What Do We Do in Adoration?

- There are many things we can do during Eucharistic Adoration, but to make the time most effective there are certain things we should do. Fr. Josh puts forth some simple guidelines you can use to help you improve your relationship with God through Adoration.
We ought to kneel before the Lord, but if kneeling starts to become painful and distracts us from focusing on God, making us focus on our pain instead, we should sit or lie prostrate. As Fr. Josh says, we want to be comfortable enough to remain focused on the Lord, but not so comfortable that our thoughts start to drift off.
Adoration is a liturgical act that can bring our hearts closer to God when done right. Listen to his voice by reading the Bible. Then share your heart.
Remember the Pirate’s Prayer: ARRR - acknowledge, relate, receive, respond. Acknowledge that you are in the presence of the Lord. Relate with the Lord through your own life. Receive the blessings he is offering to you. Then respond by making some resolution to bring God into your life as you leave Adoration.
Another helpful guide for Adoration is the Rosary, especially if you incorporate lectio divina into it as you pray. Using these five steps while praying a Rosary in Adoration is time well-spent:
Read the Scripture verses associated with each mystery
Meditate on each mystery
Pray each decade
Contemplate by simply sitting in the presence of the Lord
Resolve to invite God into your life in a deeper way as you leave Adoration.
For more great guidelines and advice on how to make Adoration a more powerful part of you life, keep an eye out for Fr. Josh’s upcoming book, Pocket Guide to Adoration.

A church in our diocese has 24/7 Eucharistic Adoration with two committed adorers for every hour around the clock! It has been going on for 27 years so far. The blessings that overflow into the church, school, parish families, youth group, etc. has been undeniable.
Ginny and Eric that’s a beautiful thing! I wish more parishes would make that available to the laity. I have a neighboring parish that offers it but I always feel like a outsider there.
Protopiper We’ve heard it took some major convincing by the original person who brought the idea of a perpetual adoration chapel to the Priest. More parishes need it for sure! Sad to hear you feel like an outsider there. Hope that changes 🙏🏼
AMEN! awesome. . . . GOD BLESS from the philippines
I desperately want to have 24/7 Adoration in our parish but I was told we can't even get enough people for that once a month! We have every Thursday 9 to 9 Adoration but it used to be 24 hours. I told the person who organizes it that the education about Eucharistic Adoration is not taught or talked about by the priest. I hope we can work at changing things! Blessings to you and your church!
Andrea Jerabek Prayers for your as you navigate the decision. Hope it works out! It’s a true blessing for our church but took a lot of convincing by the original woman who had the idea to start it (so I’m told). 🙏🏼💛
Watching this as a 16 year old in adoration, im looking to grow in my faith. So glad there are videos like this!!
May the Spirit guide you. Don’t be afraid because of your age. “Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.”
1 Timothy 4:12
You can watch videos in adoration??
@Angel Indeed, just be sure to use earbuds. There are many BEAUTIFUL videos to be found that bless & aid in Adoration. ♡
@@ABB14-11 Why do you all believe in this false Catholic religion?
Iam 16 too wahhhh 😃😃😃
Adoration is transforming. Jesus is love and being with Him is an honor. ✝
So true..your words touched me “being with Him is an honour”....Spending time with the King of Kings is most certainly a great honour.
@@foxx2990 Aww you're very kind, thank you. Your words inspire me too! ❤
I love adoration. It breaks my heart when I go to church or mass and people are talking before, during and after mass. No respect at all. Please pray for us to return to respecting Jesus. He is in his home the church not just in adoration chapels.
Me too😢
I agree with that! Lots of chatter, not much prep and prayer at my former Catholic Church. My new Catholic Parish is VERY respectful by comparison.
Happens in my parish, too. They pray audibly when it should be a time of quiet prayer. Some people walk out, others don't come at all, including me, because these people are a distraction.
Communion with God, no better place to be!
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
I kneel so much during prayers that I felt like my knees is immune to it…Love the adoration eucharist. I pray a lot, just praying and adore his love, blessings, sacrifice and his divine will …
God is present in the Blessed Sacrament, He welcomes you, you feel accepted, loved, healed, calmed! You can unburden all your problems to Jesus, He helps you to cope, understand.
Thank you father, I'm a Catholic bit I've never really practised adoration, but I'm going to endeavour to start. Thank you
You will not be sorry...♡
Same here I’m almost 30 and will be my first time first Friday of April
I'm a protestant studying Catholicism.
I can already tell I would be in trouble in adoration with my ADHD. Lol very short attention span, though better than it used to be.
I have the same problem. I also love Adoration. Jesus truly takes care of us. Bring your Bible and Jesus will guide you.
I’m an Adoration addict. Some times I feel like an electric charge. We don’t have an Adoration chapel but have it an hour before Mass.
Blessed you.
I miss that too.
In Adoration we have the presence of our Lord. Our Lord is happy to see us help carry his Cross and He answers our prayers as we adore him, not immediately "His timing is the best,.He is always present waiting to welcome his dear
children.
For those who can make it for Adoration, please remember us and unite us with your prayers.
Jesus Mary and Joseph, l. love you, save souls save the consecrated!!
Amen
Unite me in your prayers!!!

I need to be an Adoration Addict
The Adoration is a Paradise for me.
The best time of my day.
I love adoration during adoration I can't stop crying
Eucharistic Guardian here. I did adoration yesterday, and I am going back today after mass. It's always such a wonderful way to refocus your spirituality.
I love Eucharistic Adoration. It has really helped me. It has such an enlightening effect. It has helped me understand and find solutions to my problems. I love having Adoration online 24/7. I don't have to wait. I can do it every day. HE is with us.
Does Virtual Adoration count?
Virtual adoration started during the period of COVID-19.Thru virtual adoration also blessing pours.But it is better you sit in front of live adoration,since COVID 19 is not in the world
THANK YOU SO MUCH for videos like this. . . hope that all catholics and non Catholics can watch this to know more about Catholicism to strengthen our FAITH in GOD and not be judged by others . . .GOD BLESS our Pope, bishops, priests, servants the catholic church and everyone. in JESUS NAME.AMEN.
“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10-11, NKJV Bible)
I am an ADORER who spends an hour or more to visit Jesus in the Chapel of Blessed Sacrament of the Adoration evert week. Started to become one in 2012-2013 after series of mindless searching and ended up visiting Jesus inside the Chapel in early morning, every Sunday. I have to thank my Dear Sr. Julie, who gifted me the chaplet of adoration and to my former colleague whom i seldom see in the church.
Come and visit Jesus, he's there waiting❤
Oh hey my first time encountering Jesus in adoration was at a Steubenville conference too. Great video. Adoration is so amazing.
Buffalo Brickfilms same :)
Buffalo Brickfilms same !! :)
b
I love eucharistic adoration!!!
"we become more like the people we hang out with"❤
You got that right ❤
Great video! Father, I don’t know if you remember me, but I’m the girl at SLS who came up to you after your talk and shared my struggle with Scrupulosity (and then started crying because of it LOL I’m so embarrassed...😅). Anyways, I’m sharing this because I wanted to thank you for praying for me. That night was the big Adoration night, and by the grace of God, I finally went to confession; and let me tell you: I felt PRICELESS afterwards. But most importantly, I FINALLY RECEIVED COMMUNION AGAIN!!!😃😃😃 (For the first time in literally months). So thank you for your kindness, and for the prayers of every other person in my life, the Saints, and God for walking me through this difficult cross.💓💓 God bless. 😊
I watched yr video on confession and now this?? I'm amazed...🙏
Hey all subscribe to her channel, it's very informative on our faith.
God bless!
Sweet tooth Marie' awww 💞💞💞 you’re so kind, thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. God bless you!
Just what I needed today as my church resumes Adoration: thank you Father!
this video was such good timing! I just got home from adoration ❤
Me too, I love adoration
Thank you for sharing Father!
Thank you for explaining this !🙏
God bless fr Johnson. Thank you for this video to help me understand adoration in a more relatable way. I will say a prayer for you today. AYVA
I miss spending time in adoration, I used to be on a list to be in the presence of Christ every Monday at 3PM. Unfortunately, my new job does not avail me to spend time before Jesus. I miss that sacred time.
Thank you, just what I needed to hear!
Thank you for this video! God bless you and your ministry.🕊
God bless you! Thanks for the video!
God Bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you and God bless your ministry
Beautiful, Fr. Josh. God Bless You!

Thank you Fr. for this insight. God Bless 🙂🙏
Thank you father.
We become affectionate in Christ’s presence and glorify God’s message in our lives,to share Our belief with others.
Adoration helps me fulfill God’s calling in my life.
Thanks be to God Amen
Love His style, wonderful AND so useful, thanks a lot
Thank you For. Josh 🙏
This video just makes my heart calm. Awesome.
Love this Father! Thank you and God bless!🙏🏼✝️✝️🙏🏼
Adoration - such a gift ! Brilliant content on this channel as always ✅✝️❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INSIGHTFUL GUIDE YO ADORATION.
Very useful video. Adoration done right results in accepting and doing God's will - in every moment of our lifes. And do you know the 2 things Jesus and all the Saints have in common? *Doing God’s will and humility* . Adoration simply makes you obedient to God and humble. That's when God's mercy overloads our souls. Protect that state of you soul and "don't throw pearls in front of pigs". 😊
Thank you Father
Yay Fr.Josh thanks for this. Great advice for people that can go to adoration alone.
This was great! I'm going to share this with friends. Thanks, Father Josh! 🌿🙏
Thank you father that was very helpful.
"Godbless"🙏.
Thank you father, very informative🙏
Thank you for this informative video, Father.
Great words Father. And your little book on adoration is a great guide.
Awesome video about adoration! JESUS CHRIST bless🙏
Thank you for this powerful message.
Thank Father Josh
Thank you Father for explaining more about Adoration! GOD BLESS
I love adoration.
Thanks a lot for your advices, they're gonna be really helpful to me 🙏 God bless you
I love it. Great guide!
Great information! I liked what he said to be the imitation of Jesus.
Thanks for such a great posting. Useful insight without it making the topic dull.
I can now do a better job at my church when fulfilling my adoration responsibility.
Thank you so much Father Josh, I always wondered if I was doing what a loving child of Christ could do in his presence. This is wonderful! Thanks
This was excellent. More videos from Fr. Josh please! 🙏🏼
Your last 5th observation is a great tie-in. Hallelujah!
Thank you, Father, from another priest from the Philippines🙏🙏🙏🤝
Insightful and so wonderful... Let the good Lord have mercy on me and bless me with a job
I just learned recently that adoration is actually the receipt of Sanctifying Grace!
This is really a great video. Thank you Father!
That's very helpful, thank you. God bless you all.
Thank you Fr. Josh for that beautiful evangelization on The Adoration and the blessings of prayer. God bless you. Happy and a peaceful New Year.
Thank you so much Father Josh, for sharing Adoration in a more understandable way. Your mention of Lectio Divina is beautiful! I am in formation to becoming a Benedictine Oblate and I have fallen in love with the Divine Mercy Chaplet as well as Eucharistic Adoration! Many blessings to you!
Thank you
Great video, advice, tips and help father. I will definitely be checking out your book. 🕊
Thanks a lot Fr. Josh! Adoration seems like an "easy" thing on the surface but whenever I tried it for real, I got distracted or unfocused... I will try the methods you mentioned for sure :)
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Thank you father for your insight and information. I am inspired to find a Eucharistic Adoration and do my best to create that relationship with God. Bless you.
Gobless you!
This video is worth repeated viewing. It's rich in information and tools that I won't recall after one listening. I do have a great start for my next adoration in a couple days though and I hit the like button so I can grab it again later on.
Enjoyed watching this video and found it very informative. I go to Adoration early in the morning and struggle with drowsiness as it is so quiet and peaceful! If I am alone then I pray/talk out loud and that helps. Lectio Divina is a great idea!
Thank you!
thankyou father for the info....it helps me alot!
Thank you Father Josh for these enlightening words which will help me when I go visit the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
Thank you father, I loved this.
Stubenville Ohio. Just heard from Dr. Marshall that the Bishop took away their (students) monthly TLM. Prayers for that Bishop.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻thanks for the video!
Thank you Fr. Josh. I bought the book, "Adoration Companion". It's so cool to see you in this video. I love the way you set up the book. I can take one part at a time while I'm in Adoration. What beautiful reflections, stories, meditations...I usually feel compelled to write in my prayer journal after. God is so good. Thank you for writing this book & being part of the Ascension team. Thank you for answering God's call to be a priest. You're always in my prayers. Thank you just doesn't do it. There are no words for how your book, this channel & podcasts (Especially Bible in a Year) has been changing my life. Praise God for raising up holy priests to guide His lost sheep like me.
Amen. Truth.
Excellent video thank you
Thank you Lord for guiding me to this video of Fr. Josh Johnson.
Thank you Jesus for answering my question on what to do or say in prayer, as i joined the seminarians of Sto. Domingo La Naval in Adoration today.
Now i know what to do... ARR... lectio divina ... thank you Fr. Josh Johnson.
Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ!
My pocket guide came yesterday which was a thursday and i took it to Adoration and started reading it there. So special because iam just now lesring about adoration. Thankyou father , thankyou for devoting your life to priest hood & everything you ve done in your life thus far.
Very good informative video thankyou for upload
Lovely way to share this how to in everyday words. ;)
This video gives a good starting base for how you could pray (even if you are not Catholic).
This helped me better understand Adoration. Thanks and God bless Fr.
Glad it was helpful!
You go Father! Tell them about GOD!
Yes....prostrating is not a from of laziness, but being one with God.
Learning of the church before I knew what the Mass was and adoration I would cry. I know it was Jesus coming back into .. no, me coming back to Him that I could feel. Pretty sure my Guardian told me to pay attention when I saw the first holy sacrament done. Beautiful. God & Christ are real & alive.. I pray everyone can experience this beauty.
Fantastic. Thanks!
Thank you Fr Josh. Ascension Presents please give him a show here if he doesn’t already have one
I go to adoration to give thanks. I pray the rosary to shake the dust of the world from my soul. This is an inebriation experience and I reunite and connect with Jesus. He shows me the tapestry of my soul and I use it to adjust my course in life.
