tif) The Ascension of the Lord Living Faith in May: Luke 24:46-53 God mounts his throne to shouts of joy *How does knowing and believing in Gods love make a difference in your life? *How do you joyfully share the good news of the salvation of Jesus Christ? *How could you share Gods love with someone in need or lonely this week? 322 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. Our Eucharistic worship is founded upon the truth of Jesus divinity. It is Jesus divine presence in the Eucharist that demands and necessitates our worship of Him. We adore, praise and honor Him within the Eucharist because we believe that the One before us is truly the eternal Son of the Father. Thus, within our Eucharistic adoration, we encounter the divine Son, and so are united to Him in our adoration of Him. Please consider making a Holy Hour, contact Judy Soltis at 330-212-0926.
