Perpetual Adoration Chapel

I hope it’s okay for me to post here. I am not Catholic, but I am and have been searching for answers for some time. Many of you have been encouraging to me in the past, but I became a little wary of the discussions going on in the “Non-Catholic” section so I opted not to participate there for now. Anyway today for the first time I visited the Perpetual Adoration Chapel at the Catholic Church near my home. I went at the suggestion of friend, who is away of my struggles. I have been going to the Church for several weeks since the death of my mother to sit in the sanctuary to pray and meditate. My friend felt that the intimacy of the Chapel might be more helpful to me. It was a beautiful experience and I hope to go again. I am studying a children’s booklet on the Rosary and another one for adults to try to have a better understanding of this special way of praying. Since my mother’s death I have felt a need to be closer to Mary. I asked my friend if she would accept this motherless non-Catholic as her son. He assured me that she would. My father is deceased also and I often feel like an orphan.

Awesome! I am glad to see you have had a positive experience in the Adoration Chapel. I hope you continue to go. Look for some literature on adoration, and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It will help you to better understand our beliefs and to have an even better experience while visiting the chapel.

I lost my mother a little over two weeks ago, and I paid my first visit to the chapel at my church yesterday. It was really helpful to just kneel and talk to Jesus. I also picked up a booklet on The Divine Mercy and I am looking forward to learning more about how it can better my relationship with Christ, as well as give me another form of prayer to use with my rosary!

Kee going to the chapel, it will continue to be a rewarding experience for you.

Today being the Feast Day of Our Blessed Mothers Birth, what better way to Pay tribute to both of your Mothers in heaven. I love the rosary and it brought such special healing to me. I started with one decade and lead to so many miracles, gifts and graces. May the Blessed Mother and Your Mother in heaven bring you that peace today!
