Universal Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration (2 June 2013, 11pm, Singapore time)

The Holy Father will be leading a worldwide hour of Eucharistic adoration today in Rome at 5pm (which is 11pm, Singapore time). There will be Holy Hour of prayer at Queen of Peace Church as well, for those of you who wish to join in. If you can't make it because it is too late, you can still join the universal church in prayer at home. That's the beauty of being Catholic isn't it?  :)

Lastly, sharing with you a hymn which you can use in your reflection during Holy Hour. This is my personal favourite - a lovely, lovely hymn to be savoured slowly.

Ave Verum Corpus

Ave, ave, verum corpus  natum de Maria Virgine,  Vere passum immolatum in Cruce pro homine, Cujus latus perforatum unda fluxitet sanguine, Esto nobis praegustatum in mortis examine.

Hail,true body born of the Virgin Mary, Who truly suffered, sacrificed on the Cross for man, Whose pierced side overflowed with water and blood, Be for us a foretaste In the test of death.
