In Catholicism, adoration is the highest form of worship and is reserved for God alone. It signifies deep love, reverence, and devotion to God, acknowledging his supreme greatness and holiness.
A key practice of religious adoration in the Catholic faith is Eucharistic Adoration, where the consecrated Host (the Body of Christ) is displayed in a monstrance for silent prayer and worship. This devotion allows Catholics to spend time in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, expressing love, gratitude, and reverence. During adoration, we pray, meditate, and contemplate the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Some churches offer Perpetual Adoration, where the Blessed Sacrament is exposed 24/7 for continuous worship. Catholics can adore God in personal prayer by praising Him, giving thanks, and surrendering to His will. Adoration is at the heart of Catholic life because it deepens our relationship with God and allows us to experience His grace. We worship God through adoration.
We go to adoration every month during our classes for 15 minutes. While we’re there we sit in silence with our classes. During that time we can pray and light a candle for a special reason. Adoration is a time for reflection. We can sit there and talk to God and pray for things happening in our lives. Adoration is a time for us to give ourselves to God.
