Eucharistic Adoration is a wonderful treasure held in the St. Therese de Lisieux Chapel beside the church.  Our Lord wants us to spend quiet time in His Eucharistic Presence to deepen our personal relationship with Him.  “Come to Me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you.  Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of Heart and you will find rest.” Matthew 11:28-29
 
We have scheduled hours Monday - Friday from 5:00am to 11:00pm.  This quiet hour of prayer can be spent in different ways.  You may want to speak to Jesus heart to Heart or listen to Him speak to you as He does through inspiration. Or you can just sit and relax and enjoy the peace that comes from being in His presence.  You can pray the Rosary, read scripture or do both. You can bring your own prayer books and there are books in the chapel that you may use.  
 
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta and numerous saints regularly spent time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. They would tell people that this time spent with our Lord was where they obtained the energy to do so much for God and His people.

St. Martin de Porres parishioners describe their time in Adoration:
“My Adoration hour is my calming down with God from the rest of the world.”
 
“I was needing guidance and help with a big decision...during my Holy Hour, the Lord gave me exactly the answer I was looking for in the words of a daily reflection I happened to be reading."
 
“I have gone into Adoration feeling angry and depressed and left feeling so relaxed and full of hope.  God is Good.”
 
“This is the best hour of my week.  I suffer from high blood pressure issues and I know that pressure is always at its lowest when I’m spending this intimate time with the Lord.”
“Spending time with Jesus has filled my heart with a love that I never knew existed. He is gently and lovingly changing me.”
 
“Our Blessed Mother and St. Therese have a special presence in my hour of Adoration, it is a foretaste of heaven.”
 
“It is only when we can turn off the noise and busyness of the world and sit with our Blessed Lord in silence and in prayer that we can hear His voice.“
 
“Adoration has helped me to feel Jesus Christ’s presence. I feel his mercy, grace, peace, faith and love during my Holy hour. I feel much comfort and strength during this Holy hour. 
 
"The Lord calms me in my Holy Hour.  I feel His divine grace as I sit in silence with Him."
