The Purpose of Family adoration
Adoration is simply to show our love for Jesus, to Adore Him in the Eucharist – and allow Him to love us. The purpose of a Family Adoration Hour is to welcome whole families and to help children learn to adore Christ present in the Eucharist.
Here is an example of a child’s response to Eucharistic Adoration. After his first Holy Hour with Jesus, a young boy was asked by his mother if he was ready to leave. To her surprise he answered: “Can we stay a little longer, Mommy? I am not through talking to Jesus. “

How to Prepare
Explain what is going to happen: that is, explain that we are going to spend time with Jesus to show our love. Talk about reverence and practice showing reverence – in handling objects, movements, postures, stillness. Learn and practice “mindfulness” in your own adult prayer and let that guide your prayer with your children; it will “rub off” on them.
