Holy Trinity Parish offers a Day of Adoration on Thursdays at the Martyrs of North America Oratory in Bristol. The day begins with a Service of the Word at 8:00 AM and continues until evening repose with an uninterrupted period of adoration before the Lord. All are invited and encouraged to participate in this beautiful and fulfilling experience.
What is Eucharistic Adoration?
Eucharistic adoration is the act of worshiping the Lord, present in the consecrated Eucharist. Our faith teaches us that Jesus is fully present in Eucharist and so spending time before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer is the same as spending time before the living God. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed in a monstrance (pictured) on the altar for the entire day.
What do I do during my hour before the Lord?
Your adoration experience will be unique to you. Here are some suggestions for things to do during your adoration hour.. Pray using your favorite prayers or passages from the bible. Prayer books, pamphlets and Bibles will be available for your use in the church.
Meditate using scripture or the life of a saint or an experience from your own life. Ask God what he wishes for you. Listen..
Pray the Rosary, asking our Blessed Mother to be with you as you adore her son. Intercede for all parishioners. Spend the hour asking for healing and praying for the intentions of all members of our Parish family.
Kneel or sit quietly and just be in the presence of the Lord. Listen.
How can I participate?
There are two ways for you to become a part of Eucharistic Adoration:
You can choose to be before the Lord anytime during the day by simply going to the Oratory in the Marian Center. You may stay for a brief period or a longer time. This is an excellent way to discover what adoration means to you and whether you are being called to more regular participation.
Sign up for a regular hour of Adoration. Call Sandy Hauser (536-4700) and make a personal commitment to be before the Lord for an hour or more on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. It all depends on you.
