Eucharistic Adoration

“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. Be assiduous in the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light particularly to those who are suffering."

+ Pope Benedict XVI, Address, 25 May 2006

“Here I suffered internally more than in the rest of my Passion because I was totally alone, abandoned from heaven and earth, burdened with the sins of humanity… So that you may join me in the humble prayer that I presented to my Father, in the midst of all that anguish, you will get up between eleven and midnight, and you will prostrate yourself in adoration for an hour with me,” Jesus told the saint.

- Margaret Mary Alacoque

“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.

+ Pope St. John Paul II, Dominicae cenae, 3.
