Knowing and loving god: "Communion and contemplation belong together: a person cannot communicate with another person without knowing him. Love or friendship always carries within it an impulse of reverence, of adoration. Communicating with Christ therefore demands that we gaze on him, allow him to gaze on us, listen to him, get to know him. Adoration is simply the personal aspect of Communion" (Pope Benedict XVI). (You are invited to spend some time adoring the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament every weekday after the 9:00 am Mass).
