[CATHOLIC CAUCUS] Visit Me by Night

A great work of love is being done here,
one that proceeds directly from My Eucharistic Heart
to glorify My Father and to redeem the world,
for the work of redemption is continued
in the Sacrament of My Body and Blood
until the end of time. . . .

I am here [in the Most Blessed Sacrament] for you and for the whole world.
Take your place here before Me,
and abide before My Face,
close to My Heart that is all love.

It is no little thing for a poor human creature of Mine
to prefer My Eucharistic Love to an hour of sleep in the night.
Only in heaven will you know the worth of an hour so spent.
Come to Me, then.
Visit Me, and remain with Me by night,
and I will work for you, and with you, and through you
by day.

By nocturnal adoration you will obtain from My Heart
things which cannot be obtained from Me in any other way,
especially the liberation of souls
from the influence and oppression of the powers of darkness.

More souls are saved and liberated by adoration made during the night
than by any other form of prayer:
this is the prayer that unites you most closely
to My own nights passed entirely in prayer
during My life on earth.

Come to Me, then, by night,
and you shall experience My power and My presence at your side
during the day.
Ask of Me whatsoever you will
by coming to Me at night,
and you will experience My merciful help at break of day.
I love with a love of predilection
those whom I call to be with Me during the hours of the night.

The prayer of adoration at night
has the power and efficacy of that prayer made with fasting
that I recommended to My apostles
as the means of expelling demons
from the souls whom they torture and oppress.
For this reason, the demons fear and hate adoration made at night,
while the Angels rejoice over it,
and place themselves at the service of the soul who desires to do it.

Please note: this is a Catholic Caucus thread! By nocturnal adoration you will obtain from My Heart
things which cannot be obtained from Me in any other way,
especially the liberation of souls
from the influence and oppression of the powers of darkness.
For those of you who "cannot go to a church or chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved, particularly during the hours of the night," Fr. Kirby offers this post: Nocturnal Adoration at Home

Just as an update, I posted this in March of last year, and had ardently wanted to participate in nocturnal adoration since at least that time, but I could never get the job done, but then my 70-year-old brother (kind-hearted but agnostic all the way) passed away just last November (he suffered for a goodly amount of time with kidney issues/failure), and I promised him on his painful deathbed that I'd pray for him night and day.

So, for the time being anyway, I have made it, and adoring at night is all that Fr. Kirby promised it would be. I would say it is life-changing. And the best part of all, I feel my brother saying to me, "thank you."

Also for those who cannot always make it to an "Adoration Chapel" when they'd like to, some people might find this "Pink Sisters' Adoration Webcam" web site to be helpful for their prayers.

Condolences on the loss of your brother. May God bless you, FRiend.
Thank you Bigg Red; that means a lot to me. A couple of hours ago, I completed three hours of nocturnal adoration (1 a.m.-3 a.m.), and am thrilled this slothful soul could do such a feat. Jesus [in the Blessed Sacrament] is powerful indeed! http://adorationrocks.com/letter.html. (By the way, the chapel to which Mother Teresa refers to in the link, is the one where I adore.:)) Last Friday at 3:00 a.m., I entered the adoration chapel as well for nocturnal adoration, to find seven, yes, seven faithful adoring (a nocturnal adoration festival!!), and most, if not all, had been there since 11 p.m. on Thursday. Can you imagine? And they are signed on to do this every week.

And regarding your links, Heart-Rest, I'm leaving this from Fr. Kirby, for your discernment:

Praying Before an Image

I am not at all convinced that recourse to “webcam adoration” is a healthy development; it is, rather, fraught with theological and sacramental ambiguities that can easily mislead devout souls. It would be better, when one finds oneself incapacitated, home–bound, or otherwise unable to go physically to the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, to make use of a sacred image, a holy icon. This was the wise recommendation of the saintly Father Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey, SS.CC. (1875-1960), the apostle of nocturnal adoration in the home. One who prays before an image of Our Lord — a depiction of His Holy Face or of His Sacred Heart — will be moved to seek out the reality of what the image portrays, either by going to Holy Mass, or by visiting a church where the Most Blessed Sacrament is reserved, or by asking to receive the adorable Body of Christ at home, in hospital, in prison or wherever one may find oneself confined, immobilised, or otherwise incapable of receiving Our Lord sacramentally and of tarrying in His real presence. http://vultus.stblogs.org/index.php/2014/01/the-conundrum-of-the-webcam-in-the-sanctuary/
