If you're at a lost in terms of ways to become more Christ-centred or Christ-like, following the Pope's advice might be a worthy thing to do!
B16 is calling for a renewal of Eucharistic adoration, which he said helps to bring about a "fundamental transformation".
When we recognise the reality that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, it only makes sense to see Him more regularly. As our Pope said, in the Eucharist, "God no longer simply stands before us as the One who is totally Other; He is within us, and we are in him. His dynamic enters into us and then seeks to spread outward to others until it fills the world, so that his love can truly become the dominant measure of the world."
In this sense, "adoration must become union, union with the living Lord and with His mystical Body" (that is, the Church).
Adoration of our Lord is not just spending time with Him, but we also "experience the fundamental transformation of violence into love, of death into life. This brings other changes in its wake."
In our noise-polluted culture, it’s more difficult than ever to hear God's still, soft voice calling out to us. Adoration gives is the opportunity to spend quiet time in silence, thus giving God a bigger platform to speak to us.
He cannot stop loving us, but we can stop Him from loving us.
If you visited the adoration room for a long time, or if you don't have a habit of doing so, perhaps I could suggest that this season of coming back to Christ is the perfect time to start. It'd be even better if we continue doing it after Quadragesima.
