WHAT IS ADORATION?
It is a practice in the Catholic faith in which the Blessed Sacrament is adored by the faithful.
The visit to the Blessed Sacrament is a great treasure of the Catholic faith. It nourishes social love and give us opportunities for adoration and thanksgiving, for reparation and supplication.
St. Alphonsus Liquori wrote: “of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest AFTER the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before it outside of Mass, we are enabled to make contact with the very wellsprings of Grace.”
How do I spend my time in Adoration? When you enter you genuflect, kneel or bow before the sacrament. It is a time of silence spent in personal prayer, reading the Bible or other spiritual books. Pray the rosary or just sit in silence and listen for God to speak to you – sometimes we spend too much time talking and not enough time listening.
Adoration is held every Tuesday in the day chapel from 1-6 pm.
