adoration.

I spent some time in Adoration last night. It had been a few weeks since I'd had a good opportunity to do so, for various reasons. Those reasons don't really matter; the simple fact is that it had been too long.

Last week, a friend related a little meditation to me, that had originally been related to him by one of his friends who lives in Ohio, and whom he termed a "living saint." This evening, I thought I'd share it with all of you. (Caveat: this following will make sense to you if you're Catholic, otherwise, probably not so much...)

Have you ever noticed how the full moon resembles the Eucharist - the consecrated Host? Think about that... now think about this. We cannot look directly at the sun without injuring ourselves - but we can look at the gentle light of the moon - and this is how Christ comes to us in the Eucharist - flooding our lives with his light, the way moonlight floods the surface of the earth under a full moon.

Awesome, right? I thought so. And I think that's what Adoration is really all about - being flooded with the light of Christ, present in the Eucharist... illumining our darknesses, driving out our demons... "most high and glorious God, illumine the darkness of my heart." (St. Francis of Assisi)

+Peace and good.
