Condolences on the loss of your brother. May God bless you, FRiend.
Thank you Bigg Red; that means a lot to me. A couple of hours ago, I completed three hours of nocturnal adoration (1 a.m.-3 a.m.), and am thrilled this slothful soul could do such a feat. Jesus [in the Blessed Sacrament] is powerful indeed! http://adorationrocks.com/letter.html. (By the way, the chapel to which Mother Teresa refers to in the link, is the one where I adore.:)) Last Friday at 3:00 a.m., I entered the adoration chapel as well for nocturnal adoration, to find seven, yes, seven faithful adoring (a nocturnal adoration festival!!), and most, if not all, had been there since 11 p.m. on Thursday. Can you imagine? And they are signed on to do this every week.

And regarding your links, Heart-Rest, I'm leaving this from Fr. Kirby, for your discernment:

Praying Before an Image

I am not at all convinced that recourse to “webcam adoration” is a healthy development; it is, rather, fraught with theological and sacramental ambiguities that can easily mislead devout souls. It would be better, when one finds oneself incapacitated, home–bound, or otherwise unable to go physically to the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, to make use of a sacred image, a holy icon. This was the wise recommendation of the saintly Father Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey, SS.CC. (1875-1960), the apostle of nocturnal adoration in the home. One who prays before an image of Our Lord — a depiction of His Holy Face or of His Sacred Heart — will be moved to seek out the reality of what the image portrays, either by going to Holy Mass, or by visiting a church where the Most Blessed Sacrament is reserved, or by asking to receive the adorable Body of Christ at home, in hospital, in prison or wherever one may find oneself confined, immobilised, or otherwise incapable of receiving Our Lord sacramentally and of tarrying in His real presence. http://vultus.stblogs.org/index.php/2014/01/the-conundrum-of-the-webcam-in-the-sanctuary/
