Friday, August 7
Each day in the Diocese of Orange, Adoration is taking place around the clock at one of the parish churches. St. Bonaventure has taken the 7th of each month as our special day of 24-hour Adoration. Please come spend a holy hour with Jesus on August 7-8! Holy hours are the Roman Catholic Devotional tradition of spending an hour in Eucharistic Adoration in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Your gift of one hour, day or night, will bring many blessings!

“The Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass brings to us Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Real Presence of His Body and Blood. Eucharistic Adoration with Exposition of The Blessed Sacrament provides time for each of us to spend in adoration, prayer, and conversation with our Lord Jesus Christ in His Real Presence. It is worthwhile remembering that Fr. Karl Rahner, SJ, once said that the presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament is “the Mass held in meditation.” Each individual adorer, the parish, the diocese, our country and the world, benefits from our faithful participation in this ministry. We live in a time in which prayer is needed for grace, mercy and protection from the forces against God which challenge us daily.” - Bishop Vann
