  • Father shares some inspirational stories about the Eucharist.
  • (30:42) Phyllis – I try to do adoration. I speak to God all day long. How is that different from Adoration? I believe in the Mass and the presence in the Eucharist. Have trouble just sitting there. Looking for some direction.

  • James – I’ve been praying for a special intention. I do a lot of prayers in the morning (Rosary, Chaplet, Novena). I stop for adoration. I don’t know if I should be doing more prayers at home for more healing or is there a fine line where I should be doing both?
