Perpetual Adoration takes place when the priest takes a consecrated host and places it in a monstrance (monstrance comes from the Latin “monstrare”, meaning to show or expose to view). The monstrance is placed on the church/chapel altar or in front of the tabernacle (an ornate box that holds the monstrance and any consecrated hosts) for adoration.
What do you actually do during adoration? You may sign up to be an “adorer”, which allows you to schedule yourself for one or more hours per week to pray before the very presence of Our Lord, exposed in the monstrance. It means that you can have some time alone with Jesus to recite your favorite prayer or the rosary, read the bible, contemplate acts of faith, hope, charity, thanksgiving, reparation or do whatever form of prayerful devotion that suits you before Our Lord. You can sit and say nothing, simply keeping Him company, just as you would with a dear friend.
