It is sad to realize that as so many believe Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament, they so seldom visit Him. Men travel across the oceans to see ancient ruins, paintings, landscapes, celebrities, and mountains, but they do not think of going into a simple church around the corner to visit the Creator of all beauty.

Adoration is a quiet time spent in prayer before Jesus, present in the Eucharist. A Consecrated Host is placed in the center of a sacred vessel called a Monstrance. The word Monstrance means "to show." The Monstrance is then set in a very special place for all to see and worship. Jesus truly is present body, blood, soul and divinity in the Consecrated Host or "Blessed Sacrament."
The Catechism quotes Pope John Paul II: "The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this 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 amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease." (CCC, 1380)
Every vocation in the Church comes from and through Christ Jesus. It is He who calls. Spending time in Eucharistic Adoration with our Divine Lord and Friend is a good place to go to ask what He wants with our life. Why not spend some time each week in adoration, in union, in contemplation of the Lord present in the Eucharist?
As a form of respect, you should always genuflect when you see the Lord in the Host, maintain an attitude of respect, and if others are present, silence.
Kneeling, sitting, standing, and even laying on the floor before the Blessed Sacrament are all appropriate forms of prayer. Let your posture reflect your worship of the King and do what is comfortable for you.
You really don’t have to “do” anything during Adoration. You can just sit there and look at Jesus. Take the time to be with Him. If you are the only person in the chapel, don’t be afraid to pray or sing aloud. This is your personal time with Christ.
Information from CatholicLink.com
"Adoration calls us into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. During this time, we can listen to His will for our lives, be drawn more deeply into the mysteries of the Eucharist, and have renewed vigor for our mission of bringing Christ to the world. I firmly believe that Adoration is one of the most powerful ways to meet, know, and love Christ so that we may serve Him in the community of Hartland and beyond."
- Fr. Ken Omernick, Parishioner Adoration Letter, March 2023
