AN INVITATION TO JOIN US FOR
Eucharistic Adoration in church
Wednesday | June 7
6 pm - 8 pm
WHAT IS ADORATION?
Adoration is worship of the Holy Eucharist outside of Mass. The Most Blessed Sacrament is reserved in a monstrance on the altar for all to see and to pray in the presence of Christ.
WHY SHOULD I GO TO EUCHARISTIC ADORATION?
It is a time for quiet reflection, to have a conversation with God, to pray for help with life’s challenges, or to ask God for more vocations to the Priesthood and religious life.
HOW CAN I BE SUCCESSFUL IN ADORATION?
First of all, be patient. You would think sitting with Jesus would be easy, but sometimes people find it hard to sit still, and to put busy lives on ‘pause’ for a while. Start with five minutes, and work your way toward longer periods of Adoration.
Be okay with silence. It might seem uncomfortable at first, but being silent – especially in the presence of Jesus Christ – is a true gift.
Pray. Start with a Hail Mary, or a Rosary, or just a quiet conversation with God. Bring scripture if you like. There are many prayer books and apps that contain daily scripture readings.
"Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the “King of Glory,” respectful silence in the presence of the “ever greater” God. Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications."
(CCC 2628)
