ADORATION
Adoration and the Rosary
These two prayer forms are consistently cited by over 70% of newly ordained as being instrumental in their discernment.
Easy Ways to Promote
-
Encourage and offer times of Adoration as well as opportunities for communal praying of the rosary. This helps create a parish culture of prayer through which vocations are more likely to be discerned.
​
-
In addition to offering some form of regular Eucharistic Adoration in your parish, consider ordering some copies of “Nine Holy Hours to Discern the Priesthood”
