Meaning of “Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration”
Perpetual Adoration or round-the-clock prayer has been a cherished practice of FSPA since August 1, 1878—hence our name: Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. Continuously, day and night, at least two people have been praying before the Blessed Sacrament. It is a way of maintaining awareness of God's presence in our lives and keeping vigil for the community, the city of La Crosse, Wis., the church, and the world. Each person has a human need to adore. It is one's response when contemplating all the wonder that is in daily life. This tradition of perpetual adoration reminds us, hour after hour, of God's presence in our lives and our need to be present in others' lives.
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Through perpetual eucharistic adoration, we offer God continuous praise and thanksgiving before the Blessed Sacrament exposed on the altar. Nurtured and strengthened by Jesus' presence, we live out this adoration in our daily lives as we strive to help those in need. Click here to return to the Perpetual Adoration page.
