Is it wrong to bring an electronic device to adoration?

[jpbgrad98]

Is it okay to bring an electronic device such as an iPad or iPod with you to adoration? I am able to read the Bible on them and listen to the rosary on them and I find it helps me concentrate. Is it wrong to bring them, as long as I use headphones as to not disturb others?

Electronic devices at adoration are not “wrong” in and of themselves. I’ve occasionally taken an ebook reader to adoration for devotional reading, and have had my cell phone with me (turned off). But devices that make noise should either be turned off or left at home. Headphones leak noise, as the generation who grew up with Walkmans know, and leaked noise from headphones is just as inappropriate at adoration as any other kind of noise.
