Time alone with God - Adoration Room

I refer to myself going to the Adoration Room every now and then in my posts. Some of you may be wondering what that is. I'm not an expert and anyone who knows better is free to contact me to correct me. Usually, Catholic churches have a room where people can go to pray apart from attending Mass. It's not really just a chapel. In this room, there is usually a Monstrance where the consecrated host is placed in (whereas a chapel may not). This consecrated host is exposed for people to show devotion to God / to adore God. By adoring, we mean respectful worship. Utmost respect is required in an Adoration Room. You would usually find people sitting there in silence. They could be reading the bible, reading any other literature, saying the prayers of the Rosary, meditating or just sitting in silence. Bearing in mind that Catholics believe that the presence of Christ is in a consecrated host, everything you do inside, is done with utmost reverance. No texting, phone calls or chatting, please!

For me personally, I hear God's messages best if I'm sitting silently, with my eyes closed in Adoration Room. I prefer to go alone, knowing no one inside and having no one waiting for me outside. It's alone time for God and I. When I am 'meditating', I rarely open my eyes to see anyone else who enters or leaves the room.

I sometimes feel the call of God to go to Adoration Room. At the last call, He had prompted me to go to Him. I was driving and I knew that God put it in my heart and mind that I had to go to Adoration Room in our church even though I was already in the opposite direction. On top of that, His invitational message was, "Come my child, come into the Glory of the Lord". I WAS grumbling a bit to Him, asking Him why He couldn't just say what He had to say to me because I was evidently already hearing His promptings wasn't I? But His promptings were urgent and I felt it. Later, when I obeyed and drove myself to church AND heard His messages, I knew why. Go on, find time to sit with God and chat. You may not know what to say to Him but He may have messages for you!
