Eucharistic Adoration

The call of Eucharistic adoration is, among other things, a call to present ourselves to the Real Presence of Jesus Christ. But what are we supposed to do at Eucharistic adoration? How do we do this right? How do we make this prayer count?

Our Sunday Visitor offers a pamphlet that answers all of these questions and more!

Catherine of Siena Institute Called and Gifted Discernment Process

WANT TO MAKE CHARISM DISCERNMENT A PART OF THE LIFE OF YOUR PARISH OR DIOCESE?

The Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process has been used since 1993 by over 200,000 lay, ordained, and religious Catholics and other Christians around the world. It is designed to help Christians discern the presence of charisms in their lives. Charisms, or spiritual gifts, are special abilities given to all Christians by the Holy Spirit to give them power both to represent Christ and to be a channel of God’s goodness for people. Whether extraordinary or ordinary, all charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003).
