Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
|
Sacred Heart has the ability for 24/7 Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel. “The only begotten Son of God is to be adored in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist . . . including external worship. . . The Sacrament is to be publicly exposed for the people’s adoration.” (The History of Eucharistic Adoration by John A. Hardon, 1997.) We have a monstrance that allows us to expose and repose the Eucharist by opening and closing the doors of the monstrance. This will allow for us to have 24 hour adoration without need to sign up for time slots. In these challenging times, it is the power of prayer that can comfort us when we spend intimate time with our Lord. If you would like the code to the chapel door please email Janice Teixeira at teixeira@cox.net or call the parish office at 619-224-2746. There must absolutely never be periods when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and there is no one present. The Monstrance must be closed when leaving the chapel and no one else is present. A guest book for signing in and instructions for adoration can be found in the chapel beside the tabernacle.
