Starting in October we're offering Eucharistic Adoration all day on Tuesdays and we're looking for people to come and adore the Lord!
What is Eucharistic Adoration?
Eucharistic Adoration is spending time with Jesus Christ who is truly present, Body, Blood and Soul in the Holy Eucharist. The consecrated Host is displayed in a holder called a monstrance for adoration.
What am I committing to?
Adorers commit to adoring Jesus for one hour every Tuesday. This is crucial since Jesus, displayed in the monstrance, must never be left alone. These Adorers enable us to have Eucharistic Adoration all day on Tuesdays and make it possible for any and all people to come by and visit Jesus in the Eucharist during that time.
Who can come to Adoration?
Everyone is welcome to come before Our Lord Jesus Christ during Eucharistic Adoration. Invite friends and classmates to join you. Your joy for the Lord may be what others are looking for.
How do I spend my Hour at Adoration? What should I do while I’m there?
Let the Holy Spirit guide you. This is your personal time with Jesus. There are no set prayers. After entering church, genuflect on one knee or two. If you cannot genuflect, a simple bow will suffice. You may offer a prayer of Adoration to begin your Holy Hour. You may sit or kneel. Spend this time contemplating that you are in the presence of God. Converse with Him. You can read Scripture or spiritual books, journal, pray the rosary or spend time just talking with Jesus. It’s not about what you do, but who you are with.
As Father John Ricardo says, “Just waste some time with Him.” If God was not behind the veil of the Eucharist, what would you do? Christ says we are no longer servants but friends, so simply spend some time with your friend. He loves you and is calling you.
