    Deepening Your Relationship with Jesus

    In this episode of the Corpus Christi Parish Podcast, we celebrate the gift of our Perpetual Adoration Chapel with Tom and Mary Morris, a married couple who have faithfully spent an hour each week in adoration together since the chapel opened two years ago. Tom and Mary share how their time before the Blessed Sacrament has deepened their relationship with Christ, transformed their prayer lives, brought greater peace into their daily lives, and even inspired their children and grandchildren to discover the beauty of adoration. They also offer practical insights for couples who want to begin praying together and share some of the ways they personally spend their time in the chapel—from Scripture and the Rosary to journaling, sacred reading, and simply sitting quietly with the Lord. This heartfelt conversation is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most profound fruits of prayer are found in the quiet, ordinary moments when we simply make time to be with Jesus.
