During Solemn Eucharistic Exposition the consecrated Host is solemnly exposed on the main altar of the of the church in a sacred vessel called a monstrance. Since the Last Supper, when Jesus broke the bread and shared the Cup saying, “This is my body” and “This is my Blood,” Catholics have believed that the bread and wine are no longer merely baked wheat and fermented grape juice, but the actual living presence of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ! Eucharistic adoration and exposition is meant to supplement a person’s regular reception of Holy Communion during Sunday Mass and is really all about falling in love with Jesus and allowing God to love us as we adore His Eucharistic presence. Spending time in prayer before the exposed Blessed Sacrament allows us to see God face to face and Jesus speaks to our hearts in a most powerful way. God wants to pour His divine love into your heart and adoration is the perfect way to experience Jesus’ presence in your life. May God speak to your heart in a powerful way.
