Eucharistic Adoration
Exposition is the placing of the Holy Eucharist in a Monstrance, the
sacred vessel used to elevate the Sacred Host, so that the faithful may look upon Him,
thus creating a more personal relationship. When we visit Jesus exposed in the Blessed
Sacrament, we visit HIM "face to face", as a friend. It also helps
adorers, who are guardians of the Eucharist, to be faithful to their scheduled hours
because they know that our Lord can never be left alone while He is exposed.

On December 2, 1981, in a small chapel in st. Peter's Basilica, Pope John Paull II began
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration and urged ALL parishes to do the same. In his homily at
the 45th International Eucharistic Congress Seville, Spain, June 1993, the Holy Father
said: "I hope that this form of Perpetual Adoration, with PERMANENT EXPOSITION of the
Blessed Sacrament, will continue into the future. Specifically, I hope that the
fruit of this Congress results in the establishment of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration IN
ALL PARISIHES and Christian communities throughout the world. In 1980, Pope John Paul II,
visited Le Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, France where there has been Perpetual Adoration for
over 100 years.
