Padre Peek Eleva Consacrata l'ostia per Adorazione - La Chiesa di Santo Spirito in Sassia
"Father Peek Elevates the Host for Adoration - The Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia"...
As the gentle morning light bathes the ancient streets of Rome, we embark on a pilgrimage of faith, drawn inexorably towards the magnificent Santo Spirito. Nestled in the shadows of the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica, this sacred sanctuary stands as a testament to Divine Mercy, a legacy meticulously nurtured by the revered St. John Paul II. Each day, at the reverent hour of 3 p.m., congregants assemble to recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet, enveloping the sanctuary in an atmosphere of grace and tranquility. Yet, beneath its architectural splendor lies a narrative woven with threads of compassion and service, echoing through the annals of history. From its humble beginnings in the eighth century as the Santa Maria church in Sassia, devoted to the Virgin Mary, to the founding of Europe's inaugural "Holy Spirit Hospital" in response to the impassioned plea of Pope Innocent III in 1198, this sacred space has been a bastion of solace and healing for countless souls. Within the sanctified precincts of Santo Spirito, a chapel on the right stands as a testament to The Divine Mercy and to the venerable Saint Faustina. Here, the revered statue of the "Apostle of The Divine Mercy," accompanied by her reliquary gifted by the esteemed Holy Father John Paul II, beckons believers to contemplative prayer. Father Peek's dignified gesture elevating the Host for adoration in this captivating photograph touches our hearts. With reverent genuflection, the priest invites us to behold Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, present upon the altar. Let our gaze linger upon the sacred Body of Christ, and within the depths of our souls, may we echo the profound words of adoration: "I adore Thee, O Sacred Body of Jesus Christ, Thou art my Lord and my God; I believe in Thee, I hope in Thee, I love Thee above all things."
