Fr. Kelly: Eucharistic Revival Tip #2: Jesus is King of the Universe!
For this week’s ‘Eucharistic Revival Tip,’ we focus on Christ as ‘King of the Universe,’ Who deserves all of our love and adoration because of Who He is and what He has done for us! Our Divine King has made Himself truly present in the great gift of the Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, truly present in our tabernacles. So, when we are in the presence of the King in His palace that is the church, how do we think, act, dress, etc.? Some good thoughts to ponder in this week’s tip:
“We are called to adore Jesus Christ in the Eucharist:
I encourage you, during this New Year, to commit to making more frequent visits to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Your visits do not have to be long…even if for 5 minutes! And if the church is locked, you are welcome to come stand at the door or remain in your car and offer some prayers of love and adoration for our Eucharistic King, truly present in the tabernacle!

So, when we are in the presence of the King in His palace that is the church, how do we think, act, dress, etc.? Some good thoughts to ponder in this week’s tip:
“We are called to adore Jesus Christ in the Eucharist:
- The real presence of Jesus Christ, the Divine King, is in His Church and in the Eucharist (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1088, 1373).
- In the Mass, men are given a foretaste of the Kingdom of Heaven (CCC 2770).
- “Adoration is the first attitude of man…[and] homage of the spirit to the ‘King of Glory’ is a necessity…” (CCC 2628).
- “The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the Eucharist the cult of adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it…” (CCC 1378).
I encourage you, during this New Year, to commit to making more frequent visits to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Your visits do not have to be long…even if for 5 minutes! And if the church is locked, you are welcome to come stand at the door or remain in your car and offer some prayers of love and adoration for our Eucharistic King, truly present in the tabernacle!
