Dear JMJ333,

By the way, thanks for the article. Our parish has 24/7 Eucharistic Adoration. My understanding is that attendance is flagging, and my wife and I have been thinking that perhaps we might be called to an hour a week.

The timing of your post seems a little more than coincidental.

You're welcome. My parish doesn't have 24/7 adoration, so I go to the only church in the city that does and give an hour each week. I recently used to do an hour at 2:00 AM and loved it because it was so silent and I could pray on my face without feeling self-conscious of others staring at me. Other times I sang out loud. I had to give it up though because I would sometimes oversleep and leave the person who came before me to pick up my slack. Now I do it on Saturday afternoon. =)

I think you will find that giving an hour a week is very satisfying spiritually.

I am not the most devout Catholic in the world but I have found adoration to be a life altering experience. I first began doing it because my parish was not able to find people to do it at 2am. Since I go into work at 3am I didn't have a very good excuse NOT to do it. I hope you will find the time to start attending adoration.
