Eucharistic Adoration

Adoration of the Eucharist

The purpose of this Society is to provide witness to the Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist by gathering before the Blessed Sacrament in exposition to offer prayers of adoration, petition, thanksgiving and reparation.

There are two devotions through the Eucharist: Eucharistic Adoration and Eucharistic Exposition. Eucharistic Adoration is the act of worshiping and spending time with God, as He is present in the consecrated Eucharist. It is an expression of our love for Him. He can be present in the Tabernacle or exposed on the altar.

During Eucharistic Exposition the Sacred Host is "exposed" in a monstrance on the altar. Although He is always present in the tabernacle, during exposition He is ever more visible to our eyes and senses. The monstrance is placed on the Altar and designed to elevate the Body of Christ so that people may look upon and adore Him. This allows you to visit Jesus and talk to Him "face to face" as a friend. It is a time to pray, meditate, or just spend a quite hour in his presence. Because of His presence, there must ALWAYS be someone with Him in the chapel.

Those who have spent time in Adoration have received comfort, peace, healing and forgiveness while it deepens and strengthens their relationship with Jesus. It also helps us to grow in love and holiness. This quiet time with the Lord will help you listen and recognize His voice as He speaks to your heart.

Exposition occurs every Thursday from 8:30 am until 5:30 pm. If you are unable to make Exposition, please remember that Jesus is always in the Chapel's Tabernacle for Adoration anytime.

For more information, or to sign up as a "regular" adorer, please contact Cecille Zalamea at 908-350-3550 or email: cecillez@gmail.com.
