WHY ADORATION?

The importance of Eucharistic Adoration is shown in the fact that the Church has a ritual that regulates it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. This is an extension of the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which occurs in every Mass: “Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.” Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church.

IT BUILDS COMMUNITY

Adoration builds community because the Eucharist is the Sacrament of Unity. When one person unites himself with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus brings everyone closer together through the power of His Divine Love.

IT BRINGS PEACE

Pope John Paul II said that the best, most effective, and surest way to bring everlasting peace on earth is through the power of Eucharistic Adoration. Only God has the power to redirect the course of history back to the path of peace, which He promised. The Eucharist brings peace to men’s hearts, and men with peaceful hearts make a peaceful world.

EVERYONE CAN PARTICIPATE

Everyone can participate because the Chapel is open all day, every day . . . you can just walk in and spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

THE WAY TO A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

Adoration helps us to become personally involved with Jesus Christ because it makes the Eucharist a centerpiece of our lives. By spending time with Jesus in the Eucharist, you can establish a truly personal relationship with Him.
