"Just about two years ago, I had occasion to make a monastic retreat that included the gift and privilege of perpetual adoration. The community of Dominican nuns kept constant vigil, one-by-one with our lord, present in the Eucharist, and they invited me to do the same in their public chapel, throughout the night, if I liked."
In a recent commentary in First Things, Elizabeth Scalia reflected on a powerful experience she underwent when spending some time in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament (at Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Guilford, CT). This experience is still affecting her today.
