It\u2019s not because we fear being with Jesus in prayer, but rather we have never been taught what to do during an extended period of prayer. While visiting our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration, we can pray in a variety of different ways. Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recite the \u201cJesus Prayer\u201d<\/strong><br>Say \u201cLord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner,\u201d repeatedly as you quiet your heart and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meditate using Scripture<\/strong><br>Choose a passage from the Bible. Read the words and ask God to let the passage speak to you. Pay special attention to anything that strikes you and ask God what He wishes for you to draw from that message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the life of a saint and pray with them<\/strong><br>Most holy men and women have had a great devotion to Our Lord in the Eucharist. Therese of Lisieux, Catherine of Siena, Francis of Assisi, Thomas Aquinas, Peter Julian Eymard, Dorothy Day, Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Baroness Catherine de Hueck are just a few. Read about them and pray their prayers before the Blessed Sacrament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ask for forgiveness and intercede for others<\/strong><br>Think of those who have hurt you and request a special blessing for them. Ask God to forgive you for all the times you have neglected or hurt someone else. Bring before the Blessed Sacrament all those who have asked you to pray for them. Ask the Lord to address their concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pray the Rosary<\/strong><br>Pope St. John Paul II reminds us, \u201c\u2026is not the enraptured gaze of Mary as she contemplated the face of the newborn Christ and cradled him in her arms that unparalleled model of love which should inspire us every time we receive Eucharistic communion?\u201d (The Church and the Eucharist, 55) Ask Mary to join you as you gaze on Christ in the Eucharist and as you pray the Rosary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sit quietly and just \u201cbe\u201d in the presence of God<\/strong><br>Think of a visit to the Blessed Sacrament as coming to see your best friend. Sit quietly and enjoy being in each other\u2019s company. Instead of talking to the Lord, try listening to what He wants to tell you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekend Masses Saturday: 4:00pmSunday: 8:00am, 10:00am2:00pm Sensory-Friendly (first and third Sunday of the month) Weekday Masses Weekday Masses take place in the chapel (in the red building).
