What is
Eucharistic
Adoration?
Understood
simply,
Eucharistic Adoration is
adoring or honoring the
Eucharistic Presence of
Christ. In a deeper
sense, it involves "the
contemplation of the
Mystery of Christ truly
present before us".
During Eucharistic
Adoration, we "watch
and wait", we remain
"silent" in His Presence
and open ourselves to
His Graces which flow
from the Eucharist ... By
worshiping the
Eucharistic Jesus, we
become what God wants
us to be! Like a magnet,
The Lord draws us to
Himself and gently
transforms us.
In Memoriam
We ask that you keep
in your prayers those
who have died, that
they may receive the
goodness and mercy
of Our Lord.

Domingo de Ramos "De la pasión del Señor"
EVANGELIO
Mt 21, 1-11
Cuando se aproximaban ya a Jerusalén, al llegar a Betfagé, junto al monte de los
Olivos, envió Jesús a dos de sus discípulos, diciéndoles: "Vayan al pueblo que ven allí
enfrente; al entrar, encontrarán amarrada una burra y un burrito con ella; desátenlos
y tráiganmelos. Si alguien les pregunta algo, díganle que el Señor los necesita y
enseguida los devolverá".
Esto sucedió para que se cumplieran las
palabras del profeta: Díganle a la hija de Sión:
He aquí que tu rey viene a ti, apacible y montado
en un burro, en un burrito, hijo de animal de
yugo.
Fueron, pues, los discípulos e hicieron lo que
Jesús les había encargado y trajeron consigo la
burra y el burrito. Luego pusieron sobre ellos
sus mantos y Jesús se sentó encima. La gente,
muy numerosa, extendía sus mantos por el
camino; algunos cortaban ramas de los árboles y las tendían a su paso. Los que iban
delante de él y los que lo seguían gritaban: "
¡Hosanna! ¡Viva el Hijo de David! ¡Bendito
el que viene en nombre del Señor! ¡Hosanna en el cielo!"
Al entrar Jesús en Jerusalén, toda la ciudad se conmovió. Unos decían: "¿Quién es
éste?" Y la gente respondía: "Éste es el profeta Jesús, de Nazaret de Galilea".
