​Why is Adoration so Important?

He burns with the desire to come into your heart..."

​TESTIMONY FROM A STUDENT

​College students from all over the Bloomington-Normal area have received countless blessings from the love that is at the heart of St. John Paul II Catholic Newman Center. I was able to witness this love through Mass, Confession, and the Koinonia retreat at the center; but, for me, the most powerful way I experienced this love was through Eucharistic Adoration. There are so many distractions being thrown at us that prevent us from hearing God. Taking the time to be silent and fully present in His love and mercy through adoration makes hearing what He has to say to us a lot easier. As St. Theresa of Calcutta said, "If we really want to pray, we must first learn to listen: for in the silence of the heart, God speaks." No matter what was going on that week, I always walked away from my time in adoration with an indescribable sense of love and peace. As busy as we are as college students, I would encourage everyone to make the time to sign up for a Holy Hour. Jesus gives us everything 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I promise that if you give Him this one hour a week, you will not regret it :) God Bless! Megan
