Just wanted to share:D,

I’ve recently stopped going to a Episcopal church and started to go to a Catholic Church. I attended my first rcia inquiry session yesterday and today I met with the director of religious education. Before I left she brought me to see the almost 24-hour adoration chapel(closed Saturday nights) that I didn’t even know they had and when I went in and saw Jesus in the monstrance I was overcome with happiness. I had never seen Eucharistic adoration in real life only on EWTN. I knelt and prayed for a few minutes before we left. I thanked God for giving me this opportunity.

Please pray for me to continue my journey to the Catholic Church:)
 
Beautiful ! Sounds like you’re already pointed in the right direction.!
 
I must warn you that devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament can become habit forming! Give yourself to Him and you will experience miracles. Supernatural, unexplainable things that will almost take your breath away.
 
Keep coming back, God always gives you the time spent with him back to you.
It is a time I truly treasure. One can never be weary in His Presence.
 
Praying for your continued growth in this wonderful faith. I still am brought to tears whenever i am in HIS presence in Adoration.
 
👍 My prayers are with you

Thank you for posting this wonderful update!
I’ve got a huge smile on my face! 😃

Did you see the movie The Ten Commandments?
Did you see the scene where Moses approaches the burning bush, and the bush speaks to him? Awesome scene. Picture that the next time you go. 👍

Edit: I found the clip. Still gives me chills!

Looking forward to more updates. 😃
 
I am so happy for you! Eucharistic Adoration is a wonderful time for prayer, and worship. The first time I went, I was filled with joy. I know it sounds quite odd, but I was. I will most definitely keep you in my prayers! Continue to go when you can, even if you can only stay for a few minutes. I wish you the very best!
 
oohh I know exactly how you feel!!! I once went to an event in a church…and bam my life after that completely changed!! I felt this profound inner peace and love flowing from my heart!! Later found out we were all participating in Eucharistic adoration!!!

Loving Christ, your presence in the Eucharistic has changed our lives forever. Please continue to shower this person with your love, guidance, comfort, inner peace, and protection!

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
Hi all,

I have a strange question. I have been doing Adoration since Sept, 2012. My first time at Adoration I also felt peace and joy. I guess what I am asking is are you suppose to say or think of anything special, like a prayer? I know that you bow, kneel, etc. out of respect but I am not sure if anything is suppose to be said. I was at Adoration tonight as I go every Tuesday evening.

The point is to adore your Lord, your Savior and your Judge (thus the respectfulness). You need say nothing, but oftentimes Rosaries or chaplets of divine Mercy are recited or sung in the Lord’s presence. Prayer and scripture reading are quite common and completely appropriate.
