Eucharistic Adoration

A friend will visit a friend…in like manner make visits to Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.Saint Mary Magdalene de Pazzi

Eucharistic exposition is a complete liturgical service for the adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.  Normally the consecrated host is kept in a tabernacle.  During Eucharist Adoration it is placed on the altar in a monstrance to be venerated; to be kept company by the faithful for visitation, contemplative prayer and meditation. Adoration is a sacred time to keep Vigil with the Lord; to spend quiet time with Him.

Sanctity of Life

My God, we adore You here in the Blessed Sacrament.  As we kneel before You, we recognize You as the Creator of all Life. We thank You and praise You for the lives you have given to us and to those we love. Give us a true and lasting respect for all life, for we recognize it as coming from You. We pray for all who have suffered or died as a result of disrespect whether that suffering and death has come as a result of abuse, war, gossip, or abortion. We pray for an end for all disrespect of life. As we kneel before You we ask You to forgive all those who do not respect the sanctity of life. We repeat the words you spoke as you hung on the cross, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’

Are you called to sit with the Lord?
