All are welcome to adore our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament at a Eucharistic Holy Hour on Monday, February 24 from 6 to 7pm. Our Dominican seminaria, Deacon Sebastian White, will give a reflection based on Luke 2:22-32, a passage that includes the Song of Simeon, who has finally seen the long-expected Messiah being presented in the Temple by Mary and Joseph. Fr. Rafael will be available for confessions during the hour. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be available during the hour.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).
