Saturday 8 p.m.
Amen.
Bluntly:
No, there isn’t.
Our prior bishop felt much the same way about Adoration as the heretic McBrien. So when a local pastor decided to open a Perpetual Adoration chapel here in Johnstown, I asked him how he was going to get the bishop’s approval. Canonically, one must have the bishop’s approval for Perpetual Adoration. The pastor’s answer? “We just won’t do it Saturday night.” He got around the bishop by having it 24 hours a day, from Sunday evenings till Saturday mornings, then closing the chapel from Saturday morning til Sunday evening. He didn’t need to ask permission because technically, it wasn’t “Perpetual.”
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
“For that reason, McBrien said, the practice should be “tolerated but not encouraged.”
It’s a Catholic thing...you wouldn’t understand.

This non-active participation stuff is a bunch of hogwash. Is not the laity supposed to be praying, meditating and preparing themselves for what is to happen in mere moments in the Mass. Sacred Silence should be celebrated and not condemned as "I'm bored and get nothing out of it, duh..."
First Friday of the month 5 AM.
We have 24-7 Adoration in our parish. It has been a vast blessing.
If they’re “bored,” they have no business being there.
Matthew 10:16 "Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves."
well said AB
OH MAN I hope this is true like other Freeper said we used to have 24 hour adoration back in da day but they brought in this Lib priest they took it out don’t understand why
Luke 10:38-42 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary. who, sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word. But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, have you no care that my sister has left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me. And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, you are careful and are troubled about many things: But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Haha! St Pat’s, I assume???
Thank you ... you've given me a new perspective on that passage.
“the Rev. Richard P. McBrien, a noted theologian at the University of Notre Dame”
Oh yeah he is a reliable source./sarc.
The article is so very slanted I suspect it’s source to be less than in agreement with Catholic doctrine.
Yes, and the indomitable Msgr. Biller ;-)
You should hear him tell the story. He’s a riot!
