What is Eucharistic Adoration?
What do you actually do during adoration?
It is a unique opportunity to pray before
the very presence of Our Lord, exposed
in the monstrance. It means that you
can have some time in the real
presence of the Lord, to recite your
favorite prayers, read the bible,
contemplate acts of faith, hope, charity,
thanksgiving, reparation, pray a rosary
or do whatever type of prayerful
devotion that suits you, before Our
Lord. It is also a unique opportunity for
families to come together and spend
some quiet time with the Lord as a
family.

He is present in the gathered assembly as they pray and
sing, for Christ promised “where two or three are gathered
together in my name am I in the midst of them” (Mt 18:20).
He is present in the person of the priest who offers the
sacrifice of the Mass. Christ is also present in His Word,
since it is He Himself who speaks when the holy scriptures
are read in the Church. But it is through the Eucharistic
elements (bread & wine) that Christ is most present to us.
Through the prayers of the priest, (Take this all of you and
eat it, this is my body… ; Take this all of you and drink from
it, this is the cup of my blood…) the bread and wine which
we offer as the bloodless sacrifice to our Lord, truly
become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. It is
His true Presence in the form of bread and wine. It is Christ.
Adoration is when the priest or deacon takes a
consecrated host, and places it in a monstrance
(monstrance comes from the Latin "monstrare" - to show)
then places it on the altar for adoration.
