- "How do we grow in a deeper love of Jesus Christ in the Blessed
Sacrament? By taking every opportunity of being in His Eucharistic Presence
during the day and, shall I add, into the night."

greatest need in the world today is the practice of prayer before the
Blessed Sacrament...there is no greater profession of faith than during
prayer before the Holy Eucharist...the single most powerful means on earth
for the conversion of America is for Catholic Americans to mobilize a
crusade of prayer before the Eucharist for the conversion of our nation."

hour...once a week."

- "It is impossible in human terms to exaggerate the importance of being in
(Adoration) as often and for as long as our duties and state of life allow.
I very seldom repeat what I say. Let me repeat this sentence. It is
impossible in human language to exaggerate the importance of being in
(Adoration) as often and for as long as our duties and state of life allow.
That sentence is the talisman of the highest sanctity."
(Hardon, "The Value of Eucharistic Adoration".)

Adoration."

the great saints who were devoted to the Holy Eucharist."

faculties of the spirit - the Mind and the Will. In the Mind we need light; in

- "We should build the whole edifice of our spiritual life around Adoration. We should
not hesitate to ask Him to work miracles, now, as He did in Palestine."

to him in Adoration and confidently beg him to give us the graces that we so desperately
need."
(Hardon, "The Value of Eucharistic Adoration".)
- "Jesus asked, 'Who touched me? I felt the power going out from Me'. In the
same way, because Christ is present on the earth in the Eucharist, He radiates
grace. Grace emanates from Him - grace goes out from Him."
(Hardon, "The Value of Eucharistic Adoration".)
- "There is no greater profession of faith possible for a human being to make here on
earth than during prayer before the Holy Eucharist; so we ask, why
should prayer before Christ in the Blessed Sacrament be so powerful in
obtaining miracles of conversion-- is because it is prayer rising from
faith in the cardinal mystery of Christianity.
