Adoration is where I can truly calm my heart and mind down. It's a place to bask in the glory and light of the Lord. My time in adoration has given me peace, clarity in difficult times, and most importantly a chance to feel the Lord's love and compassion.

Adoration Chapel and what it means to me...divine intervention/divine inspiration! Peace and quiet, prayerful time! I was urged to go to Adoration a couple of times at a point I didn’t know what to do with myself. I didn’t want to let go of the control I thought I had over a situation. But once I found the time to commit myself to an hour a week...yes people, I said it...”found the time”...after all God has done for me, I could find the time??
After many prayers and tears, I was given the grace to “Let go and let God.” Let God take control! The heaviness that laid upon my shoulders was lifted and I could breathe and make some sense of normalcy of the situation. The situation became easier to accept! Divine intervention! If you have any aches, pains, worries, anxiety, depression or are thankful, take it to the Lord in the Adoration Chapel. If you cannot commit to an hour a week, visit and pray as often as you can! Treat yourself to the graces of God; His graces are abundant! Divine inspiration! Theresa S. When I heard about the Adoration Chapel, I had notions about what I'd do, how I'd serve, what the experience would be like. It turns out it was different each time! Some nights I'd be lost in worry, or deep in prayer for a friend in need, or tired from a busy week and struggling to stay focused in the warmth of the chapel. Gradually, I no longer focused on doing, but being. Being present, quieting my mind and spirit to receive the blessings of our Father, our Mother Mary, our Holy Spirit, and our Lord Jesus. We are raised to be productive, to be working towards a goal, but time at the chapel has taught me the true meaning of the words of Psalm 46:10; Be still and know that I am God. In that stillness came conversation, understanding, guidance and peace.
- Mary S The first time that I went to an adoration chapel in Missouri, I had a miracle happen. After just 5 minutes of praying the Rosary in front of the Blessed Sacrament, my back was healed of sciatica. This was something I had learned to live with along with going regularly to chiropractors. It was especially painful to drive or ride in a car. I just thought that I was probably going to live with this for the rest of my life, but I felt my lower back move into place while praying in this chapel, and I will never forget it.
