Adoration question

[InLight247]

Try prostrating if you dare.

I started to prostrate on the side isle lately and it is just awesome. Last night I prostrated for one whole hour with my face down to the ground and prayed. After getting up and sitting on the pew continuing to pray, tears naturally fell down and I wept. That was indeed tears of cleansing. I felt so close to Jesus, physically spiritually and emotionally.

Actually, I’ve brought my novels in to ask Jesus to help me make them glorify Him and help others to know Him.

Pope JPII used to write in front of the Blessed Sacrament.

this is one of my favorite lists - consider this your personal audience with the Lord - be comfortable (physically) and pour your heart out to Jesus who loves you. Be sure to save time to just listen…

There used to be a thing called 40 Hours at my old high school, where it was 40 straight hours of adoration… an amazing thing! Anyway, I remember the chaplain (who is a very cool person by the way) telling everyone that they could kneel or sit, pray the rosary or contemplate, or even do homework in there as long as they were mindful of Our Lord’s presence.

you should go down on both kneels and bow low.

thank you so much… I didn’t even know that before today… now I can finally do it right, I’m so glad I found this thread so I could learn about this.
