I got charged after setting up a recurring purchase. Has anyone had this issue ? I never received any Cro coins but it sure charged my account !!
Edit: Tix have a new home with a fellow music lover. Thanks, r/Knoxville! Not sure if I should delete this post now...?
Friends, I bought these tickets months ago...in one of a long string of mother-of-the-year moves, it's also the long-known date of my son's college graduation so I reluctantly have to take a pass on the show. Any jazz lovers who'd like to make use of them? I don't need to recoup the cost but if it's in your budget it'd be awesome if you'd make a commensurate donation to Big Ears, the event presenter.*Venue requires proof of vaccination to attend*Be prepared with a way to receive PDF tickets via email, please.
Look upon the hour of adoration assigned to you as an hour in Paradise.
Go to your adoration as one would to Heaven, to the Divine banquet. You will then long for that hour and hail it with joy. Take delight in fostering a longing for it in your heart. Tell yourself, "In four hours, in two hours, in one hour, our Lord will give me an audience of grace and love. He has invited me; He is waiting! for me; He is longing for me."
When your hour is particularly difficult, rejoice all the more; your love will be greater for its suffering more. It is a privileged hour that will count for two. When on account of illness, infirmity, or some other reason, you cannot make your hour, let your heart be saddened for a moment. Then in spirit imagine yourself at adoration in union with those who are actually adoring. On a bed of sickness, or on a journey, or at a task that detains you, be more recollected, and you will derive the same fruit as if you had been able to kneel at the feet of the good Master. That hour will be written down to your credit and perhaps even counted for two.
Go to our Lord just as you are. Be natural in your meditation. Use up your own stock of piety and love before resorting to books. Cherish the inexhaustible book of a humble love. It is all very well to take a pious book with you to regain control of yourself in case the mind wanders or the senses grow drowsy; but remember that our good Master prefers the poverty of our heart to the most sublime thoughts and affections borrowed from others.
- St Peter Julian Eymard, The Real Presence
