Brother Knights,
It seems like there is so much negativity in the news these days. I get so tired of hearing about the political battling, rising crime, cost of living. I’m writing this as I prepare to head over to my Adoration slot at 11pm. Praise God for the gift of his Blessed Son Jesus and the ability to spend time with the Blessed sacrament. At first, I was hesitant about committing to a timeslot, every week, late at night, going forward. Like many of us, we don’t like to be tied down to, or committed to, an obligation like this. We all prefer to wait and “see how it goes”. Maybe someone else will step in so I am no longer needed. We don’t commit until the last minute, if at all. This was not easy for me either. However, as I soon discovered, I need this time with Jesus. This is my “reset” from all the secular attacks that we see every day. I would say it is more like “recharging my electric vehicle” than filling my tank with gas. If you do not have a slot yet, please consider it. When I checked this past Sunday, there were about 8 slots with no adorers. You will not regret it.
