40 Days for Life Eucharistic Adoration

Praised be Jesus Christ!

This morning, after the 8:00am daily mass, our parish started a 24-hour Eucharistic Adoration as part of the 40 Days for Life campaign. The youth group was asked to lead a directed hour of adoration from 7:00pm – 8:00pm; we started off by singing Remnant Band’s version of the Divine Mercy Chaplet, then read Psalm 57, then entered a 20-minute period of silence, followed by singing the song “Breathe.” The service was absolutely beautiful – the spirit was present, God was watching, and Christ was with us. One of the most amazing parts of our Catholic faith is the Eucharist and how more glorious of a way to celebrate that than through Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament!?!

We post a lot of different things here – what we do, pictures for our family and friends, our personal travels, and outings with the youth group – but we’d be remiss if we never spoke of the most important thing in our lives. It’s in our title, “Called to Connecticut.” It’s why we are here. It’s why we are called to youth ministry. It’s what we experienced tonight. Immanuel. God with us.

Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever more!
