Eucharistic Adoration: Spend time with Our Lord

St. John Paul II once wrote, “The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it but also by praying before it outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very wellspring of grace” (“Ecclesia de Eucharistia,” 25). We are all encouraged to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament.

Many of our churches offer Eucharistic Adoration on specific days each week or month, and several offer Perpetual Adoration.

“In his apostolic letter inaugurating the Year of the Eucharist, Pope John Paul II asked that we maintain a sense of Eucharistic amazement in the Church, that we allow ourselves to be amazed – to be in awe and in wonder – at the miracle of the Holy Eucharist. Eucharistic Adoration is an integral part of expressing the Catholic faith in the Eucharist. We have the celebration of the Mass, and we have Eucharistic processions, but an equally valid expression of our faith in the Real Presence is the silent adoration of Our Lord, when we allow Him to speak to us and move us.”
