Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, With this letter I am happy to give my wholehearted endoresement to the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association, founded by the late Father John A. Hardon, S.J. At the request of Father Hardon, before his death, I have been serving as the spiritual director for the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association for the past four years. The Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association has a strong membership from the United States of America and also from foreign countries. The Association responds to the desire of many in the Church today to have extended periods of Eucharistic Adoration, even continuous Eucharistic Adoration, for building up of the life of the Church and seeking God's help in the many trials of our times. I am certain that it will bear much fruit. The materials provided by the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association make it possible to establish, in a fitting and not too burdensome way, the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in your parish or institution. It is my hope that you will become a member of the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association as an expression of your deep devotion to the most Blessed Sacrament and, as a means of bringing to others the love of our Lord in the most Blessed Sacrament. Asking God's blessing upon you, I remain Yours devotedly in Christ, (Most Rev.) Raymond L. Burke Archbishop of Saint Louis

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, With this letter, I wholeheartedly commend to you the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association which has as its noble purpose the promotion of worship of the Most Blessed Sacrament, especially through the establishment of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in parishes. In a particular way, I commend to you the excellent manual for establishing Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in a parish, which the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association has developed. In times of great crisis and suffering, Catholics rightly turn to prayer before the Most Blessed Sacrament exposed in the monstrance. The consecrated Host is the efficacious sign of God the Father's infinite love and mercy toward us. In prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, we place into the Heart of the Incarnate Redeemer all our cares and trials. Today, especially, we pray before the Real Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ for the protection of all human life and, in particular, the lives of the innocent and defenseless unborn and of those who have grown weak under the burden of years, illness or special needs. We bring to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus the needs of our parishes and friends, of those who have asked for our prayers, and of those for whom we are bound, in charity, to pray. May the apostolate of the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association flourish for the building up of the Church in faith, hope and love. Asking God's blessing upon you and your homes, I am Yours devotedly in Christ, (Most Rev.) Raymond L. Burke Bishop of La Crosse
