Unfortunately our chapel is only open 2 days a week. It once was a chapel opened, like yours, 24/7 but it was not being sustained.<BR/><BR/>Your quote: "This intimacy doesn’t just happen, it takes time and effort.<BR/>As it grows, it becomes so powerful"<BR/><BR/>How true it is. I found adoration 11 years ago and I know, at first, it was hard to concentrate on prayers, and I can find myself even today being preoccupied with the day's events. It is a growth in prayer and a discipline that is peaceful and fulfilling. <BR/><BR/>Your parishioners are VERY fortunate to have St. Clare's Chapel. I once heard it said (possibly on EWTN) that parishes with Adoration chapels are the ones that thrive. May God continue to bless your parishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
