How the Ministry Works
-
How the Ministry Works:
-
The Blessed Sacrament, the Body of Christ, is removed from the tabernacle and reverently exposed in a vessel called a monstrance on the Altar of the Eucharistic Chapel during scheduled hours of Exposition.
- Scheduled Adorers are needed to attend and pray in His Presence during times of Exposition, when at least two people are needed for each scheduled hour.
-
Substitute Adorers with flexible schedules are also needed to occasionally substitute during times when the scheduled adorers are unable to make their committed time.
- Whether you are a Scheduled Adorer or a Substitute Adorer for someone else, during times of Exposition you are expected to arrive at the beginning of the hour and stay until the end of the hour when the next two Adorers arrive. If the arrival of next Adorers is delayed, do not leave the Blessed Sacrament unattended! Wait for someone to arrive!
- There are no special requirements regarding your time or how you pray, and there are reading resources available in the Chapel to aid you in your prayer and to help nurture your faith life. Sometimes you might read Scripture, pray the Rosary, or just sit and visit with Him, telling Him about your day, about your needs, and giving Him time to speak to your heart. Jesus waits for us in the Blessed Sacrament. He waits for our little Acts of faith, adoration, love, thanksgiving, repentance and charity that we can offer Him as we contemplate His Divine Majesty in the Blessed Sacrament.
