Eucharistic Adoration



What is Eucharistic Adoration?
Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honouring 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. 
In its fullest essence ... Eucharistic Adoration is "God and Man reaching out for each other, at the same time!"
The Eucharist is: Jesus truly present - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity!

Chaplet of The Blessed Sacrament


The Chaplet was approved on May 30, 1911 by Pope Pius X. The Holy Father has granted to the entire world 300 days indulgence each time the above prayer is recited.

How to pray the Chaplet of the Blessed Sacrament

This Chaplet consists of a medal of the Blessed Sacrament or Chalice and host centre and 33 beads. The 33 beads represent the 33 years of Christ's life on earth.

On the medal make a spiritual communion:


"As I cannot now receive Thee, my Jesus,
in Holy Communion, come,
spiritually into my heart,
and make it Thine own forever."

On each bead say:

"Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament on the altar have mercy on us!" This is a version of the Jesus prayer.
