"We are to be contemplative women who glorify the Lord and reverence his presence in those among whom we minister. Adoration is for us a love relationship with the Holy One in whom we are made one with the communion of saints. To grow in adoration means that our entire person, in all of our relationships and circumstances, in all our sinfulness and giftedness, becomes ever more fully surrendered with Jesus to the Father for the coming of the kingdom."

Constitution of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ
Given at Rome, Pentecost Sunday
June 7, 1992
Chapter V, p 27

Reflection Questions:

Have there been times in my life when I felt deeply "a love relationship with the Holy One" - a relationship with all who make up the communion of saints?
Do I try to live in the spirit of adoration? - "ever more fully surrendered with Jesus to the Father for the coming of the kingdom?"
Seeing adoration as a way of life, do I also see death as life's last great act of adoration - that act by which and in which I surrender all with Jesus to the Father?
