Eucharistic Adoration
Eucharistic Adoration is being in the presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament - the real living Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Consecrated Host.
When you enter the church or chapel at St. John's, you can tell He is present in the Tabernacle when the candle is burning. We adore Jesus simply to be with Him, talk with Him, and to establish or continue a friendship with Jesus. We "talk" to Jesus. We tell Him what is on our minds and in our hearts.
Everyone adores a little differently - reading from a spiritual book or the Bible, praying with the Rosary, meditating or simply being with Him. Don't forget to be silent so when He speaks to you, He will be "heard." He may place the answer within your thoughts, through the Bible, or maybe He will just be with you in silence.
Many people leave with a joyful smile, peace-filled heart, or a bit less sad if that is where they were at that time.
You don't need to sign up, just come as you are, ready to be present with our God. Oh, and don't forget to thank Jesus. He appreciates that too.
Weekly Adoration is offered Thursdays following the 8:15 am Mass & Rosary, until 8 p.m. in the Chapel.
