When we are in Eucharistic Adoration, are the Angels and Saints present with us as they are at Mass?

Yes. In fact you should set a little space aside where you are sitting for your guardian angel to sit, just as Sister Mary Eucharistica taught you.

While I would not deny the presence of the angels and the saints at Eucharistic Adoration, I very much like this note which appeared in our bulletin to encourage people to make visits during a recent 40-hours adoration:
Consider that when the Sacred Host is publically exposed, Jesus is not on the altar to receive the adoration of the angels & the saints. These he finds in Heaven! He is present in the parish church to receive YOUR adoration & to listen to YOUR confidences & to console YOUR sorrows and trials.

While it is true that Jesus Christ is present in the Most Blessed Sacrament for the purpose of being in Eucharistic Adoration from His faithful, the Angels and Saints are yes super-abundently present to Adore Him, and yes He does too find this Heaven. Angelic and Sanctoral Adoration of Christ Jesus is quite of another brand compared to the mortal adoration of Him. We whom adore Him in Eucharistic Adoration are tainted creatures stained by original sin, and while having immortal souls, are corporeally mortal. The Angels and Saints Whom authentically behold and Adore Him in Eucharistic Adoration are not only immortal and sinless, but of an unspeakably superior Order in the scheme of Creation to humans.

I’m sure they would be…if you asked them. But I think they like to be asked. (That was an opinion.)
And your Guardian Angel will ALWAYS be with you.

Well there are at least the number of angels present as there are people, since everyone’s guardian angel is with him.Yes. In fact you should set a little space aside where you are sitting for your guardian angel to sit, just as Sister Mary Eucharistica taught you.
But you don’t need to worry about leaving space for your angel since he is pure spirit and does not take up space.

“Atleast the number of people present” is a grave understatement. 
I know what you meant though, I don’t mean to critique you! It might be properly expounded for example that whenever a singular Spirit is invoked, say Saint Jude Thaddaus, that it is not just He, but all of the Saints that are actually present though you are naturally addressing solely that specific Saint. Where I am going with this is, during every Holy Mass and during every Eucharistic Adoration there infinite Hosts of Angels there to Adore the Paschal Sacrifice under the guise of Bread. Since the Most Blessed Trinity, together with all of the Angels, all of the Saints, all of the Blesseds, all of the Venerables, all of the Servants Of God, are with all of the souls in Heaven and in Purgatory conjoined inseperably to us, the saints, the faithful on Earth. In this, the “Communion Of The Saints,” wherever one is, the lot is. This though shouldn’t be confused with the suffering cleansing of Purgatory having any presence in Heaven, for this is a supernatural boundry that can’t be crossed. Heaven has power over the fires and domain of Purgatory to which the souls therein are conjoined, but the just, righteous Purgatorial wrath has no influence upon Heaven.

I have heard, that at each Mass… we participate in the Holy Sacrifice… amid a multitude of Angels.
I would tend to believe, also… that there are always Angels in attendance, at Adoration. God bless.

Yes it is that we too participate in the Most Holy Sacrifice Of The Sacramental Mass. This might be hard for non-Roman Catholics, and even some Latin Catholics themselves, to grasp since it is not manually the parishoners, but rather the Royal Priests whom offer the Sacrifice. I imagine it could be explained as, as our Royal Priesthood is of hierarchical descent from the Apostles via Apostolic Succession, and as the Apostles and Christ Jesus Himself as the Eternal-High Priest were the spiritual and hierarchical descendents from the Order Of Melchiz’edek, corporeal Sacrifice has always been necessitated throughout both the Old and New Covenants as unique gesture for the supreme, infinite “Latrian” adoration due only to God. But as the Priests sacrifice the Offerings of the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus in atonement for sins, the salvation of souls, “Latria” worship, and for the good of the Western Church, we as parishoners are present to not only partake of the Body & Blood of Christ, but also to join ourselves with the Priests and with the Angels religiously, spiritually, and intellectually to the Sacrific Offering. Further, it is the very Angels Whom receive the Transubstantiated Sacrifices and transport Them from the Altar to the Father. Thank you for your kind words and God bless you the same!

FTR: I repeat my statement of a year and a half ago: I would not deny the presence of angels and saints at Eucharistic Adoration.
But in case more than poetic license is involved below, I do have these to say:

But washed in the waters of baptism.
For a time. But we, together with the saints, anticipate the resurrection of our glorified bodies.
The saints *are *humans (and one day, we may all hope to be saints), nor am I sure all would agree that the angels are intrinsically superior.

I did not intend to denounce or correct any item of what you said a year or over a year ago. Of course we are washed in Baptism if Christianly-birthed, that is from Christian families, but never the less we still all commit sin and unethicalness in life is what I intended to mean.
“I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins.”_
Nicene Creed
This is the well-professed intent and purpose of Baptism, but through our lives we are still subject to and left vulnerable to Satanic and demonic temptations, and the results of the fall of man. We are not Angels nor are we “Saints,” though we may be “saints” in the other context of Baptized believers on Earth. Our bodies surely await the glorified state as you say.
“And I look for the Resurrection Of The Body.”_
Nicene Creed
But still while we are here prior to the Second Coming are corporeal, material bodies are left degradable to the powers of sin that may come in disease or the like, and to the erosion that comes with advanced age and expiration. I am speaking strictly of pre-Second Coming. So in this context again, we are not Angels nor Saints, though we may be “saints.” The discussion of the Saints, and more so the Angels, deeply frightens me. We believers on Earth are “saints,” and the souls of saved believers residing in Heaven are “saints.” However, the entity of Canonized “Saints” is another topic, and indeed many “Saints” are not officially Canonized. “Saints” are Spirits that are dramatically at variance with what we are “saints.” “Saints” are of an entirely different Order of Creation as I said, dramatically subordinate to the Angels, and still drastically superior to “saints” in Heaven, whom themselves, being in Heaven and free from sin, are still above the “saints” here on Earth. “Saints” are the Orders of Patriarchs, Confessors, Virgins, Apostles, Prophets, Martyrs, and are Bi-Locationists, Levitators, Stigmatists, and Holy Men and Women of superior Christian heroism and virtue, now operating as Guardians, Protectors, and Patrons of humanity with God, given the Divinely grandted abilities to Intervene and influence the Earthly realm. This is why the maticulous process of the “Veneration, Beatification, Canonization Proceedure” is undertaken by the Holy See and Congratio Pro Causis Sanctorum, for it is a serious circumstance of spirituality that has to be proven primally through these proceedures. That some would argue that the Angels are “intrinsically superior,” whomever they are, is what I meant frightens me most here. My Methodist convert cousins from Anglicanism hold this folly that even we mortals hold command over Angels, a disgusting, abominable, detestable heresy. I even gringed listening the other week to a Roman Catholic Priest rambling-on through two consecutive Masses of how we humans are the “summit of God’s Creation.” This is a catastrophical misinterpretation, flying against the Holy Bible, Sacred Tradition, Official Magisterial Church Teachings, and 2,000 years of Christian Church history. The Nine-Angelic Choirs (Seraphim, Cherubim, Archangels, Thrones, Principalities, Dominations, Virtues, Powers, Angels) are not even to be compared to mankind, even the lowest of the Choirs, the Angels, being a level above mankind not even speakable. Guardian Angels are also a Order within the Heavenly Angelic Hierarchy. I suppose the assumption that man is equivalent to or superior to Angels comes from the fact that we have immortal souls, are the dwelling-temples of the Holy Ghost, and are created in the Image and Likeness of God. Surely, we are the “summit” of the Earthly realm, but purely the terrestrial “summit.” God fashioned us in His Own Image and Likeness to be the rulers over the inferior animalian and botanical realms and His creation of Earth, giving us non-abolishable souls to live and operate with Him forever. But Angels are immortal, indestructable Beings that existed from the dawn of Creation. They are Lords and Rulers over us.

Yes,
I didn’t realize until after reading the book “St. Michael and the Angels: A month with St. Michael and the Holy Angels” by “Compiled from approved Sources”, that Guardians Angel are real and help us daily.
I love that book. I try to re-read it periodically to keep me on track.

I am glad you read it! Absolutely Guardian Angels are a major force within our daily lives. Not only are They Guardians and Protectors, but also like I had said previously, Advocates, Mediators, and Co-Redeemers. Each and every Latin Catholic by Official Magisterial Ecclesiastical Teachings is obligated to have a solid Devotion and high-“Dulia” worship of his/her Guardian Angel, though unfortunately this Teaching is not mandated enough. The Guardian Angelic Order resides in the lowest of the Nine-Angelic Choirs, the Angels. Also, build a strong Devotion and high-“Dulia” worship to your biological Mother’s Guardian Angel and Archangel Gabriel, for They were there at your sowing in your Mother’s womb.
