Adoration Chapel

Whenever I can get there… It’s where our Lord speaks the loudest.

Yes, this too!

I just love the SMELL of our Catholic churches also. I know that sounds weird, but we’ve been looking for incense sticks to get that smell…it just encourages prayer and holiness. 🙂

outdoors walking on the golf course before the golfers get out, 6am in the summer, 8 in the winter.

in general early morning is my best most consistent prayer time, because by evening most days I am ready to collapse, not pray

when I can get to the monastery that is the most prayerful atmosphere I have ever encountered, but on a daily basis the church in the neighboring parish is open all day and I pray there, usually on my lunch or dinner break, because I get interrupted by parishioners if I try to use our chapel.
 
I pray the Rosary in the mornings when I’m nursing my newborn. My other kids are usually running around and it’s not the most contemplative atmosphere, but it’s better than not praying it at all! I figure Mary understands the demands of motherhood. 😉

I try to pray the Divine Mercy chaplet during the 3:00 hour but lately I’ve been falling short. :o Sometimes I pray it as I’m going to bed (it’s wonderfully peaceful) or if I’m up during the night nursing my newborn.

I love going to adoration but don’t get to very often. I’m hoping that soon, maybe in a few months, I can commit to one hour weekly. 🙂
 
Adoration Chapel for me :). Or wherever the Eucharist is . . .
 
In any Catholic church that looks like a church ought, especially my home church in NJ.

Outside under the trees.

Before my newly-forming home altar.
 
my car in the parking lot at work before the work day begins.

before Mass at my parish (early morning)

Adoration chapel - usually in the evenings is when I’m able to go, but anytime

an empty church near work - before work

my bedroom - the quietest place in my house
 
In no particular order:

the chapel in my local church

in my bedroom

sitting on a log or large rock in a nearby park, far enough off the main trails so as to not be interrupted

while biking along a very beautiful and sparsely populated bike path
 
the golf course is still mostly under water after Alex so that will have to wait for a while, at least till the cart paths are clear, but even so the bugs are horrific and humidity is 110% and heat still in the high 90s. Oh, it’s starting to rain again, just when the water in our street started going down. I did get out for a couple of hours to shop but missed Mass, but the city has blocked the street again, so we may not get out. Oh well, plan B, my bedroom.
 
My back porch, early in the morning.

Any garden

When I take walks alone.
