\nWhen the pope talks about spending time with Christ, he is referring to kneeling in front of a monstrance and adoring a wafer that is believed to be Jesus Christ. This is called Eucharistic adoration.<\/p>\n

There is not a single verse in the Bible that instructs anyone to adore a wafer contained in a monstrance. This is a fabrication of the Roman Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

July 13 – Christ Seen as Key for Youth Day
\nArticle: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days<\/strong><\/p>\n

PERTH, Australia, JULY 13, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Christ is key for the success of World Youth Day, according to the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. The friars from New York organized a 40-hour Eucharistic adoration marathon at All Saints Chapel in Perth’s central business district this week.<\/p>\n

Brother Columba Jordan, 30, who had at least 1,000 youth participating in activities, said adoration is a powerful way of helping youth realize Christ’s presence in the Eucharist.<\/p>\n

“Benedict XVI asked young people in his World Youth Day message to pray for a new Pentecost for Australia, and young people can’t do that without spending time with Christ,” said Brother Columba, who found the courage and clarity to follow his calling at the international youth day held in Rome in 2000.Click here to read this entire news story.<\/a><\/p>\n
