What is Magnify?
Have you ever wondered what an event about Jesus and nothing else looks like? This is what Magnify is and the beauty of a ministry focused on the Eucharist is its Minister: Jesus Christ Himself. Our vision at Magnify is to get out of the way and allow Jesus to form each evening and each souls’ encounter according to His will.
Once a month, typically on the fourth Wednesday, we host a night of adoration in the church with praise and worship by Josh Goodman to supplement that encounter with Jesus. With Father Michael hearing Confessions after his scriptural reflection up through sometime before Benediction.
We pray that you come and spend time in prayer with Jesus, encountering Him in a special way that He is personally inviting you to come and share your heart with Him. We pray to see you at Magnify.
7pm – 8:30pm in the church
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we bring children?
Yes, most definitely, please bring your children for our Lord Jesus loves them so much, and stay as long as you wish.
“Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”-Matthew 19:14
I am not a Catholic but would like to come. How will I feel and what is Adoration?
You will be welcome as a brother or sister in Christ, as all of us are the children of one Father.
Eucharistic Adoration is a Catholic worship of Jesus’ Body, Soul and Divinity in a consecrated host placed in a monstrance on the altar. You may follow others in bodily postures during Adoration (kneeling, sitting) but if you do not feel comfortable kneeling, you may sit or stand up. Please, keep in mind that the Eucharistic Adoration is a solemn worship service for all Catholics.
Do I have to stay the entire time?
Stay as long or as short as you wish. Perhaps allow Jesus to direct the time you spend with Him? Time is such a precious gift; may your time at Magnify be a gift you give yourself, for moments of encounter with the Lord Jesus is always special.
Why is it called an event?
“In the fullness of time” (Father most holy), You sent Your Only Begotten Son to be our Savior.” -Eucharistic Prayer.
Because the Eucharist is always a Word event when Jesus becomes present by the power of those consecratory words; the priest pronouncing the words of Jesus, “This is my body…. this is my blood.”
Even in the silence of the tabernacle, the Eucharist remains a Word event, Jesus is present there by the power of those consecratory words. The Eucharistic presence in the Tabernacle harkens back to the liturgy because that is its proper origin, and it returns to the liturgy because it is there by the power of the Word.
“The worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass is of inestimable value for the life of the Church.”
Saint Pope John Paul II
