“Without Adoration there is no transformation of the world.” † Pope Benedict XVI What more does Our Beloved Pope Benedict XVI say about the importance of Eucharistic Adoration?  Read on... "The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself," the Pope says to encourage Eucharistic adoration. "Wherever possible, it would be appropriate, especially in densely populated areas, to set aside specific churches or oratories for perpetual adoration," he adds. "I also recommend that, in their catechetical training, and especially in their preparation for First Holy Communion, children be taught the meaning and the beauty of spending time with Jesus, and helped to cultivate a sense of awe before his presence in the Eucharist." "Sacrament of Charity" Based on Work of '05 Synod VATICAN CITY, MARCH 13, 2007 EUCHARISTIC ADORATION MUST BECOME EVER MORE WIDESPREAD VATICAN CITY, NOV 9, 2006 (VIS) “……just how beneficial the rediscovery of Eucharistic adoration by many Christians is. ... How much need modern humanity has to rediscover the source of its hope in the Sacrament of the Eucharist! I thank the Lord because many parishes, alongside the devout celebration of Mass, are educating the faithful in Eucharistic adoration. And it is my hope that - also in view of the next International Eucharistic Congress - this practice will become ever more widespread." APOSTOLIC JOURNEY TO COLOGNE ON THE OCCASION OF THE XX WORLD YOUTH DAY EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI Cologne - Marienfeld Sunday, 21 August 2005 Dear Young Friends, Yesterday evening we came together in the presence of the Sacred Host, in which Jesus becomes for us the bread that sustains and feeds us (cf. Jn 6: 35), and there we began our inner journey of adoration. In the Eucharist, adoration must become union. …….. I like to illustrate this new step urged upon us by the Last Supper by drawing out the different nuances of the word "adoration" in Greek and in Latin. The Greek word is proskynesis. It refers to the gesture of submission, the recognition of God as our true measure, supplying the norm that we choose to follow. It means that freedom is not simply about enjoying life in total autonomy, but rather about living by the measure of truth and goodness, so that we ourselves can become true and good. This gesture is necessary even if initially our yearning for freedom makes us inclined to resist it. We can only fully accept it when we take the second step that the Last Supper proposes to us. The Latin word for adoration is ad-oratio - mouth to mouth contact, a kiss, an embrace, and hence, ultimately love. Submission becomes union, because he to whom we submit is Love. In this way submission acquires a meaning, because it does not impose anything on us from the outside, but liberates us deep within. …….” You can read the entire letter at the Vatican web site.
