Adoration Etiquette

[Lighthouse2000]

Are there any certain etiquettes to follow in Adoration? My question is, do you acknowledge someone who is there for their volunteered hour or are we meant to be left in our own prayers? I went into one once and felt a bit awkward when people were already there. I stayed for a short time and left. I know many stay for an hour but is there any specific time frame we should devote?

 

[Catholic1954]

It is best not to disturb the others at adoration. There is no required amount of time you have to stay there; the regulars are usually scheduled for one hour each, but you can stay as long as you like.

If a person who is at Adoration makes eye contact with you upon entering, it is fine to acknowledge them with a head nod. It is not appropriate to strike up a conversation though. God wants us to be present in community.
