Adoration : eucharistic texts and prayers throughout church history
This work is offered for those seeking to enhance time spent before the Blessed Sacrament and for those seeking a good preparation for a full and active participation in the Liturgy. The inexhaustible depths of the Sacrament and the Liturgy have fascinated and inspired Catholics since the Last Supper. In our own times there is a renewed interest in the practice of Eucharistic Adoration. A new generation finds itself hungry for the Bread of Life and drawn to give the Lord thanks and adoration. As Vatican II exhorts, people are called to enjoy Christ's "intimate friendship and pour out their hearts before him for themselves and for their dear ones, and pray for the peace and salvation of the world"
