022. A Dedicated Hour: Exploring Catholic Practices of Adoration

Adoration. What is it? Why should you go? What can you expect when there. And what do you do while there? In this episode, we share our own journeys from apprehension and uncertainty to developing a devotion for this dedicated way of spending time with Christ, in prayer and worship.

Snippet from the Show:

“Well, the simplest form of telling you what is adoration is that we're spending time with Jesus. We're visiting with Jesus. Adoration is when we go and we sit and we are in loving admiration with complete devotion to Christ as he exists in the form of the Blessed Sacrament on the altar.” - Shelly

“In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the host. He is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering.” – Pope Benedict XVI

Scripture:

“When he returned to his disciples he found them asleep. He said to Peter, “So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?” – Matthew 26:40

“And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy...” – Luke 24:52
