Eucharistic Adoration
Come rest in the presence of Jesus
where silence speaks, grace renews, and faith is strengthened.
At the center of our Catholic faith is the profound belief that Jesus Christ is truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—in the Holy Eucharist. Eucharistic Adoration invites us to step away from the noise of daily life and encounter Christ in silence, stillness, and deep personal prayer.
​
Our Tri-Parish Catholic Communities—Our Lady of Grace (Ballston Lake), Immaculate Conception (Glenville), and St. Joseph’s (Scotia)—joyfully provide opportunities for the faithful to spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
What Is Eucharistic Adoration?
Eucharistic Adoration is a treasured Catholic devotion in which the consecrated Host,
the Blessed Sacrament, is placed in a monstrance for prayer and worship. In this sacred time before the Lord, we offer our hearts, our hopes, our struggles, and our gratitude to Christ, who is truly present.
​
In the quiet of Adoration, we respond to Jesus’ invitation:
“Could you not keep watch with me for one hour?” — Matthew 26:40
​
Whether you seek peace, clarity, healing, or a moment to rest in God’s presence, Adoration is a grace-filled encounter with the living Christ.
Why Adoration Matters
Adoration offers a holy pause in a world filled with constant distraction. Regular time before the Blessed Sacrament helps us:
​
-
Deepen our relationship with Jesus
-
Receive spiritual strength, peace, and renewal
-
Grow in love for the Eucharist and the Mass
-
Pray for loved ones, vocations, and the needs of the world
-
Encounter God’s mercy in a quiet and personal way
​
Even a few minutes in Christ’s presence can transform a day—and a heart.
How to Pray During Adoration
There is no single “right” way to adore the Lord. Come with an open heart and allow God’s grace to lead you. You may wish to:
​
-
Pray silently or speak to Jesus from your heart
-
Read Scripture or meditate on God’s Word
-
Pray the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, or other devotions
-
Reflect on Christ’s Passion or simply rest in His presence
​
However you choose to pray, let this time be a sacred exchange of love between you and Christ.
