“In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. . . . It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering.” (Pope Benedict XVI)
The U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops made a video (click here to view) that includes short testimonies by area people on why they participate in Eucharistic Adoration. You may recognize the Adoration Chapel at St. Agnes in Arlington, VA, which offers Perpetual Adoration (24/7).
A Eucharistic Holy Hour with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on the main altar, a brief reflection on Scripture, and confessions is held on the 3rd Monday of each month following the 5:30pm Mass. The August Holy Hour will be August 19 with Deacon Sebastian White, O.P., our returning Dominican seminarian, presiding. Deacon Work will preside.
