      CONCRETE INSTRUMENTS OF HOLINESS
                   1. adoration


                   «Men have the Lord of the Universe within their reach but they
             do not take advantage of it.... They think of other things, they are
             absorbed by their miseries» .

                   ideas For reFlection

                   • Being in front of Jesus, in Eucharistic Adoration, is not easy,
             but it helps us to create room in us, so that the Lord can speak to our
             heart. Even a few minutes may be enough, the rest will be received
             as a gift from Jesus.
                   • It’s not about knowing how to pray. There is no one prayer
             that is better than another. If a prayer expresses a relationship, then it
             is authentic.
                   • Let me pause for a moment now and talk to Jesus.



                   2. prayinG as a couple

                   «Wanting to pray  together every day, they purchased two
             kneelers that they placed in their bedroom» .
                                                      17

                   ideas For reFlection

                   • We might consider setting aside a small space, in our room,
             where we can gather to talk with Jesus.
