We are thus adding to our long-time practice of First Friday Adoration, which will continue as it always has. Adoration allows us to worship Jesus in the silence of our hearts and opens us more and more deeply to his transforming love. St. John Vianney tells the story of a local farmer who had entered into his parish church on his way to the fields one morning to pray, and had become lost in wonder as he sat before the Blessed Sacrament. By the end of the day a neighbor who had seen the man enter the church but never leave it went in and found him still there in prayer. When the neighbor asked what he had been doing all day, the farmer said, "I just look at God, and God looks at me." This seems to me the essence of why the Lord draws us to adore him in the Blessed Sacrament. In our busy, hectic, perplexing lives, we can simply look at the Lord, be present to him, know that he is there, offer him our joys and fears, our hopes and disappointments. And we know that he is listening, know that in the silence of his presence we are being healed, comforted, strengthened by the one who feeds us with his own very same body every time we receive communion at Mass. There is enormous spiritual power in worshipping, praying before Christ in this way, for the church and for the world. We have only to remember Pope Francis' call a few months ago for churches around the world to spend an hour in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament for peace in Syria and the Middle East--and that soon after, the threat of war with Syria ended. The power of this kind of prayer is both very personal, and also world-changing. I encourage all of us to take advantage of praying before the Blessed Sacrament on Thursdays and First Fridays. Whether it is a regular hour each week, an occasional visit, or even just a few minutes on the way home from work, I guarantee that spending time in Adoration of our Lord will bring a freedom and wholeness, a peace and joy that is unique, even as it strengthens us to be witnesses to Jesus Christ in the world.
