The rosary and Marian devotion would also help (the vision of Saint Don Bosco of the Eucharist and the image of Mary Help of Christians comes to mind).

A couple of months after I had joined PFL and was living in NYC, I went to visit the Marians of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC on the Feast of the Guardian Angels.

I was blessed with the sight of one of the Atlanta Seminarians just as I entered the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception (I went for confession). He was at a nearby seminary -- Mount Saint Marys or another one.

But the point of the story is that the Archdiocese of Atlanta has a very strong Eucharistic adoration (24/7) in quite a few parishes, and some parishes that have limited Eucharistic Adoration.

The Archdiocese of Atlanta also has the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus once a month -- The Alliance of the Two Hearts.

The Alliance of the Two Hears has a night for First Friday Mass (to honor the Sacred Heart), confession, Eucharistic Adoration/Benediction, Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and then after midnight they have a First Saturday Mass (to honor the Immaculate Heart).

This seminarian was involved in these activities -- rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, and the Alliance of the Two Hearts...

This is indeed good news, for it provides insight into the seminarian training program in Atlanta. This 'return' to authentic Catholic tradition is what will generate the next generations of Cathoic priests. We must pray that this will spread to the seminaries run by other dioceses, especially those controlled by the more liberal bishops.
