More from Pope John Paul II’s encyclical ECCLESIA DE EUCHARISTIA

"25. The worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass is of inestimable value for the life of the Church. This worship is strictly linked to the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice. The presence of Christ under the sacred species reserved after Mass – a presence which lasts as long as the species of bread and of wine remain 45 – derives from the celebration of the sacrifice and is directed towards communion, both sacramental and spiritual.46 It is the responsibility of Pastors to encourage, also by their personal witness, the practice of Eucharistic adoration, and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in particular, as well as prayer of adoration before Christ present under the Eucharistic species”

Sounds to me like there are a lot of pastors that have some ‘splaining’ to do! We had a priest at our parish who, when the yearly Night of Prayer against abortion was held, would take the Blessed Sacrament out, then leave and come back at the end of the 4 hours to put the Sacrament back. This same priest would always have time to spend a few hours on the golf course. Our newly ordained priest pleased everyone when he lead the entire 4 hour prayer service.
