All are welcome to adore our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament at a Eucharistic Holy Hour on Monday, April 28 from 6 to 7pm, with the Sacrament of Reconciliation available during the hour. Our Dominican seminarian and deacon, Br. Gabriel Torretta, will give a brief reflection on a passage from Hebrews, below, with the theme of mercy and the Resurrection. Fr. Rafael will be available for confessions in English and Spanish during the hour. 

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help. (Hebrews 4:14-16)

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).
