Adoration?

I have felt God calling me to participate in Adoration since before Easter, but I have yet to do so. There are 2 perpetual adoration chapels in my area, but when I tried one, the door was locked. Do I have to call first or something?

I was excited to see that the chapel was filled with prayer materials and old books, but I had no need for them last night. The hour passed so quickly that I didn't even have time to pray a Rosary.

At one point, I put in my earbuds to listen to my daily meditations by Pope Benedict XVI app which happened to be on Eucharistic Adoration. Wonderful experience.

The person scheduled after me didn't show up last night. It's a perpetual adoration chapel, so I was supposed to stay, wasn't I? I did, and I'm definitely not complaining - I had some much needed quality time with Jesus. I just wanted to know, for future reference, if I should try to call the scheduled adorer next time, or just wait. My hour is late at night , so I didn't really feel comfortable calling, but what is customary in such cases?

I have stayed, but I have seen guidelines for some parishes saying it is not necessary. I suggest you check with your parish office.

Will do. Thanks.

Typically Eucharistic Adoration is a personal devotion. I think you spend your time, and if the other person doesn't show, it's not your responsibility to contact them. It's their personal responsibility.
