Adoration times are posted on the calendar, and in the bulletin. If you are interested in sitting with Jesus for an hour, please contact the Parish Office or find the sign-up sheet in the Narthex. Drop ins are always welcome!

Adoration is the acknowledgment of God as God, Creator and Savior, the Lord and Master of everything that exists. Through worship and prayer, the Church and individual persons give to God the adoration which is the first act of the virtue of religion. The first commandment of the law obliges us to adore God (2096, 2628; cf. 1083).

An Invitation to Adoration
by Becky Williamson

There is just something very special about Adoration. It’s hard to put into words, but I will try.

I have been going to Adoration each month for 17 years now, and for me, it just centers me on Jesus. I just “feel” Him there! At times when I have felt empty or hurting, I visualize crawling into His lap like a child and letting Him hold me and fill me with His love. The times I have “heard“ His voice, have been at Adoration. One time, I struggled with the belief of the actual presence of Christ in the Eucharist. I lifted this struggle up to the Lord at Adoration and heard “Just believe.” It sounds too simple, doesn’t it? But that’s the answer I needed to hear.

So, come to Adoration. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Adore Him! God will bless you for just showing up. But the grace will result in the closer relationship that you develop from the one on one time with the Lord. And, as I have said before in the monthly Adoration reminders, “Come. He will be waiting for you with open arms!”
