Thursday Adoration

Most evenings we pray the Rosary and the Litany to Mary at 6:30 p.m., followed by evening prayer at 7:00 p.m., and then dinner at 7:30 p.m. However, on Thursdays we have Adoration and Benediction at 6:30 p.m. and then evening prayer at 7:00 p.m. Fr. Daniel has a class on Thursday, so I am the usual presider. Fr. Yohana is usually busy at the Blessed Sacrament School, but he volunteered to preside last week.

Fr. Yohana prepares the monstrance, with Polycarp and Livinus serving.

There is usually music at the beginning and the end of Adoration, but sometimes we will sing a hymn or two during our time of prayer together. We have many expert drum players that accompany the organ and the violin.

Valentino, Gervas and Louis are each playing a different kind of drum, with Linus in the background playing the violin.

One thing you might notice from the photos is that people have bare feet in the chapel, leaving their sandals and flip-flops outside. There is much dust and dirt around, and people usually take off their shoes or sandals before entering someone’s house. We do the same with “God’s House.”

Fr. Yohana concluded our time of Adoration with Benediction.
