Excerpt from the Pocket Guide to Adoration
“Our time in prayer isn’t just about saying a bunch of words out loud or writing them on paper in vain. In our time of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, we need to be aware whom we are speaking with and what we are talking about.
When we are in an Adoration chapel, we are in the presence of a real person, Jesus Christ. Therefore, when we are speaking with our Lord, we need to be aware of what we are saying to him.
St. Teresa of Avila, a Doctor of the Church, advised us not to address our words to God while we are thinking of something else. The spiritual tradition of the Church encourages us to pray with attention and intention.”
