Prayer Before The Blessed Sacrament At Night

[TheresaThoma]

There really is something about night prayer that I can't explain. My other favorite time to pray is right at dawn. It just has a feeling of expectation.

 

[AveMariaPurissima]

I like adoration at night because I want to console Jesus and keep Him company in the hours when He is most alone, and make reparation for those who are offending Him.

The community I was with has Perpetual Adoration. The Sisters switch off hourly. There are two Sisters the majority of the time in front of the Blessed Sacrament around the clock.

 

Night adoration was a very beautiful time. We had something called the "night litany" which were prayers for all people that were up at night: people who worked the night shift, those who were up with small children, etc. as well as those who were selling drugs, prostituting, etc. It is as if I was holding all the world when I had an hour of Adoration at night. The Sisters have this charism as their most important, and they hold it very close. Adoration always comes first before any other apostolate. It was (and is) so special.

That is so very beautiful.
