A few comments from those who spend and hour with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration:

 “I find,” said John a retiree, “that perpetual adoration is addictive.  For me, that chapel is like a magnet.” 

“My adoration hour is a must.  That’s where I get my priorities straight – at the feet of Jesus.”

 “I come on my lunch hour.  It’s my daily date with the Lord.”

 “I drop in on my way to work to offer my day to Jesus.”

“Perpetual Adoration, Eucharistic Adoration offers to our people the opportunity to join those in religious life to pray for the salvation of the world, souls everywhere and peace on earth.  We cannot underestimate the power of prayer and the difference it will make in our world.”

“The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament…will help bring about everlasting peace on earth.”  (Mother Teresa)
