Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Eucharistic Adoration is spending time with Jesus Christ who is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist.  The consecrated Host is displayed (Eucharistic Exposition) in a holder called a monstrance for adoration.

Everyone is welcome to come before Our Lord Jesus Christ during Eucharistic Adoration. Bring your children, they are our future adorers.  Jesus said, “Let the children come to Me and do not hinder them: for such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” (Mt 19:14) Invite family, neighbors, and friends to join you.  Your joy with the Lord may be what others are looking for.

There is no set amount of time that one must stay at Adoration.  Please feel welcome to drop in to say a quick hello to Jesus.  Do not underestimate the graces that will come from any visit.  Regularly scheduled adorers are asked to commit to a one-hour time to ensure that our Lord is never left unaccompanied.

Faithful adorers commit to adoring for an hour or more - generally each week.  This is crucial since Christ displayed in the monstrance must never be left alone.  Adorers enable Eucharistic exposition for any and all persons wanting to make a shorter visit to the Lord.

You can use the WeAdoreHim system to send a request available substitutes. Available adorers will receive a text or email of your request or, you may contact one of the Shift Captains.  That person will draw from a list of substitutes to locate a person who will fill in for you.

Yes.  People move and some people just want or need a different time.  You may log into the Adoration site at:  https://munciecatholic.com/adoration and update your commitment at any time.

If you are willing to stay, you are welcome to stay.  If you need to leave, please phone the Captain assigned to that particular hour of the day.  As a last resort, you can also call the Pastorate Office (765) 288-5308.

Spending time with Jesus leads us in the direction of holiness.  He is with us in our joys and sufferings.  While He never promised to take away suffering, He did promise to be with us during difficult times.  As we spend time with Jesus we come to trust and rely on Him more and more.

Let the Holy Spirit guide you.  This is your personal time with Jesus.  There are no set prayers.  After entering the chapel, genuflect on one knee or two, if you cannot genuflect a simple bow.   You may offer a prayer of Adoration to begin your Holy Hour.  You may sit or kneel.  Spend this time contemplating that you are in the presence of God.  Converse with Him.  You can read available spiritual books, pray the rosary, or spend time just talking with Jesus. There are blessed rosaries and a variety of reading materials for your convenience.

You may desire to offer your Holy Hour for a special intention. Spiritual Bouquet cards are available on the table that you may send to whomever you are praying for.  Prayer Petitions can be made by writing them on the “Prayer Petition” page in the prayer intentions book.

You can add your name to be a substitute as needed.  If one is needed, you will be notified by text or email requesting help.  Of course, Adoration is always open so even if you are not signed up, come and spend time with the Lord.

Children are most welcome to come spend time with our Lord in prayer!  We have child friendly hours set for Sundays from 4:00-6:00 PM.  

We recommend that each regularly scheduled sign-up for an account to make a commitment.  This will make it easier to request a substitute in the event that one spouse is not able to attend a given hour.
