Sitting with the Lord

Eucharistic Adoration is the practice of praying before the Blessed Sacrament — the consecrated host — which Catholics believe to be the true Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ.

During adoration, the host is placed in a monstrance on the altar, and the faithful are invited to simply sit, pray, read Scripture, or rest in silence in the presence of Christ.

You don't need to say or do anything special. You just come as you are.

"The most important hour of your life is the hour you spend before the Blessed Sacrament."

— Bl. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"Every holy hour you make is worth more than a thousand hours occupied with yourself."

— St. John Vianney

"Let us remain as long as possible in the company of Jesus. What a happiness to be thus allowed to remain near Him!"

— St. Peter Julian Eymard, Apostle of the Eucharist
