I want the world to discover that Jesus is truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament
Canon Michael Branch shares his love of Eucharistic adoration and his desire that everyone discover the Lord Jesus who is truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist
The Dean of St George’s Cathedral, Canon Michael Branch, has shared his love of Eucharistic adoration.
Canon Michael said it is so important for us to spend time with the Lord Jesus in adoration, because “like any relationship, any friendship, it is so important that you spend time with that person”.
As a priest, Canon Michael said, his “one great desire” is for “the whole world to discover that Jesus is truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament”.
It was in Eucharistic adoration where Canon Michael felt the Lord calling him to the priesthood.
Recognising “we all have busy lives”, Canon Michael said we all still “need to make time before the Eucharist in Eucharistic adoration”. Canon Michael said “Eucharistic adoration isn’t an optional extra, it’s an absolute must”.
Canon Michael said “I can’t emphasise enough, I can’t encourage you more to grow in your belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ”. He said “this is the best way to invest your time”.
In Eucharistic adoration, “all of life’s problems”, Canon Michael said, “will eventually dissolve away” and “you will become the person who the Lord has really called you to be”.
St George’s Cathedral, Southwark has adoration every Thursday after the 7.30am Mass until 5pm. Adoration is also available on Saturday mornings 10am to 11am. You can find the St George’s service times at: http://stgeorgescathedral.org.uk/services/
