EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

• During Adoration we come before Jesus Christ present in the consecrated host with an

attitude of recognizing His greatness and love. The host is usually displayed in what is

called a monstrance. A monstrance is a beautiful stand with a place in the center to put

a consecrated host. This is a way to display and house God present in the Eucharist. A

monstrance can be very ornate and decorative which is to reveal the beauty, honor, and

majesty that are due to God. When we pray during Adoration, we come before God to

bring to Him our prayers and petitions and to be open to Him speaking to us. While it is

true that we can pray anywhere, coming before God in Adoration gives us a quiet place

free from distraction where we can focus on God and be physically in His presence.

• Don’t be afraid! Take the chance and let your youth encounter Christ in this powerful way.
