“Pause before the tabernacle by yourself, for no special reason, even without saying a word, simply remaining in Christ’s presence, contemplating the supreme gesture of love contained in the consecrated Bread.”
– Pope John Paul II (April 1995)
Eucharistic Adoration is a ministry where the Most Blessed Sacrament, our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, is placed in a Monstrance and adored. One person must remain at all times in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the Monstrance.
Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ. In a deeper sense, it involves “the contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us.” During Eucharistic Adoration, we “watch and wait,” we remain “silent” in His Presence and open ourselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist…by worshiping the Eucharistic Jesus, we become what God wants us to be. Like a magnet, the Lord draws us to Himself and gently transforms us.
The Adoration Chapel is available 24/7. To get the door code, contact the Rectory at 314-771-1228.
