This might be good as a sticky at the top of the form or at least something we continue to bump up prayerfully.
I'd go for the sticky myself. :)

Live adoration is something I've taken to, since being separated from the chapel on my campus after Covid lockdowns. I just came across what I think is the most magnificent Marian adoration chapel I've ever seen, and it seemed good to share:

This is probably going to be the dumbest question that has ever been asked in this subforum, but what exactly are you supposed to do when you go and "adore the blessed sacrament"? Are you just supposed to sit and stare at it? Are you supposed to say some special set of prayers or something? This was never a big part of my Catholic upbringing, so I really have no idea how this is supposed to go down.

BrAndreyu - as a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Adoration is not part of your tradition.

I've gone to an adoration before at a Roman church, but I didn't know what to do so I just said some prayers for a few minutes and then left to go about my day.

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic church is in full communion with Rome and the Pope, it's just that the specific church I was going to never really did this because they were only having English masses on Saturday evenings, so the only time I went was then.

They've largely stopped doing that because there isn't much of a demand for it anymore (maybe ten people show up) so I've started just going back to the Roman Catholic church here in town because it's easier than trying to follow a mass in Ukrainian because I never learned how to speak the language. I actually grew up in the Roman Catholic church, but started attending the UGCC when my grandparents were still alive because I was trying to connect more with my heritage. It's mostly a church of elderly, I don't ever see a lot of young people there, so I was never really plugged into the parish the way I was when I was a kid and was going to the Roman church in town, which is what I grew up in and what actually feels most comfortable to me in retrospect of having tried both of them.

So now I usually go to the Roman Catholic church in town and am probably going to continue to go there, as it's just easier.
