I can see that it is a holy and spiritually uplifting thing to participate in this and I do,


John takes part in Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. He obviously believes in prayer and adoration.

However, I parted company with her when she started talking about practical outcomes from th epractice. She said that one parish with seemingly intractable problems had found that these dissolved within a month of Adoration being introduced. She said grandchildren previously unbaptised had been christened and a desperate mother found that after volunteering her heroin addict son had taken steps to clean up his act and was now cured.


I think I see John's point. The woman is claiming to know the baptism of previously unbaptised grandchildren and the healing of a heroin addict were the fruits of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, once a week, for two hours, in his parish. She cannot know. It could be that God answered the prayers of people who are unable to attend the church at that particular time. What about my local church? We have no opportunity for any form of worship other than one weekly Mass, on Saturday evenings. We parishioners have to pray at home. God hears us.

I wish to make it clear I do not, and would not, ridicule Exposition or Eucharistic Adoration.

Catholic and proud of it!
Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
