When you’re in the presence of the Eucharist, you are really in the presence of Jesus. We can spend time with Jesus in the Eucharist at Mass, but there are also special opportunities during Eucharistic Adoration–and these opportunities will deepen your faith and change your life!

What is Eucharistic Adoration?

Eucharistic Adoration is when you spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
During this time, you can pray in whatever way you want, bringing Jesus your needs, desires, fears, regrets, and more.

How to Pray During Eucharistic Adoration

There is no wrong way to pray during adoration! You can talk to God about your personal intentions, read a book, seek spiritual guidance, or simply offer thanksgiving and adoration to God. It’s a great time to practice Lectio Divina (slowly reading a passage, pausing, rereading the passage, pausing, reading the same page again, asking God to share His desires), prepare for the upcoming Sunday by reading the Gospel (taking a Breaking Bread missalette) ahead of time, or meditating on the Rosary. Even just sitting in silence and allowing for God’s presence to wash over you is an appropriate way to spend time in adoration! The important part of adoration is to spend time with the One you love!
