The main purpose of adoration is to spend time with God and deepen our relationship with Him. Some choose to kneel, others may sit, still others may pray traditional prayers (Rosary, chaplets, prayers, etc.) or sit in solitude and speak, or listen, with their hearts. There are pamphlets, prayers books, and meditation books available during Adoration to aid in making your Holy Hour fruitful. There are many ways to pray and to be with Him!            

“Adoration is …acknowledging that [man] is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil.
Adoration is homage of the spirit to the “King of Glory,” respectful silence in the presence of the ‘ever greater’ God. Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2628).
“The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the Eucharist…adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it…exposing [the consecrated host] to the solemn veneration of the faithful…” (Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei 56).
Pope John Paul II wrote, “The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making our adoration never cease” (Dominicae cenae 3).
