It was so lovely to pray in the Adoration Chapel, which is behind the main Altar of St. Clare of Assisi. The stained glass windows are beautiful--we have St. Joseph, St. Francis, St. Elizabeth with child St. John the Baptist; St. Anne with the child Mary; King David and St. Peter. And up above, there's the pelican, a symbol of Christ, who gives His own self as food.
Despite the torrential rain from Debby, our first 40 hours of prayer in preparation for the Feast of St. Clare of Assisi, in the chapel was able to proceed as planned. She loved Jesus in the Eucharist so I know she's praying along with us to have Perpetual Adoration! Deo gratias!

The Eucharist is Jesus. He has given himself to us in the humble forms of bread and wine. We are blessed.
It always astounds me how humble our Lord is to make Himself dependent upon our priest. When I first became Catholic I wasn't sure I liked the idea of Him being locked up in the Tabernacle, but by and by I accepted that He is a Prisoner of Love.
