Adoration

What is Adoration?

Eucharistic Adoration is simply honoring and “adoring” Jesus Christ, present in the Eucharist.  It is an opportunity to enter into prayer and reflection upon the great love of God in giving us His only Son.  Adoration is not a replacement for receiving Christ at Mass, nor are the effects of Adoration the same as the effects of receiving the Eucharist.  However, spending time in the Adoration Chapel is a great way to enter into quiet prayer and contemplation in the presence of Christ, our Lord.
 
"This is the wonderful truth, my dear friends: the Word, which became flesh two thousand years ago, is present today in the Eucharist"- Pope St. John Paul II

“When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now”
- St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent in sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.”- St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
