[quote name='Dust's Sister' post='1720504' date='Dec 5 2008, 10:08 PM']Adore God, and spend time with Him with the Most Blessed Sacrament. You will be filled with so many Graces. The 7 Virtues actually.... I think I've been blessed with an abundance of them.

1. Faith is belief in the right things (including the virtues!).
2. Hope is taking a positive future view, that good will prevail.
3. Charity is concern for, and active helping of, others.
4. Fortitude is never giving up.
5. Justice is being fair and equitable with others.
6. Prudence is care of and moderation with money.
7. Temperance is moderation of needed things and abstinence from things which are not needed.[/quote]

Prudence not only has to do with money but prudence can also be defined as right reason in action or moral wisdom to discern the good. For example, saying the right thing at the right time.

[b]What spiritual benefits and graces can be attributed to the establishment of a parish Perpetual Adoration program?[/b][list]
[*]an increase in Mass attendance and reception of the sacraments;
[*]return of fallen-away Catholics and increase in the number of conversions;
[*]increase in religions and priestly vocations;
[*]renewal of Catholic family life;
[*]spiritual level of the people is raised with a resulting desire and courage to spread the "good news" to others;
[*]a greater community spirit, centered as it is on the heart of the parish, Jesus' presence in the Blessed Sacrament.
[/list]

[b]How should one go about establishing a Perpetual Adoration program in one's parish?[/b][list]
[*]Pray to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament to obtain this great grace for your parish.
[*]Do everything with the knowledge and permission of the pastor, assuring that it will not involve more work for him. Remember it may be necessary to work alongside the parish council and other parish committees as the pastor advises.
[*]Study the organizational procedures of other parishes with Perpetual Adoration programs. The Franciscan Friars of Marytown will continue in the future to have reports on such programs in their publication.
[*]Interest existing organizations such as the parish council, parish prayer groups, the Holy Name Society, Saint Vincent de Paul Society-- to support the program by supplying leaders who will help organize and run the program.
[/list][/quote]Good information...

There are other videos on YouTube:

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmQ-Kc_1Hdc&feature=related"]this one[/url] doesn't have much in the way of words, but is kinda cool - makes the whole thing look a bit mysterious, though.

While [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnSYBiiyPyw&NR=1"]this one[/url] is more people talking about adoration.

That's a kidnapping that I would consent to--or perhaps the fact that I would be willing would just go against the definition of kidnapping. :detective:

+Praised be Jesus Christ!

Thank you for the reminder. We can never be reminded nor encouraged enough to spend time in the presence of the Lord. I often have a hard time getting myself there, especially with the kids. When I find myself overwhelmed, I stop and remember all the people in the world who are not afforded this privilege. I often go on their behalf.

This is a great practice for Lent...for those, like me, who are still struggling with what to do!

Pax!
