40 Hours Devotion.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

This week from Thursday 10th until Saturday 12th, the 40 Hours Devotion (Quarant’ Ore) will take place in this parish.  For a number of weeks, the parish has been being prepared for this great act of worship and adoration of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, truly present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar and the homilies of August, focussed as they were on the Gospel of St. John, Chapter 6 have helped us to strengthen our belief in Christ truly present in the tabernacle.  Now the time has come for us to show our belief in and love of God’s great gift of Himself. As the late Pope John Paul II said

“The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship.  Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love.  Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offences and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease.” JPII Dominicae cenae 3.
