No difference. If the red candle is burning, He is there. Bishop Fulton Sheen made a holy hour before the Tabernacle each day of his life.

Many of our great holy leaders have done this. I believe John Paul II did this as well. I would love to be able to spend time with Jesus daily! Can you imagine how He would help to fast forward us to holiness?

In the diocese that have multiple parishes with perpetual adoration, they are the diocese have the greatest numbers of young men entering the seminary. Can’t recall when the study was done, but this is a fact.

Thank you to the OP for starting this thread. I’ve often wondered what Adoration was and to be honest, I really don’t recall hearing about it growing up.

So there is no requirement about spending an hour? There’s no requirement of spending an hour, it’s just as your schedule allows?

Yep, as long as there is someone else in Church so that He is not alone, you come and go as you wish. He is always delighted with our company.
 
I went, and I was disappointed. There were a few others there, but there were a lot of little noises that made it impossible for me to feel close to Jesus. One of the people was talking on her cell phone!

I’ve never seen such blatant disrespect from so-called “Catholics.” Maybe I just don’t worship well with others.

Middle of the night is awesome, if you can manage it. The silence facilitates the spirit. A call to the parish office, or a talk with Father might get the adoration rules posted on the door to the chapel, as well as a mention during the announcements at mass. I have seen texting and water bottle chugging. Ugh! It’s not serving time, it is spending time.

I guess I would question these people by asking…“what’s the point”? Cell phones and texting? You can do that anywhere. Yes, if it were an emergency, but??? If there is an emergency, I would think you would leave Church.:confused:
