Do Catholics receive special graces for spending an hour in the presence of the blessed sacrament?

There is a plenary indulgence associated with adoration, as long as the three other requirements of a plenary indulgence are met. Beside that, many graces can arrive via adoring our Lord. Per Francis Cardinal Arinze in his book Celebrating the Holy Eucharist, the Lord is due five things from us, in order:

1. Adoration
2. Praise
3. Thanksgiving
4. Propitiation for our sins
5. Petition.

All who believe in the true presence cannot be in that presence without, at the same time, adoring our Lord. Many miracles have occurred during prayer before our Sacramental Lord. The more you adore Him, the more you will want to adore Him.
