Eucharistic Adoration with Exposition does exactly that. En masse. Not only does it bring those who commit to scheduled holy hours closer to Jesus, but numerous other souls come to the Chapel to spend time with Jesus and then Jesus works wonders in their lives.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration takes incredible Unity because the chapel must be attended to hour after hour, day after day, week after week, like the guards at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, perpetually. 

We arll have a Fraternal responsibility to help our brothers grow in holiness. Although in our busy lives this responsibility can be neglected, as active work takes our time and energy.

Eucharistic Adoration is Patriotic. It will not only transform those of us who participate, it will transform others, it will transform our parishes, it will transform our diocese, our country, our world.

While the requirement itself is very easy to understand, i.e. every hour must have at least one, preferably two or more adorers committed to attend their scheduled weekly hours, participation cannot and should not be forced. People need to be spiritually willing to take on such a grace-filled undertaking. Establishment however would not be limited to those we know, as many others will participate being inspired by the leadership of those who take on the effort. Even though every parish has the manpower numbers to support 24/7 Adoration right now it will require a unified personal commitment at a level often not yet experienced.

As such the call to grow in holiness should be our starting point. Nothing can be forced but we must provide an avenue to share our faith and inspire each other to holiness. For Practical Catholics the Eucharist is The Source and Summit of our faith.

So, we should make the "Call to be Holy” (1 Pet 1:15) a priority in our lives.

Ultimately the results will be the united Catholics calling for Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration a reality not just for us personally but in our diocese, our country, and the world.

All heaven will rejoice when the importance of formal, perpetual, Eucharistic Adoration becomes commonly realized.. Amen!

We all need to Champion Adoration. We cannot be content to go to Adoration when we feel like it. We have to bring others to Adoration

In The Soul of the Apostolate by Jean-Baptiste Chautard, a book recommended by a number of spiritual organizations to their members, the author places a strong emphasis on the interior life of prayer as the foundation for any external apostolic work. He argues that without a deep, disciplined life of prayer, any external activity will be spiritually fruitless and ineffective.

Key Points from Chautard’s Teaching:

1. Primacy of the Interior Life: Chautard stresses that the interior life—the life of prayer, contemplation, and union with God—is more important than external works. He believes that apostolic efforts without a solid interior foundation risk becoming mere activism, lacking spiritual power.
   
   
2. Prayer as Labor: Chautard acknowledges that maintaining a vibrant prayer life is hard work. He draws attention to the effort, perseverance, and discipline required to sustain a life of prayer, especially for those engaged in active ministry. He warns against neglecting prayer in favor of external works, as this will lead to burnout and spiritual dryness.
   
   
3. Active Life Rooted in Contemplation: For Chautard, external works (apostolate) must flow from an interior life rooted in prayer. He illustrates that, like a tree drawing life from its roots, a person must draw spiritual strength from God through prayer to produce good fruit in their apostolic activities. Without this grounding, any outward work will be hollow.
   
   
4. Balance of Action and Contemplation: Chautard refers to the example of great saints who combined intense prayer with active ministry, showing that the two are not opposed but complementary. He advocates for a proper balance, where prayer feeds action, and action leads back to deeper prayer.
   
   
5. Prayer as Essential for True Success: According to Chautard, true success in apostolic work doesn’t come from human effort alone but from grace, which is obtained through prayer. He teaches that those involved in ministry must prioritize their own relationship with God to be effective instruments of His will.

Summary:

In The Soul of the Apostolate, Chautard teaches that prayer is not only essential but hard work, requiring dedication and perseverance. He insists that the interior life of prayer is the source of all apostolic fruitfulness, and without it, external works will be spiritually empty. True apostolic success is found when action flows from a deep, disciplined, and prayerful union with God. Therefore, Chautard calls for a balance between contemplation and action, with a focus on the primacy of the interior life.
