7 times to Adore



Here's a quick insight that I read about last night as Lent begins. I am reading some of the writings of Fr. Marie Dominique Philippe, he is a Domincan priest that died about 3 years ago, and I am pretty sure he will be a saint one day, you can find his writings here, http://www.communityofstjohn.com/; but he made the case that if we adore God 7 times a day, it will change our lives.


That sounds like a lot, but its not when you think about it. To just set aside 7 seperate times from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, to place yourself in God's presence and adore. That is where the truth of your personality develops most fully, because we are entirely ourselves in God's presence. Think about it, to be entirely yourself 7 times a day, I agree it will change the world. Its a great thought for Lent, and it can be very short acts of adoration, but it should be set aside, and there should be silence.
