Eucharistic Adoration
ADORATION TIMES
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 9:30 to10:30 AM
Wednesday evening
from 7:00 to 8:00 PM
Adoration is time set aside every Friday morning for the faithful to pray and to honour the Eucharistic presence of Christ, a time when “God and man reach out to each other at the same time”.
The body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ are present in the Sacred Host exposed in the monstrance on the altar, allowing us to contemplate the mystery before us. Spending time with the Blessed Sacrament helps you to grow spiritually and to build your personal relationship with Christ.
Adoration is the most valid and radical remedy against the idolatries of yesterday and today. Kneeling before the Eucharist is a profession of freedom. One who bows to Jesus cannot and must not prostrate himself before any earthly power, no matter how strong.
Pope Benedict XVI
There are no fixed rules for what you must do during adoration. You can sit quietly with Christ or you can pray the Holy Rosary. This is a sacred hour for you to encounter Christ, to be transformed by Christ and to open yourself to His graces and mercy. This deepening of your relationship with Christ will help inspire you and give you the strength you need to carry your own crosses.
Join us at the times indicated above when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for Adoration. In particular, plan ahead for devotions on the First Friday of each month. On First Fridays, exposition and adoration are particularly solemn in order to help us venerate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, also in reparation for those that do not love him or receive him.
In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour."
(Christ to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque)
