Once this is understood, we now have to ask ourselves if our past actions have lived up to the will of God or if they have fallen short? If we have not done well in loving God and keeping His ways, have we repented of our sinful past lives and turned back to Him and walked in the Truth? The third question “what ought I do for Christ?” requires a real, concrete and affirmative action. Our hearts and minds ought to be of one accord. It is not enough to think that we love Christ when our heart is far from loving Him. If we wish to be His disciples then we have to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him (Mt. 16:24). Knowing the “ought” will hopefully help us to correct the past vices and pave a virtuous path for the present so that our love for Jesus is truly authentic, rooted in reality. May we seek to know what we ought to do for Christ and have the strength to do it well out of great love for Him.
