Eucharistic adoration is the act of worshiping God as he is present in the consecrated Eucharist.⁣
⁣
Since the Last Supper, when Jesus broke the bread and distributed the wine, saying, "This is my body" and "This is my blood," Catholics have believed that the bread and wine are no longer merely baked wheat and fermented grape juice, but the actual living presence of the Second Person of the Trinity.⁣
⁣
Spending time before the Blessed Sacrament, in prayer and devotion, is exactly the same as spending time before the living God. What an incredible reality! Adoration occurs whenever someone kneels in front of a tabernacle that contains the Blessed Sacrament, genuflects toward a tabernacle, bows before receiving the Blessed Sacrament at Mass, or, in a more focused way, when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for adoration.⁣
⁣
Although the Real Presence has been recognized since the time of the apostles, evidence shows perpetual adoration may have begun in the sixth century in the Cathedral of Lugo, Spain. By the 12th century, St. Thomas á Becket is known to have prayed for King Henry II before the "majesty of the Body of Christ," and by the 16th century, the devotion known as Forty Hours had developed.⁣
⁣
In 19th-century France, perpetual adoration developed in communities of contemplative nuns. The devotion eventually spread to parishes throughout the world.

Thank to all who joined us for our Community Thanksgiving Service this afternoon at Immaculate Conception Church in Ravenna. Thank you to the pastors who played a part: Bill Davis, Dan Harrington, Paul Knickerbocker and Bill Kraynak and also Deacon Chris Germak. Thank you Jay Nader for providing music. Rev. Dan Harrington played a beautiful musical meditation on the piano. Major Paul Knickerbocker from Salvation Army provided an inspirational sermon about always giving thanks in all things.
We continued our gathing in the social hall at our fellowship reception.
There is nothing like joining our prayer of thanksgiving as one voice in praise and worship. If you missed this year, we will gather again in 2026. Look for it!

Happy Thanksgiving
