Perpetual Adoration Chapel
|
The chapel of the Providence Center, formerly the convent for the teaching Sisters of the Congregation
of Divine Providence, is now home for Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration.
The large and beautiful crucifix, given by a parishioner, is sculpted in the style of the medieval
Florentine artist Cimabue and shows a Byzantine influence. The altar belonged to Bishop Robert
Ackerman and stood in his Fort Thomas residence on Walker Road. Its wood inlay recalls how the risen
Jesus was unrecognized until He blessed and broke bread (Luke 24:28-32). Central to all, of course,
is Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. We kneel before our Savior, Who waits for us within a
golden monstrance adorned with a blood-red ruby. Effortlessly, angels bear Him up: "They will support
you on their hands" (Psalm 91:12).
In this room, beauty and silence combine in reverence as hour after hour, week after week, hundreds
of adorers come to be refreshed in the presence of Our Lord. Considering that this parish began over
100 years ago, in the yearning of men and women to draw closer to Christ, how fitting this is. May
each of us enter His presence often and reverently, with heartfelt thanks and praise.
