"I hope that the fruit of this Congress results in the establishment of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in all parishes and Christian communities throughout the world."-- Pope John Paul II (1993)
We of the Washington Catholic Community, under the direction of our pastor, Father Gordon Mann, are helping to realize the dream of Pope John Paull II. The Holy Father said that our communal worship at Mass must go together with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration in order that our love may be complete.
May our adoration never cease...
Pope John Paul II tells us in Dominicae Cenae:
"Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease."
And that is what Perpetual Adoration is: adoration that never ceases!
