Have you ever experienced a great grace or miracle from Eucharistic Adoration

[JamalChristophr]

Often we ask for special favors from the Lord while we are at Adoration, things we know probably are not going to change except by some divine intervention.

Have you ever experienced a really special grace, let’s call it, or, some miracle that you are fairly certain must have come from that time before Jesus in the Eucharist.

You can just say that you have if you don’t really want to go into detail about it. But stories would be great.

Thanks!

Yes, after my husband died I had a severe anxiety attack that persisted for several weeks. I have had these off and on throughout my life but mostly I didn’t get them any more for some years before this happened (age and lifestyle changes had made it mostly go away) so it was a big shock to have it come back at level 10 on the Richter scale.
It lifted on Holy Thursday in the middle of Adoration.
I also felt the Lord had sent my deceased mother to sit with me there for a little while.

I haven’t experienced a miracle before the Eucharist, but I have felt His Presence there, especially the first time I prayed before the Blessed Sacrament. Also I always feel safe and my fears go away. I know that nothing can harm me in his presence.

Before I left America the last time, I used to go to a 24 hour Adoration chapel, to pray in peace and quiet, and praying there before the Eucharist always eased my mind, helped me to be at peace.

That’s beautiful, bear. Thanks for sharing.

There are two occurrences I’ll call miraculous at Adoration I’ve had. One basically restored my life 11 years ago. I will say nothing more… it’s between me and God.

The second occurred a few months ago, I view that one as a work in progress, so I’m not willing to share that event, yet, since I don’t as yet discern the purpose.

These events that people here and elsewhere report are real, and show, to this unworthy servant at least, the power and magnificance of our Lord and Savior.

I once walked in a Eucharistic procession that silenced a busy city’s busiest district, and in that penetrating silence, I heard something telling me to “follow.”

Ten years later I was ordained a priest.

We were going in and out of an ad hoc chapel doing various spiritual exercises all weekend. So during one particular exercise, even though adoration was not the purpose of that particular exercise, and I don’t think the Eucharist was exposed, but probably in a tabernacle in the chapel, I was none the less in the presence of the Eucharist within an intimate setting. Then, after I prayed, I saw an image which I can only describe as being annoying because of it’s subject and it’s precision. I tried to make it go away because I was trying to focus on prayer. It wouldn’t. I opened my eyes, looked around and tried to reset my mind by thinking about other things. When I returned to my prayer, the image returned in all it’s seeming absurdity. It was now time to leave the chapel. I don’t remember exactly when I discerned the meaning of the image, it may have been as I was leaving the chapel or shortly after, but it was a direct answer to a question.

I was on a retreat and my head was quiet during Mass and when I was in adoration. All other times it was chaos.

I am not an emotional person, but I was graced with the gift of tears recently in our Adoration Chapel. It changed me so much for the better.

I’ve only done an hour of Eucharistic Adoration in my life, since I am a convert and I just hadn’t done it the last 16 years. I began to wake up about the time my Dad died. I am signed up to be someone who is there throughout a day soon.

I know you do not go there expecting to have some life changing thing happen, but I hope a grace will help me understand what I need to do for my family and others.

Our Lord said to St Anthony Mary Claret to make his requests ‘audacious’ before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. I have been going to adoration for quite a few years but during last summer I decided to take Our Lord at His Word about a seemingly hopeless situation that was adversely affecting a friend.

I visited Our Lord in Adoration and explained the situation to Him and asked Him to please resolve the problem for my friend. Obviously Our Lord knew the problem without me having to articulate it but it seems He likes us to ask Him in any case.

To cut a long story short, Our Lord fixed the problem effortlessly where all human solutions had failed. My friend had her problem resolved. Not only that but as well as fixing the main problem, Our Lord fixed other one’s for her as well. Doors that had seemed firmly shut, opened miraculously with ease. It was marvellous to behold. Never doubt that there is any problem Our Lord can’t fix if we humbly ask Him in Adoration.

Our Lord is immensely powerful and magnificent and very, very good and generous.

Went to Mass yesterday (Monday) and stayed after to pray before the Eucharist; I experienced something of a slow, slightly empty-headed trance with a virtually complete absence of anxiety (I’m always worried about becoming homeless, not having work, rent money, etc.).

From another post:

Been reading (and listening, mostly listening to the seven and something hour audio book) The Interior Castle over and over (and trying to stay without sin, pray the rosary daily and sometimes more than daily, go to confession, go to Mass, and consume the Holy Eucharist) in the hope that I could get there with you. Sadly, I think I’m still on the border between the second and the third room.

I know that after the third room, it’s all on God, not our efforts. I can’t even really get solidly into the third room though, and that is supposed to be all up to me.

Sounds to me like most of you are considerably farther along than I am. Wish I could get there with you.

Yep, wanna make progress, just not very good at it.

Sure wish I could get to room 4 and room 5 and so forth.

The biggest one I could think of, even though it was just an image, and not the real thing—

I used to work at City Hall, across the street from a cathedral. I would pop over for lunchtime Mass, and it was really convenient. I went there hundreds of times over the years I worked there, and 99% of the time, I sat in my usual spot.

I was working there when John Paul II was dying, so I popped across the street to go pray. It really bothered me, because he was the only Pope I’d really known about in my lifetime-- so I was kind of used to him. The idea of change was unsettling. The idea of having to find a new Pope was unsettling. And so I prayed really hard for God to protect the Church in this time of transition, and to protect us, and guide his successor.

I looked down at my hands— and there, reflected in the flat surface of the diamond on my ring, was an image of a chalice with the Eucharist over it. It took me a moment to realize that it was actually a reflection of a stained glass window I’d never noticed before, over the door to the Sacristy. But it was my answer-- that Popes come and go, but we’ve always got Jesus in the Eucharist, so even if there are problems with men, we always have God and the Sacraments.

And all my worry went away.

But I thought that it was really cool that, out of all the hundreds of times I’d sat in that same spot, and all the hundreds of times I’d been in that building, that that was the day that events aligned so that I got just the right answer at just the right moment, no words necessary.

So this is back when I was still investigating the Church. There was a 24h adoration chapel nearish to us. It was pretty late, I think close to midnight if not after (I was on grad student time), but an older lady had let me know the code to the door earlier.

The chapel was empty. I’m know that’s not supposed to happen, but sometimes it did. I’d ditched my slush-covered boots at the door and gone in. As I entered I got a word in my mind - “kneel.” I can’t call it a command, but the sense of it doesn’t really fit into words. Best I can say is it’s not that I had to obey so much as it would be clearly nonsensical to ignore. As though someone offered you water on a hot day and said “drink”, there’s no reason why it would make sense to refuse.

Most of the times I’ve gone to adoration I sat and knelled there praying hard and feeling like a punching bag.

Yes, sometimes there’s been peace, and quiet, and resignation, and even happiness amidst hardship and stress.

And I know I’m meeting the Lord, and I really don’t have much -if anything- to show for myself.

So I try to regret my sins and recon any good came from Him, and I try to thank Him for it.
