Standing here in the presence
Of something more than merely real
There are no words to describe you
Or explain the way I feel
I had the chance to visit Jesus in Adoration this evening. It was fabulous. I think my favorite part of the Adoration experience was during the Rosary being said. We went through the sorrowful mysteries. At one point during the first mystery, it hit me. Here I was complaining about so many little stupid things. Things that were made to seem even more stupid when compared to what Jesus had to experience at the Garden of Gethsemane. (Freaky God moment - As I’m typing this, someone in the other room is praying the rosary with a cd, they just announced the first sorrowful mystery - the Garden of Gethsemane!) At that moment, there are really no words to explain what I experienced. Something between sorrow and thankfulness and self-loathing and wonderfulness and more. I can’t really explain it.
Shortly after this experience, Adoration ended to go into the celebration of the Mass. For the first time in a while, I actually experienced the Mass in it’s fullness. Fully, or at least to my ability, understanding what was actually going on and totally appreciating it and the gift that is Jesus in the Eucharist. Actually wanting the Mass to never end. Praise God!
