Top Reasons To Begin Adoration

Top Three Reasons To Begin Eucharistic Adoration

- Adoration gives you the opportunity to sit in ‘silence’ and listen to God.  The language of God is ‘silence’.  If we can learn to hear God in the silence, then we can hear and see and taste and smell and touch God in everything.
- Adoration helps us rely on the Holy Spirit and live a life of obedience in prayer.  We are transformed from someone asking for a sign, to someone seeking sight through understanding.  Adoration helps to maintain a daily prayer practice the rest of the week.
- Adoration softens the Human Condition and helps us grow spiritually.  As you spend more time in Adoration God begins to communicate with you on a more profound level than that of the five senses.  God’s word moves from your ‘head’ to your ‘heart’.

Jesus delights in being with us.  Eucharistic Adoration is a beautiful way to sit in his presence and improve our relationship with him.  People willing to commit an hour a week to Adoration are always needed.  Think about it … It’s truly a ‘win-win’ that you can take with you to eternity.

“We should spend as much time thanking God for his benefits as we do asking for them.”

    St Vincent de Paul

God Waits For You

He Waits For You!

Many people visit the Adoration Chapel to be able to sit quietly in the Presence of God and experience the solace of the surroundings during normal activities of the day.  Some adorers are ‘committed’; as such they have volunteered for a specific time each week.  You don’t have to be a ‘committed’ adorer to spend time in the chapel; you can visit when your schedule permits.  No matter when you go He is waiting for you and wants to hear about your life, your joys, your sorrows.  In His presence it’s a good time to recall how He was insulted, publicly humiliated, and suffered for us to save us from eternal damnation.  This is a time we can thank Him for what He did, tell Him how much we love Him, and give Him thanks for all the graces and blessings He gives us.  It is a time we can talk to Him as a friend who always has time to listen.

Adoration helps us grow through silence.  While sitting in his presence we grow spiritually and it doesn’t take long to experience these changes positively affecting our lives.  These changes improve our relationship with God, and as our relationship improves we find ourselves wanting to spend more time in His presence, and we begin looking for additional opportunities for chapel time.

Pope Francis in a recent Angelus said, “Through silence and prayer, we make space for Jesus”.

The Ease Of Spiritual Growth

 Spiritual Growth Doesn’t Have To Be Hard

“Many Catholics believe in Christ but don't relate to him as a best friend. Adoration allows us to know Christ intimately, to develop that brotherly relationship with him. Adoration provides a rich and simple way of being accessible to the presence of Christ.”  (Mark Hart)

We all can improve our relationship with Christ, and a proven recommended way is to spend time in His presence.  It doesn’t have to be a marathon, it can be a short visit because God rewards every moment we dedicate to being in His presence.  Simply by showing up and sitting quietly is His presence we grow spiritually.
