This month we'll look at sites on which you can learn about adoration of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
The Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament is a worldwide lay apostolate and evangelization ministry. Their sole purpose is to bring people to Jesus, especially in eucharistic adoration. There is an abundance of information on their Web site, www.acfp2000.com.
The Association of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, which promotes eucharistic worship and devotion, emphasizes the value of perpetual adoration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament. At www.peainc.org you will find its guidelines, statutes, online store and more.
The Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Association, at www.therealpresence.org, is based in Chicago. Here you will find listings of eucharistic adoration sites in the United States, information about the holy Eucharist, Catholic home study courses, an adorers society, a perpetualadoration manual and more.
If you are scratching your head wondering what adoration is all about, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church at scborromeo.org/ccc/p2-s2c1a3.htm, “The History of Eucharistic Adoration,” by the late Jesuit Father John Hardon at ewtn.com/library/HOMELIBR/HISTOREA.txt or the other links in my online Catholic directory on this topic at www.-monksofadoration.org/adoretxt.html.
