•••••

Spending time in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is an essential Catholic ritual that honours the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It has existed in some form since the first century.

The Ave Guide to Eucharistic Adoration has a wealth of petitions, devotions, meditations, and Church doctrines to read during your peaceful time with the Lord, whether it be for fifteen minutes or a complete holy hour. Elegant historical lithographs and engravings from traditional prayer books, psalters, and Bibles are presented in a modern form in this book.

When Jesus goes to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his death in Matthew's Gospel, he begs his followers to "remain here and keep watch with me... watch and pray" (26: 38, 41). During Eucharistic Adoration, our Lord encourages us to do just that.

The Ave Guide to Eucharistic Adoration is ideal for both newcomers and seasoned veterans searching for a fresh method to pray during their time with the Lord. Because Eucharistic Adoration is considered an extension of the Mass, the book is divided into four sections:

Penance
Scripture
Sacrifice
Service

In addition to conventional prayers and devotions, the contemplation material includes saint biographies and writings, encyclicals, Church father writings, brief Bible readings from the New American Bible (the version used in the Mass), and explanations of Church beliefs. Each reading is accompanied by thought questions and is intended for fifteen minutes of personal meditation in front of the Blessed Sacrament. An hour of devotion consists of four readings.

The Ave Guide to Eucharistic Adoration also offers useful information on the devotion's history, thoughts on what the Church teaches about it, and basic processes and possibilities for crafting a Holy Hour based on the contents of the book.
