Adoration at Christ the King is offered each 1st Friday of the Month.  At the conclusion of our 6:30 AM Mass, Fr. Kim exposes the Blessed Sacrament for 24 hours of Adoration.  This time of important prayer and spiritual communion with our Lord culminates at 8 AM Saturday morning with Benediction and reposition of the Blessed Sacrament, immediately followed by the celebration of Mass.  You are needed for this important ministry.  Each hour of the day and night are open for you to sign up and sit with Jesus in the Holy Sacrament.  Please contact Donna Gelner at our home office, or sign in on the Eucharistic Adoration sign-up board which is always in the Narthex of the Church on Sundays prior to 1st Fridays. 


If you have a really good friend, or if you are married, then you know what it takes to be in a relationship with someone. Two of the most important things you can do to deepen your friendship is to spend time together and to talk with each other frequently. The best friend and the love of our souls is Jesus Christ. Yet many of us suffer from a feeling that we don't really know who Jesus is, or we don't feel like we have a personal relationship with Him. Jesus is more like a figure from a history book to us, or some mysterious God-man who we know we have obligations to, yet we don't really feel anything in our hearts towards Him. Adoration: The Answer to Deepening our Relationship With Christ The solution to this personal struggle is to deepen your relationship with Jesus. Just as you would with any human friend or your spouse, you have to make a decided effort to get to know Him better. You have to spend time with Him, and speak with Him often. In other words, you need to spend time in prayer. Eucharistic Adoration is the best way we have on this earth to spend a long time in quiet conversation with Jesus. You'll recall that just before Jesus physically left the apostles and ascended to the Father, he reassured them, "And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." (Matthew 28:20) This statement is fulfilled in the reality of Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist, in the hands of the priest at Mass each day, reserved in the tabernacles in the heart of our churches, and right before our very eyes in Eucharistic Adoration.
