Immaculata Publishing is now making its Corpus Christ Newsletter available to local parishioners at Immaculate Conception Parish in Union, Mo. by door-to-door visitations of the parish family.

When I place my trust in God and spend time with Him in adoration it soothes the soul. His presence is deep and lasting and refreshes more than any joy I can conceive. Why? Because he made us and we belong to Him. Even the Psalmist says this:

"Where can I go from your presence? If I climb the heavens you are there. If I go to the depths of the sea you are there. You know when I sit and when I stand." [Ps. 139:+]

But, we say, this is today? No, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love.' Can we conceive of an everlasting love. I mean a love that has no end; that had no beginning-FOR US, SINNERS ALL! Welcome to Jesus Christ! AND Welcome to Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Christ instituted this sacrament on the last supper for our good and he as the Faithful Witness of God's Love remains with us.

We adore you O Christ and we bless you , because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world. Even when evil grasps us, we are free. WE know it: 'The truth will set you free.' What is this truth? 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.'

So I enjoy my tabernacle visits here at Immaculate Conception. I enjoy coming into his presence and adoring him every Tuesday for the whole parish after the children's litury to 7:30 p.m. or daily when I have a chanve.

Also as an extension of this adoration it is a blessing to share with others in the parish about the presence of God in the Eucharist.

The Lord Jesus Knows how to speak to ou rhearts in the liturgy. Today it became very clear to me that I can't justify my existence before God. Today it became clear to me that to be at the liturgy is an unparalleled gift of grace. Today it became clear to me that I have nothing to rely upon but God and grace. It is a gift because it comes from He who needs nothing. It is a gift because we have to receive it freely; it doesn't force Himself. A gift can only be given to someone who doesn't or hasn't earned it. A gift is something that no one can take advantage of; it is a gift. A gift has to be appreciated; mos to of all, the GIVER.
