| Bathed in Christ
I'm Justin, a 17 year old student, at the moment in the middle
of year 12.
Studying is hard work but my priority is always getting to Adoration
on a
Thursday night. I just can't miss an oppurtunity to spend time
with Jesus.
When I first discovered Adoration, I thought it'd be one of things
you go to
every now and then, but after a few times of spending time with
the Lord, I
realised I can't do without it.
I need Him in my life. I need to spend quiet
time with Him in prayer and
adoration every week. People say, "Big deal, I spend time
with Christ in
prayer at home. He's everywhere isn't he?" True, but when
your in the
presence of the Blessed Sacrament you can feel Him alive in front
of you and
in all the other people gathered in prayer. You are "transformed".
Holy hour on a Thursday is what keeps me going.
It's sort of like my
weekly bath. Say at the start of the week, everythings great and
the bath is
full of water. By Wednesday, things aren't too great, I'm having
a bad week -
the bath is almost empty. Thursday nights(adoration) makes me
feel great and I'm back where i want to be. In other words, the
bath is so full, its
overflowing!
Adoration is a huge blessing in my life.
It just gives you a chance to stop
and pray with Jesus right there in front of you and believe me,
it changes
you. He changes you.
