Spending a full hour in the Presence of Christ, being encompassed by the Kairos ripe with the Mystery of the Eucharistic Lord is beyond words... That is why I took time to explain to the congregation an importance of silence in the adoration. Yes, common prayers and songs are very important as they stimulate our awareness of the Mystery and help us to approach its gates, but only through silence we can enter. The key to the Mystery of the Presence is silence... The Eucharist is Silence of the Present and Incarnated Love and Mercy. Our participation in the Mystery should be the same - in silence of our presence by the Lord...
I returned home filled with silence and in acute need of more silence in my life... And my heart is somehow at peace that I committed all our efforts and preparations to the Lord, asking Him to fill the void, gaps and whatever is missing and lacking...This is all I can do...
I understood that because the very first point in our program of the peregrination of the Cross in the parish was the Holy Hour this evening, the Lord gave us a strong hint that the Eucharistic adoration should be the most important point in our spirituality. The adoration in silence filled with awe, love and hope... The Lord is here! Silence your heart and mind, open up to Him, hear His voice in your conscience... No need to talk, we should only listen and allow Him to have a look into us and see what is wrong with us, what is okey and what needs His action...
As one of my favorite passages from the Book of Psalms teaches us:
"Find your delight in the LORD who will give you your heart's desire.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust that God will act
And make your integrity shine like the dawn, your vindication like noonday.
Be still before the LORD; wait for God." (Ps 37:4-7a)
