I asked this last night but haven’t received a reply. Perhaps the thread has been forgotten. 
Anyway, I read the link someone posted about Adoration. Our parish had Adoration weekly and I gain much peace when I go. What do the following quotes from the provided link mean, exactly? I thought that we, as Catholics, don’t subscribe to the End Times thing and believe no one knows when that time will come but the Lord. It could be tomorow, it could be millions of years from now. Am I wrong?

<<<<<<The Eucharist in the New Millennium
The regular practice of Eucharistic adoration, which perpetual adoration fosters, must be at the root of our response. It enables us to respond to the Holy Father’s call with “generosity and holiness.” It fills our hearts with “new attitudes of humility, generosity and openness to purifying grace.” It will prepare us for the “new evangelization” which wiil help to restore all things in Christ. Pope John Paul II, in a letter commemorating the 750th anniversary of the first celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi, made this powerful statement: “Through adoration the Christian mysteriously contributes to the radical transformation of the world and to the sowing of the Gospel.”
In his encyclical letter on the Eucharist, Dominicae cenae, Pope John Paul II said: “May our adoration never cease.” That is what perpetual adoration is: adoration that never ceases. So let us continue to work hard for the spread of perpetual adoration, so that our Holy Father’s wish for perpetual adoration in every parish in the world may be fulfilled and that Christians of this millennium may witness the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Eucharistic Reign of Christ. >>>>>>>>>>
<<<<<<<<<The Eucharistic Reign in Scripture and Tradition
Where did the idea of a Eucharistic Reign of Christ come from? We started to hear much about it as the last millennium came to an end and the new one ushered in. Is is something mentioned only in private revelations? Is it a revamping of the heresy of Chiliasm, which states that Christ will reign physically on the earth for a literal thousand years before the end of time? Is it simply wishful thinking provoked by the sad state of the world? Why does the Holy Father have such high hopes for the new millennium, talking about a "new springtime of Christian life "? How is Rev. 20:1-5 to be interpreted?
Fr. Joseph lannuzzi, OSJ sheds light on these questions in his book The Triumph of God’s Kingdom in the Millennium and End Times: A Proper Bellef from the Truth in Scripture and Church Teachings (St. John the Evangelist Press: 222 S. Manoa Rd., Havertown, PA 19083, 1999). He argues from the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, from the Magisterium, and from Sacred Scripture that there will be a flowering of Christ’s kingdom on earth which will last for a period of time, not necessarily a literal thousand years, during which Christ will reign gloriously on earth, not physically, but in the Eucharist. During this period he says that the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus will “cultivate in the faithful a spirit of intense adoration and worship never before seen.” Perhaps the spread of perpetual adoration we are seeing is a sign of more to come! >>>>>>>>>>
