March 13 - Adoration should lead to greater union with Jesus, Pope teaches
 
Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days
 
.- Eucharistic adoration was the focus of remarks made by Pope Benedict XVI today as he received participants in the plenary assembly of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. Adoration of Jesus in the Eucharist must lead us to union with "the living Lord and with His mystical Body," Benedict emphasized.

Speaking to the Congregation's full assembly, Pope Benedict said that he hopes their reflection on Eucharistic adoration "may help to clarify. the liturgical and pastoral means by which the Church of our time can promote faith in the real presence of the Lord in the Blessed Eucharist, and to ensure that the celebration of Mass fully incorporates the aspect of adoration."

Recalling three penitential practices particularly dear to biblical and Christian tradition (prayer, almsgiving and fasting)," he exhorted the assembly to "encourage one another to rediscover and practice fasting with renewed fervor, not only as a form of asceticism but also as a preparation for the Eucharist
