What sets Adoration apart from other forms of prayer is that Jesus is present with us in a consecrated host. We are able to pray with Jesus before us, who is truly present in the Eucharist.
After our school mass this Wednesday, we will be placing a consecrated host, the Body of Christ, inside this beautiful gold Monstrance. Jesus is truly present!
When we begin Adoration and we enter Jesus' presence, we will show our deep respect by genuflecting, bowing low on one knee. Today we practiced this in a prayerful manner.
Then we will be led through a series of prayers; Adoration prayer, Confession prayer ("I'm sorry for ... Please forgive me"), Thanksgiving Prayer, and a Supplication prayer (our prayers for others). This experience will draw us close to Jesus.
Today we familiarised ourselves with the prayer format our adoration will follow using a little personal journal. We reflected upon and recorded our personal thoughts for the Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication prayers.
Mass will be held in our school gym this Wednesday at 9:00 am with Adoration to follow for individual classes and small groups. Please consider joining us for mass and Adoration if you are able. This prayer experience is fairly new for most of us, but it is sure to be a powerful one. All are invited!
Please keep us in your prayers as we experience Christ in Adoration!
