On Thursday evening, Oct. 13<sup>th<\/sup>, the Green and the Eucharist intersected as Jesus in the Eucharist was worshiped and adored by hundreds of the Seton Hall faithful in the first ever \u201cPack the Green.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For several years, the Office of Campus Ministry and Immaculate Conception Seminary have co-sponsored periodic evenings referred to as \u201cPack the Chapel,\u201d the goal of which has been to fill the University Chapel for Eucharistic Holy Hours. These are opportunities to worship and pray before Jesus Christ during Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Last week, rather than doing this in the University Chapel, Jesus visited the Green for an hour of praise and worship music, Scripture reading, and prayerful silence, concluding with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.<\/p>\n<p>It was truly a grace-filled evening as Jesus, through whom all creation came to be, was Present in the Eucharist and was surrounded by His own creation on the Green: the trees, the grass, and the flowers, all of it under the stars and moonlight. Many members of the Seton Hall community were inspired by this beautiful event, made possible by our Creator.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0064-315x210.jpg\" alt=\"img_0064\" width=\"315\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0064-315x210.jpg 315w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0064-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0064-750x500.jpg 750w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0064.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/>Among the worshipers was Eugenia Audrey, who said, \u201cBeing with so many people adoring God was so amazing. It was inspiring to see people immersed in prayer.\u201d James Gephardt was impressed by \u201cthe sense of unity and community among the students of Seton Hall and the seminarians who came together to praise Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. That was awesome.\u201d For Ally Greco, it was a combination of factors that made the evening so powerful. She said, \u201cThe music, the different readings from the Bible, having the time to yourself in silence, everything worked perfectly together allowing me to focus on my prayer to God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/\u2022-St.-Theresa-of-calcutta-\u2022-210x210.png\" alt=\"%e2%80%a2-st-theresa-of-calcutta-%e2%80%a2\" width=\"201\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/\u2022-St.-Theresa-of-calcutta-\u2022-210x210.png 210w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/\u2022-St.-Theresa-of-calcutta-\u2022-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/\u2022-St.-Theresa-of-calcutta-\u2022-768x768.png 768w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/\u2022-St.-Theresa-of-calcutta-\u2022-500x500.png 500w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/\u2022-St.-Theresa-of-calcutta-\u2022.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/>While the cooler weather means that there won\u2019t be another \u201cPack the Green\u201d until Spring, the Office of Campus Ministry will continue to offer monthly \u201cPack the Chapel\u201d Holy Hours. The next one is scheduled for November 10<sup>th<\/sup>. The same Jesus who appeared on the Green will also appear at every subsequent \u201cPack the Chapel,\u201d though it\u2019s not even necessary to wait for \u201cPack the Chapel\u201d to visit Jesus in the Eucharist. There is Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the University Chapel every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 12:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-91 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0196-1-321x210.jpg\" alt=\"Fr-Brian-Needles\" width=\"249\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0196-1-321x210.jpg 321w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0196-1-768x502.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0196-1-765x500.jpg 765w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/campusministry\/files\/2016\/10\/IMG_0196-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/>Rev.
