A Beginner’s Guide to Adoration
by CAITLIN SICA
The first time I went to adoration I was a
sophomore in college and it was uninten-tional.
Really. I was on vacation with a group of
friends, but I made sure to check online
for the nearest Mass schedule. I pulled
into the parking lot at 10:20—10 minutes
to spare, life was good. Except…the park-
ing lot was empty. I walked to the front of
the church—the doors were locked. I
looked at the sign out front and realized I had missed Mass.
Slightly panicked, I wasn’t sure what to do. I walked around for
a bit and then remembered that this parish had perpetual adora-
tion. Restless: I walked up the hill to this tiny little chapel, opened
the doors, and stepped inside. It was dark, chilly, and extremely
quiet. I slid into a pew, knelt, and began to pray. I thought I
could hear myself thinking. I looked down at my watch…3
minutes had passed. 3 minutes? I could hardly believe it. I
looked next to me at the only other person who was in the chap-
el—a monk, who was sitting, barefooted, eyes closed, and smil-
ing.
He made it look so easy, so peaceful. I, on the other hand, was
in agony. I had promised myself I would stay in adoration for
an hour—since that’s about how long Mass was. I closed my eyes, tried to relax. “Pray, Caitlin,” I coached myself, “it’s not
that hard.” I opened my eyes. Another 5 minutes had gone by.
52 minutes to go, but who was counting?
Then it dawned on me that my whole attitude was wrong. God
wasn’t forcing me to be there, to spend an hour with Him be-
cause I had missed Mass. I was choosing to be there. Did I want
to be there? Did I want to spend time with Jesus? I did. So I
asked God for the grace to let me sit there with Him, in silence,
peacefully.
Body, Soul, Blood and Divinity: I gazed upon the monstrance,
containing Jesus — body, soul, blood, and divinity — and
smiled at the intimacy of it all. I closed my eyes for the third time and prayed. This time, when I opened my eyes an hour had
gone by! Halleluiah! I was filled with joy—not because I had
fulfilled my made up requirement, but because God had stilled
my heart.
I left that chapel filled with a peace, contentment, and joy un-
like anything I had felt before.
While it would be six months until I would attend adoration
again, God had placed something on my heart—a desire to
know Him more fully in the most Blessed Sacrament.
Today, I am a much different person than I was the first time I
sat in adoration. I no longer dread the form of prayer, but desire it. I try to go to adoration several times a month. Sometimes, I
am able to sit peacefully and sometimes my heart is more rest-
less. But every time, I am grateful for the opportunity to sit and
gaze upon the Lord.
