Jesus desires that we spend time with Him. And what better way to spend time with Him than adoring Him in the Blessed Sacrament? Whether He is exposed in the monstrance or resides in the Tabernacle, He awaits our visits. He yearns for our accompaniment.
What stops us? Have we become aware of our yearning to be in His Presence, too?
Ask any fortunate soul who frequently visits with Him in His Presence. They will tell you of the blessings that come from this.
Indeed, He is everywhere. He is in all of us. But He is physically present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist.
Whether you can stay for an hour or just a few minutes, if you give what you have, then you give all, and you will be rewarded by His graces in abundance.
I urge you to visit with Him in His Presence, adoring Him in the Blessed Sacrament, whether He is exposed in the monstrance or resides in the Tabernacle.
Go to Him. Spend time with Him in the silence. That is where God speaks to us, in the silence of our hearts, with His Heart speaking to ours.
Jesus always speaks to us in silence, especially while in His presence. In Holy Scripture, we see how God communicates His will to His people and gives them His peace by being present to them and speaking in the silence, a whisper, a gentle breeze, a gentle voice. Why would we expect Him to do any differently with us today, in the here and now?
Go and sit before Him, just as you are. No filter. Tell Him what you are struggling with. Be open about your feelings; be honest about where you know you are struggling with sin, about how others have hurt you and those you love. He knows all this already and wants to mend your wounds and transform your heart.

Below is our parish adoration ministry video about the blessings our Pastor (at that time), Deacons, and parishioners receive from spending time with Jesus in His Presence. I pray it speaks to your heart and leads you to spend more time with Him in His Presence so you may receive all the blessings He wishes to give you for doing so as well.

Here is a podcast on the blessings and peace we receive from Adoration.
