Hi Suzi –
So glad you are on your journey home to the Catholic church! Praise God!
If you don’t already have The Catechism of the Catholic Church, please get one – it is a wealth of information. It says:
" In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist, the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore **the whole Christ is truly really, and substantially contained. ** This presence, called ‘real’ – by which is not intended to exclude the other types of presence as if they could not be ‘real’, too, but because it is presence in the fullest sense; that is to say, it is a substantial presence by which Christ, God, and man, makes himself wholly and entirely present." (CCC 1374)
When Jesus becomes present during the consecration, He becomes fully present – body, blood, soul and divinity. You cannot separate his humanity (body and blood) from his divinity, then He wouldn’t be Jesus.
I struggled with the concept of adoration for quite some time, feeling that I could talk with Jesus or “be” with Him anywhere, anytime; which, of course, is true. But to be in His Holy Presence, where He Truly Dwells is an awesome experience! I began a regular hour of adoration each week about three years ago, and I can’t wait for my “date with Jesus” each week. I find myself going more often when I can, and never come away feeling disappointed.
There is a wonderful book called “Come to Me in the Blessed Sacrament” by the Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament, which is totally awesome! It is a book Mother Teresa carried with her everywhere. Some adoration chapels have a lot of material available to read and reflect upon during adoration; perhaps your chapel already has this book.
Anyway, I suggest you try spending some time in adoration, and you will find you feel His Presence in special way and might even find you are drawn to be with Him more and more often!
Hope this helps!
