I posted a couple weeks ago about the problems with noise during our weekly holy hour…there is a Mass going on at the same time (the Adoration Chapel is attached to the main church, and the music is soooooo loud) and the woman who prayed in such a loud whisper. Many kind people offered their thoughts and ideas, and we were ready to call the coordinator and switch our time.

Then…tonight we went and lo and behold…there was a “white noise” machine running near the heat register. It did a super job of blocking the noise of the music from the church. And the loud praying lady hasn’t been there the past 2 weeks, which makes me think she perhaps switched her time. So God took care of things after all!!

Thanks to all who took the time to post. I will say a prayer for all the Forum Friends next week at Adoration!
 
Personally, the white noise machine would annoy just as much, if not more.
 
I never saw the first thread but as for the woman praying in a loud whisper…aren’t we suppose to see Jesus in everyone? Possibly this would have been a good thing to offer up?😃
 
Good to know this. I used to go to a nearby Adoration Chapel but stopped because I had some really bad experiences with gossipy, rude people. Also, the woman who was “in charge” was a major gossip, very adept at shunning people, was disrespectful to our clergy, and felt the need to clutter the chapel with cheap plastic rosaries draped over EVERY chair and too many questionable prayer books. (All the rosaries in the world don’t mean a thing if one’s as gossipy and disrespectful and controlling as this woman.) I just could not go back.

This chapel was also attached to the main body of the church and it was very difficult to pray there during Mass.

When I used to go to Adoration, I would sometimes be there when this cute little old lady used to come in. She drove a cute little Volkswagon Bug and wore her hair in a ponytail. She would come in, kneel down, and start praying in a loud whisper. I just loved her. For some reason, the sound of her fervent whispers and the rattling of her rosary beads soothed and enchanted me. She was a real prayer warrior. 😃

I have to use a sleep apnea machine at night, so the noise sort of reminded me of that!

I can’t stand the sound of people breathing so…

Needless to say, I take the hours in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep.

Thanks for the follow up.

It does sound like it may have gotten to the other lady. Although, you never said her age (or range), I pray she’s OK.
