The Adoration Chapel That Never Sleeps...

HONOR
"All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My Son's House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned into a meeting hall." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979

RESTORE HOLINESS
"In the beginning I gave to you, through your prophets, the establishment of My Church upon earth. The rules were simple but now have become changed and defiled to please the carnal nature of mankind. You must restore the holiness to My House! You must bend your knees in humility and penance." - Jesus, December 31, 1975

ChurchMilitant.com reported on September 11, 2023:

by William Mahoney, Ph.D.

In the city that never sleeps, disciples now sit at the feet of the Master in an adoration chapel that never closes.

On the corner of Sixth Avenue and West Washington Place sits St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village — an unassuming church nestled among the low-rises and scattered trees. Past the columns in the front stand large blue doors that lead into the main church, one of the oldest in New York City.

A street-level door to the right of the church's facade leads into a split-foyer entry, with the parish office upstairs and the new adoration chapel downstairs.

On behalf of Church Militant and for our readership, I bused to the Port Authority on 42nd Street and then walked down to St. Joseph's Church, not far from Eighth Street. The parish secretary let me inside and kindly offered me a cup of water.

I then sat down with the pastor, Fr. Boniface Endorf, O.P., to discuss the adoration chapel before visiting it.

"The goal of a parish is to produce saints," Fr. Endorf explained. To that end, his parish already offers the sacrament of penance twice a day.

He noted New York City is quite secular, but further noted, direct and perpetual prayer to the heart of Jesus in the Eucharist, here in the heart of the city is transformative, both for Greenwich Village and the city as a whole.

The Dominican friar, who is both the pastor of Saint Joseph's and superior of the five friars at this location, explained the idea for an adoration chapel came from Colin Nykaza in 2018. Nykaza, who works in the young adult ministry, was trying to establish a perpetual adoration chapel in the city, to no avail. Surprisingly, the city did not have any perpetual adoration chapel before this new one at St. Joseph's was established.

Adoration chapel at St. Joseph's Church

Naturally, Fr. Endorf was strongly in favor of establishing such a chapel. Of course, the realization of the notion would require the construction of a room on the premises, which would require fundraising.

At first, fundraising efforts seemed hopeless. So, Fr. Endorf began to pray more earnestly, handing everything over to the will of God. Soon thereafter, the needed funds began to pour in.

However, the project took longer than expected, owing to COVID restrictions and supply-chain problems in the country. Nevertheless, the adoration chapel was finally completed. On July 30, 2023, this summer, Cdl. Timothy Dolan consecrated the new adoration chapel.

Adoration in the Big Apple

The stark contrast between trekking through the city to the church and then sitting quietly in the adoration chapel was palpable.

I had entered a refuge from the frenetic pace of New York City, to a place where Jesus offered a moment of respite and recollection, an opportunity to adore, repent, offer gratitude, and petition.

There were a few others in the chapel when I arrived, and others who came and went while I was there. All peacefully rested in Our Lord, who mysteriously rests in us when we are in a state of grace. And though I did not know any of the others present personally, I knew they were my brothers and sisters in Christ. Whereas, in the streets I felt somewhat like an outsider; here, I felt entirely at home.

As some time passed, I began to think about my whereabouts. Here, is this new adoration chapel in the heart of the "Big Apple," a nickname for New York City popularized in the 1920s. The exact origin of the nickname is contested. One website lists about six possibilities, another website, however, posits a whole different theory.

Whatever the origin, the appellation "Big Apple" turned my thoughts to original sin. Though the Hebrew word peri, simply meaning "fruit," is used in Genesis for the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil from which Adam and Eve ate in disobedience to God's command, artists have long depicted that forbidden fruit as an apple. Why exactly the apple was seen as the forbidden fruit is inconclusive; however, it is certain the symbolism has prevailed, from terms like "Adam's apple" to classic stories like Snow White and more recent ones like Twilight, which shows an apple representing "forbidden fruit" on the cover.

So regardless of the precise origin or original meaning intended by the nickname "Big Apple," the moniker seemed a fitting allusion to disobeying God, especially in a city that boasts of never sleeping. I mean, what good things happen in the dark, in the middle of the night? Even some empirical research seems to show people are more at risk for harmful behavior after midnight. Last August, such research led some scientists to call for more research into the reasons why.

Of course, believers know the empirical sciences are valuable but incapable of fully answering such questions, since the questions involve things visible and invisible — the reality of God's creation we profess every Sunday when we recite the Nicene Creed.

Regarding the spiritual side of the connection between nighttime and wickedness, the book of Proverbs offers an interesting insight, declaring: "For they sleep not except they have done evil: and their sleep is taken away unless they have made some to fall" (Proverbs 4:16).

My mind then turned to another phrase involving "fruit" used in the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament. The phrase (used, for example, in Deuteronomy 28:4) is "peri vitnehcha," which means "fruit of your womb." We immediately recognize this beautiful Hebrew mode of thought from the Hail Mary that echoes the words of Elizabeth to Our Lady: "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb" (Luke 1:42).

The fruit of Mary's womb is Jesus, the Word made flesh, of whom the Letter to the Hebrews declares: "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me" (Hebrews 10:5).

In Genesis, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God said, "Behold, Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" (Genesis 3:22).

The Tree of Life is the Cross on which Jesus offered Himself to conquer sin and death. Jesus is both the victim and the fruit of the sacrifice. At Mass, we take part in the sacrifice of the Eucharist, taking from the Tree of Life and eating to live forever. This is precisely why Jesus taught, "He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day."

In adoration, we contemplate the sacrament of the Eucharist. We sit at the feet of the Master, and like Mary in opposition to her sister Martha, we choose the best part that will not be taken away from us (cf. Luke 10:41).

Praise God, the Big Apple, a secular place that can be seen as an allusion to humanity's ongoing rebellion against God, now has a chapel where the remedy to that rebellion is perpetually available for all who wish to adore Him.

KNEEL
"My children, kneel before your God in the Eucharist. Do not stand like you stand in meeting halls, but kneel and give Him a just love and observance of honor." - Our Lady, July 14,1979

SANCTITY OF SILENCE
"You will make it known to the world, and especially, My child, to the men in the House of God, that We can no longer tolerate their permissive attitudes in the offenses which they permit, and are acting in laxity of their permission of offenses to the Eucharist.
"The House of God will be a sanctity of silence and adoration. The House of God will be a place of honor among men. The House of God will not be entered in nakedness." - Our Lady, August 5, 1973

Our Lady of the Roses' Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

RESTORE HOLINESS
"In the beginning I gave to you, through your prophets, the establishment of My Church upon earth. The rules were simple but now have become changed and defiled to please the carnal nature of mankind. You must restore the holiness to My House! You must bend your knees in humility and penance." - Jesus, December 31, 1975

GRACES IN ABUNDANCE
"Less and less honor is being given to My Son in the Eucharist. Will you not love Him? Express and act upon your love by comforting My Son in the tabernacles of the world. Visit Him more often, for He grows lonely in His House. Graces in abundance shall be given to all who seek My Son in the Eucharist." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979

HONOR THE EUCHARIST
"My Son is much grieved, My child, in the manner in which many come to Him in His House. They come with disrespect. They do not have love for Him in their hearts. My child, please, they lead themselves onto the road to satan. They must not accept My Son with sin in their hearts. Many do not go to Our representatives. They accept My Son with sin on their souls! Shout it, My child, from the roofs: you must honor the Eucharist!" - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

COMFORT HIM
"My children, I repeat: do not leave your parish church, but remain as an example. The Eucharist, My Son, is always with you. Comfort Him, as His heart is torn by the many abominations being committed in His House and by many of His clergy.
"It will not be an easy road for you and all who carry the light. The forces of darkness are great upon your world now, but remember, My children, at the end of this battle, it will be victory for Heaven and all who have given themselves as children of God and remain faithful and true." - Our Lady, February 1, 1978

REPLACE THE GATING
"My child and My children, be it known now that We have looked into the churches about the world, and We are much confused and perhaps cannot understand the nature of humans who can in such little time do so much to destroy My Church, My House upon earth. You must restore My houses to their original condition. We ask that you return the statues to My churches, that you restore the main altar, that you replace the gating so that others may kneel in adoration to their God. This is only the beginning; there is much else that you, My pastors, can do, and those who wear the mitres shall do, or they shall find themselves quickly in hell." Jesus, August 21, 1985

"MY SON IS LONELY"
"My Son is lonely. He has been abandoned in His tabernacles and His home. The doors have been locked. He remains there, a prisoner of His own. My Son is very lonely in His House. Won't you come with compassion and ease His loneliness? You do not abandon those you love. Have you no love for your Creator? Have you no love for He Who gave His life upon earth for you? Have you no love for He Who still sheds His blood for you?" Our Lady, March 18, 1973

VISIT DAILY
"Pray, pray long hours of prayer for those who are falling or who have fallen into the web of deceit and darkness that now covers the earth. You must remain with My Son, through His gift of His heart to you, in the tabernacles of the world. You will not become infiltrated when you develop the daily habit of visiting My Son. He grows lonely. He has been locked out from many hearts." Our Lady, May 10, 1972

SO FEW VISITORS
"Visit My Son often in the tabernacles of your world. He grows very lonely, My children; there are so few visitors now to His House. Won't you come often and solace Him?" Our Lady, June 16, 1973

REMAIN CLOSE
"I repeat, My children, you must eat of the Bread of life to be nourished. That Bread is My Son! He nourishes your eternal soul. Without this Bread of life you will not have the light within you. Remain close to My Son in the tabernacles of the world, for He is very lonely, My child." Our Lady, November 23, 1974

FORGOTTEN BY MANY
"Yes, My child, many shall be tested in the days ahead. You must all, My children, fortify your souls with grace. Graces are given freely for the asking. Come, seek, and you shall find the way. My Son is the way and the light. Will you not console His sorrowing heart at your tabernacles throughout your earth? He grows lonely; He is forgotten by many." Our Lady, December 24, 1975

Crucifix on front and back door... The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84) (Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.) https://www.tldm.org/news/crucifix.htm

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , https://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now! (Order Form) Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it.
    Read the Bible cover to cover. If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days. I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time. A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times. Wow!

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well.
