The mere fact that you take time out at a specific time each week to spend an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament pleases Him very much and is in itself a prayer of great faith. To draw attention to the fact that the parish has established the constant vigil, a special Mass and eucharistic procession were held on April 29. With Christian Women serving as honor guards, and escorted by Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus, the Blessed. Sacrament was moved from the church to the Villa Chapel where residents joined in Benediction and the rosary. It is important to publically proclaim that Jesus is Our Lord and personal savior in perpetual adoration, Said Father Brenny.
Prayer time strengthens the chords of love.
In addition to Kummet and Boser, the prayer committee includes Jan Kimman, Addie Henry, Herb Stumpf, Ann Lochner, Bertie Solinger and Carol Posch, liaison for the Buckman group. Anybody interested in spending time in prayer may contact any of them for more information or to schedule an hour. Many of us who cover night hours find that it is the one time of day we know we will be home, noted Kummet. Sometimes it s far easier to make a commitment to a night hour than to try and clear the time during the day. In 1981, Pope John Paul II himself initiated the practice of perpetual adoration in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel of St. Peter s Bascilica, Rome.
