Pope John Paul II

Defender and Apostle of Eucharistic Adoration
Pope John Paul II

"I hope that this form of perpetual adoration, with permanent exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, will continue into the future."

      (International Eucharistic Congress in Seville, Spain June 1993)

"Public and private devotion to the Holy Eucharist outside Mass is highly recommended: for the presence of Christ, who is adored by the faithful in the Sacrament, derives from the sacrifice and is directed towards sacramental and spiritual communion."

      (Inaestimabile Donum, #20, 1980)

"The Church and the world have great need of Eucharistic adoration. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and contemplation full of faith. And let us be ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease."

      (Dominicae Cenae: Letter to Priests, Holy Thursday, 1980)

"Closeness to the Eucharistic Christ in silence and contemplation does not distance us from our contemporaries but, on the contrary, makes us open to human joy and distress, broadening our hearts on a global scale. Through adoration the Christian mysteriously contributes to the radical transformation of the world and to the sowing of the gospel. Anyone who prays to the Eucharistic Savior draws the whole world with him and raises it to God."

      (Letter to the Bishop of Liege, Reported in L'Osserv. Romano, 1996)
