There are lots of ways to pray during virtual Eucharistic Adoration! Here are a few ideas to get you started!
- Pray the Joyful, Luminous, Glorious, or Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary.
- Prayerfully meditate on the daily mass readings or any passage from the Bible. Try using Lectio Divina or Ignatian Gospel Contemplation to dive deeper into a familiar Scripture passage.
- Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a great prayer for anytime and especially at the 3:00 PM hour of Divine Mercy.
- Prayerfully meditate on each line of a litany, such as the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Litany of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, the Litany of Loreto (Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary), or the Litany of St. Joseph.
- Talk to the Lord about your day. The Examen is an Ignatian five-step prayer method to review your day with God. For variations on the traditional Examen, try Reimagining the Ignatian Examen by Fr. Mark Thibodeaux.
