Personal Reasons For Perpetual Adoration

Pope John Paul II On DEC. 2, 1981, our Holy Father Pope John Paul II began Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration of the exposed Blessed Sacrament, in the chapel at St. Peter's. He appealed to all parishes to do the same. "I hope that this form of Perpetual Adoration, with permanent exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, will continue into the future. Specifically, I hope that the establishment of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration will be realized in all parishes and christian communities throughout the world."

Pope John Paul II



"What will convert America and save the world? My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in a holy hour of prayer."

Mother Teresa of Calcutta



"I come to the adoration chapel when I am feeling troubled, which is often. I take refuge in Jesus' arms. He is so comforting. He gives me peace, strength and faith. I have become very dependent on my times here with Our Lord, and wouldn't ever want to give my hour up. Thank you God."

St. Raphael's Adorer



"When I go to adoration at my appointed time to pray and adore our Jesus, my heart is filled with such sweet love for Him that when it is time to go, I do not want to leave Him behind, I take Him with me!"

St. Raphael's Adorer



"Going to adoration has been one of the most wonderful things that has happened to me. I love the real feeling of peace that I get in that little chapel. I love telling Jesus my problems. He is my best friend, and always listens patiently to me. I am so thankful for that hour."

St. Raphael's Adorer
