Description
"Eucharistic Adoration" provides Catholics who pray before the Real Presence with a new and unique resource to deepen their adoration experience and do so within the Franciscan tradition. Each of 52 reflections for eucharistic adoration one for each week of the year features four parts that address the spiritual advice of St. Clare to gaze, consider, contemplate, and imitate Christ. Each reflection encourages us to: Gaze upon Christ using a quote from a Franciscan source, primarily the letters of Clare of Assisi, but also the writings of St. Francis; Consider Christ using a brief reflection of 150 words that will inspire you to reverence the Real Presence, the Body and Blood of Christ; Contemplate Christ by praying a few lines that help you go deeply into the spiritual experience of adoration; Imitate Christ in your daily life with a challenge to act like Christ after time spent in adoration. This unique prayer resource taps the spiritual wisdom and Franciscan prayer tradition of the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, whose members contributed to this book. Paperback, 112 pages.
