Okay, I’ve read it. Excellent article with great suggestions for promoted Eucharistic prayer in the clergy and laity. My parish has Adoration only on First Fridays and other special occasions, but I hope this is just the beginning of a greater devotion.
My parish has continuous adoration. Parishoners have signed up for one-hour vigils so that there is at least one person there at all times. Of course, others go as well.
We have a special chapel they carved out of a portion of the church’s walk-out basement, and it was refurbished with a donation from our last associate priest. It’s not grand like the chapels in cathedrals, but it is very pretty and the atmosphere is very dignified.
I suppose it could be called a coincidence, but our parish has 6 men in seminary, and one other was just ordained. I think it is directly related to the Perpetual Adoration.
Does your parish have a mission during Lent?
If so, encourage your pastor to have one of the Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament come and do the mission.
Our mission took place in March a couple of years ago, I believe, and by the 6th of May we had an Adoration Chapel up and going 24/7.
It is such a blessing!
