Here at St. Thomas, we have a chapel on the second floor of the Office Complex. On each Friday from 8am-7pm, there is the opportunity for our parish family to spend time in the chapel. We call it “Adoration”. Basically, you come into the Chapel and spend time with Jesus (the Eucharist is exposed in the Monstrance for everyone to see and “adore”). What would you do in there? Well, you can do nothing or you can pray or read (we have a book shelf with inspirational and devotional resources). You can ask God for favors; you can thank God for blessings. It is a time for quietness and being still in the Lord.
Mother Teresa said, “A Holy Hour of Adoration brings everlasting peace to the earth….adoration is the most beautiful thing you could ever think of doing.”
If you can commit to spending an hour in Adoration on Fridays, please call the Church @ 863-1610. It is important to have at least one person committed so that Jesus will not be left alone. It is good to have three or four signed up for every hour time slot so that if something happens and one person cannot be there, we always know that the hour is covered. If you cannot commit to an hour, please feel free to drop in any time during the hours of Adoration on Fridays. It is a beautiful thing.
