Patrick Conleyby Patrick Conley

Fr. Tom Wilson joins Patrick to discussAdoration

  • (3:07) what is Eucharistic Adoration?
  • What makes Eucharistic Adoration different from other forms of prayer?
  • (15:52) Linda – I’ve been doing adoration over 15 years. I started when God hit me on the side of the head and had me change my attitude about it. We have 24/7 adoration. I always said I was too busy. Started as sub. God said how bout you start fitting your life into mine. It’s the highlight of my life now.

(20:30) Break 1

  • Rick – Question – Whether doing adoration on the internet is the same as doing it in church.
  • (25:10) Kristle – When I was starting with adoration, I took early morning, late hours, etc. It’s easier because when you’d be sleeping, instead, you’re spending an hour with Jesus.
  • (32:47) Mary – I used to go to adoration and I loved it. Now, when you go in, they give you a pamphlet and you have to follow their routine. I’m not comfortable with that. Is that legitimate?

(36:54) Break 2

  • Deacon Gerald – I have a grandson who is a priest with Opus Angelorum. They promote prayer with your angel….one thing they do is adoration from 9p-12a. They’re imitating the angels who consoled Christ when he was in the garden. They pray for priests who are spiritually asleep. They also do this at their retreats.
  • (42:05) Jan – As a cradle Catholic, I have difficulties. I don’t know whether to have a Bible or prayer book with me, or do I just sit in silence and wait to the Lord to speak to me? I haven’t gotten that perfect solution. What do I do?
  • How does Adoration strengthen families, marriages and vocations?
