Eucharistic adoration is part of Catholic tradition. In many
parts of the world, perpetual adoration is flourishing as never
before. Presented here for any who respect the Blessed Sacrament,
the reflections found in "Eucharistic Contemplation" provide a
distinct style for prayer and veneration.
"Eucharistic Contemplation" is not another book of eucharistic
devotions" as has been the style for the past few centuries. The
prayers are not directed to Jesus in the Sacrament of the Altar,
full of sentiments, feelings, petitions, thanksgiving, praise, or
reparation. Rather, these 32 reflections focus on contemplation as
a simple, straightforward, and honest prayer. Every short reading
leads to moments of silent contemplation. They are meant to serve
principally for moments of prayer, yet define the meaning of what
contemplation, and specifically eucharistic contemplation, are to
people of faith praying before the Blessed sacrament.
Prepared and delivered in the parish of San Francisco de Borja,
in Lima, Peru, these reflections on the Eucharist use actual
prayers from the Church's sacramentary and rites. Each reflection
follows the process of Eucharistic contemplation. The first reading
should be studied slowly to have a basic understanding of the text.
Then, the reader is invited to search out the various scriptural
background references, especially from the Old Testament. A
re-reading of the text, with pauses, and time for deep silence
concludes the meditation.
