ADORATION
We have been preparing our hearts for Adoration and during this wonderful season of Advent the students decided that they were truly ready for the beauty and reverence that Adoration holds. We went to Adoration for the first time as a class after many months of preparation. Each student genuflected on both knees, had a seat, and took a few moments with Jesus. Some students prayed others listened but all together everyone felt the beauty and Grace of God.
After Adoration we came back to class and the students wrote a reflection on what they felt in Adoration. Each year I am truly touched with how close to God the students are. Here are some of the beautiful writing responses that I read.
