Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
Since a Holy Hour in the Sacred Heart Perpetual Adoration Chapel is a daily part of my life, I can't help but think about this wonderful opportunity that I and our parishioners have to be close to and grow in the Lord through time spent with Him.  No matter what is happening or is about to happen in my life, I find the Lord bringing me His peace and the confidence of receiving His love and mercy while I am with Him wherever I go.

I think it is important for you to hear what a blessing the Chapel and the time I spend in the Chapel is to me, and perhaps we can ask other Adorers to give their own testimony for you to read in the bulletin or on our website in the future.  It is also important that we regularly invite those of you who are not once-a-week, hourly Adorers to join us in this spiritual activity, so that you can experience more blessings in your life as a result of this special time with the Lord.

It is a reality that in the now FIVE PLUS YEARS we have had Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, we have had quite a few who have been committed as a regular or substitute the whole five years.  THANKS BE TO GOD for you!  We, sadly, have also had and will continue to have, people who drop out for a variety of reasons (i.e., sickness, relocation, death) and we need new people joining our ranks on a continual basis.

Please consider joining us in Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, and ask a fellow parishioner who is doing this ministry why they do it.  Also, I ask our current Adorers to take the initiative to encourage some of your friends in the parish to join us as an Adorer.

Please read the bulletin to see where we have hours that need to be covered and call Tom Donnelly (915-0880) to get more information and/or to sign up.  If you have a time of the week and day that works best for you, commit to that time and join someone who is already present at that time (who, hopefully, could cover the hour if you are sick or have to be out of town).

There's a song that goes "Jesus we adore You, lay our live before You, how we love You."  Please join the chorus of people in our parish who hopefully echo this in their lives as Adorers of Jesus in our beautiful Eucharistic Chapel!
