I have put off going to adoration because I feel that if I go, Jesus will be staring and/or glaring at me. Whenever I go, I feel guilty and ashamed. The last time I went, I could feel the sweat running down my face…I thought I was going to pass out.

This is the devil attempting to drive You away from Our LORD. There can be nothing further from the truth. Our LORD loves You to pieces and would willing die for you, all over again. Without question. Please don’t stop going, the graces and holiness that you recieve by going to Adoration are just undesrcibable. satan wants you to stop going. The Merciful HEART of JESUS would never glare at you. HE loves you way too much to glare at you. Like I said, HE would willingly, die, just for you, all over again. Every lash, drive of the nail, fall with the Cross, HE would endure, just for you, all over again. Please go, it is an attack of satan, trying to shame you into leaving. Don’t do it!!

I will pray that you expierenc the strength and grace, so that you may develop a fierce and deep love of Our BLESSED LORD in the MOST HOLY SACRAMENT of the Altar!!
 
Aww! No, don’t worry, that’s not true at all! He would never be glaring at you. He is SO HAPPY when you visit Him. He’s lonely in the tabernacle when no one is there - you receive tons of graces when you go and keep Him company.

Some quotes from saints that may help:

“We ought to visit Him often. How dear to Him is a quarter of an hour spared from our occupations or from some useless employment, to come and pray to Him, visit Him, and console Him for all the ingratitude He receives! When He sees pure souls hurrying to Him, He smiles at them.” -St. John Vianney

“Our Lord was so afraid we might forget Him that He took up His abode among us. He made His home with us so that we might not be able to think of Him without thinking of His love. By giving Himself thus and insisting on this gift, He hoped not to be forgotten.” - St. Peter Julian Eymard

“Do you know, dear brethren, what induced Jesus Christ to condescend to be present in our churches by day and night? It was that we might be able to come to Him whenever we wanted to.” - St. John Vianney

“He loves, He hopes, He waits. If He came down on our altars on certain days only, some sinner, on being moved to repentance, might have to look for Him, and not finding Him, might have to wait. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep him waiting one instant”. - St. Peter Julian Eymard

“Each time that anyone thus looks lovingly at the Host, Which contains sacramentally My Divine Body, He will increase his merits for Heaven, And add to his eternal joys an especial delight, Corresponding to that with which he devoutly contemplated This precious Body on earth.” - Jesus to a saint (not sure who)

Don’t feel afraid, what’s pushing you away is not something of good spirit. God is loving and wants you to be with him. He loves you more than you could ever imagine, just relax in his presence and know that he loves you. :gopray::blessyou:
 
While Jesus will be our final Judge at the end of the world, know that He is all-merciful and all-loving. We have nothing to fear of His judgement if we love Him and we try to follow Him to the best of our ability. Jesus will never rebuke you for coming to visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament. He values your presence as one of His children. Did you know that an indulgence is attached to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament? (Enchiridion #3). What a wonderful gift we can receive by going to visit Him. I think it is just the ticket for anyone who feels weighed down or embarrassed by sin to have all that punishment taken away and our burden lifted.
 
Thank you everyone for the help and encouragement. I do suffer from scrupulosity and it often prevents me from praying,etc.

Here is a quote from Jesus to a nun (I forget her name): “Many sinners think that I’m only merciful, but I am also very just.” He was talking about sinners who are presume and think they can sin and go to confession later.

Thats what I have done before…I have done so many stupid things. There is adoration every Friday…I always talk myself out of going, then I feel down later and wish that I had gone.

Remember that God has destroyed your sins - He remembers them no more. You have been allowed to remember them only as an inspiration to avoid them in the future - and not as punishment! Scrupulosity, if not controlled, can control you and then becomes the sin. Please discuss this with your Priest. As well, the evil one is always seeking to drive a wedge between you and the mercy of God. When you feel like God cannot, or has not forgiven you, try to call to mind just who it is that plants these evil thoughts. The passion of anger is properly used to resist this evil - not physical anger, but spiritual. Beat the devil over the head with a spiritual warfare prayer. I can attest that they are very powerful when fervently prayed. As James wrote: “Resist the devil and he will flee.” The devil is known to be a coward and the power of God puts him to flight - every time. May Christ’s peace be with you.
 
Please try a devotion to the SACRED HEART and the DIVINE MERCY. It should help…
 
:hug1:

Talk to your priest about the scrupulosity.

I have been going to Adoration since spring. I am a new convert and the whole idea was a bit awkward at first for me, but now it is something I look forward to every week. It is time well spent.

I am sure our Lord would be happy for you to be there. Go and pray.
