EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

 

“The Birth of Jesus at Bethlehem is not an event which can be consigned to the past.  The whole human history in fact stands in reference to HIM: our own time and the future of the world are illumined by HIS Presence.  HE is the living One, WHO IS, WHO WAS AND WHO IS TO COME.”  (Pope Paul II)
