Eucharistic Adoration

For 2000 years, the Catholic Church has been leading families to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, celebrated in the Mass and in Eucharistic Adoration. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we formed Children of Our Lady of Mercy - Eucharistic Adorers. We felt a special call by Our Lady to gather our children before the presence of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and as we say, with the love of Mary. We felt Our Lady calling us to begin simply by loving and adoring her son Jesus.

When we begin to pray, we invite the children to place themselves more deeply in the loving presence of Jesus. The children begin by thanking Jesus for His love, and for the beautiful gift of Mary, His Most Holy Mother. Our hearts are focused on the presence of Jesus, and His love for us. We reflect on Jesus' desire at the foot of the cross to love and honor Mary, His Most Holy Mother, to receive Mary into our hearts as our spiritual Mother, to love her, and to allow her to form our hearts in her maternal and loving protection of her Immaculate Heart. We then invite the children to make their Marian Consecration, to entrust their hearts to Jesus, through Mary, under her title, Our Lady of Mercy.

We then invite Mary to pray with us and for us, to always lead us closer to her son Jesus. United to Mary's Immaculate Heart, the children offer up their love and prayers to Jesus. We pray the Holy Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. We pray for you and for our world. We pray for the conversion of sinners, for the sanctity of life, for the salvation of souls, for peace in our families, and for peace in our world.

This is the answer. If your family has been away from the presence of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, we invite you to begin by making a Family Holy Hour, with the love of Mary. We have created 7 simple steps to help fathers and mothers lead their children in to a beautiful and loving family Holy Hour. We then invite you to gather in your parish with other families to have a Children's Holy Hour with Our Lady of Mercy.

We are, Children of Our Lady of Mercy - Eucharistic Adorers: "When we simply love and adore Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament with the love of Mary, something beautiful happens. Let us then love Jesus with the heart of Mary, and let us love and honor Mary in the presence of Jesus."

A CHILD'S PRAYER TO MARY:

Dear Mary, loving Mother, I would like to thank you for your love with this prayer. Filled with the love and the grace of your Son, a mother you are to me. You are the one who brings to me the love, and the grace, the joy, and the peace of your Son, Jesus. Dear Lady, you are a Mother to us all. You, Dear Lady, are the one who taught me how to love your Son, how to trust, and how to pray from my heart. You continue to form my heart in the love and grace of your Son. You continue helping me to grow in holiness, how to walk with Jesus and adore Him every day. Blessed are you, and blessed is your Son, the Lord Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, please pray for us. Mary, you have been a love to me, a shining light in the night, a sign of hope for me to see. You have been the voice of calm in my heart, a strength and comfort you are to me. Dear Lady, you pray for all the world, you pray for us all in hopes we will turn to your Son. And so, I would like to thank you by sharing my heart with you in this prayer.
