Adoration?

Yes, adoration. Most parishes have several time slots for it. Here’s more about it:

Please explain “adoration” in this context.

Adoration is time to spend in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. I've used this video with our teen when introducing them to adoration because unguided prayer time is often hard for them.

Sometimes I go and read, sometimes I have trouble settling my thoughts and just recite prayers from the missal, other days I just go with an intention and see where my thoughts take me. Mostly it's just time to relax my heart and draw strength from my prayers.

Fr. Schmitz is so cute. I only heard about adoration within the past 2 years. i haven't been yet, but want to go.

i go to weekly mass, rarely during the week. i'm also a reader.

I like going to mass on weekday mornings when it is quiet -- so I guess I agree with preferring that than going to crowded Sunday mass.

I'm an adult convert (20+ years ago) so I really associate mass with quiet contemplation.
