Hajja Salesjana July-September 2021

8 H AJJA S ALESJANA truly understand the inner secrets, wounds and mysteries in our heart.   Read and pray through this booklet if possible in front of the Blessed Sacrament! 6. HOLY HOUR Get into the habit of making a daily Holy Hour in front of the most Blessed Sacrament. It will transform your life if you persevere in the practice. The Great Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, who made his Holy Hour faithfully for more than fifty years, called it The Hour of Power. 7. ADORN AND EMBELLISH CHURCHES & THE EUCHARIST The woman lavished her expensive nard on the feet of Jesus; she wept and her tears came pouring forth on the feet of Jesus; finally she wiped Jesus’ feet with her hair (Lk. 7:36-50). Fulton Sheen points out that this is symbolic of the gestures of love and attention we should manifest in the way we adorn, embellish and beautify the Churches and tabernacles where Jesus abides. Known for his spirit of penance, fasting, and sacrifice, the Cure of Ars would travel long distances and expend big sums of money to purchase the best for his little Church. Why? For the simple reason that Jesus—the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords—abides in the tabernacle and descends from Heaven in the hands of the priest in every consecrated Host.  “O come let us adore Him!” 8. HOLY MASS AND HOLY COMMUNION Of course, the greatest act is the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The greatest gesture any human being can accomplish is to assist at Mass and to receive Holy Communion Photo by Francesco Alberti www.unsplash.com
