taking prayer requests

[jade_sabre]

Hey y'all,

I've signed up to do half an hour of Adoration every Wednesday, so from now on I'll be taking prayer requests on that day. So just comment if you have anything. Um...if you would rather me screen comments, I can do that, just let me know, also in a comment? Email/messages/whatever also works.

Have a good day!

Love,
Jade

Could you pray for my sanity, please, and for brain power as I start studying for the GRE. Matthew is studying as well, and while he has the math part down, he is a bit worried about the vocab.

Um, also for some insight as to what I should do with my life, i.e., should I go out and find a job in BME (like my dad and grandparents think) or should I go to grad school for something other than BME. I'm not sure exactly how you can make that a prayer request, but it's really bothering me that I don't know what to do, and also that I would be going against the advice of some people (who are older and wiser) if I went and did something else, like physical therapy, which I have no real experience in (I need to shadow some PTs) but I think would be a cool job.

May I ask what Adoration is?

And thanks for the offer. I'll be sure to send along prayer requests if I've got any. :)

well, so, you have the Eucharist, right? Jesus-in-communion-wafer. So, when he's not getting distributed/eaten (i.e. after Mass, when you have extra [H?]hosts [i.e. transubstantiated communion wafers]), he usually hangs out in the tabernacle (generally located behind the altar). But sometimes, they take out a host and stick it in a monstrance (big shiny gold thing, often with sun-like rays, with a glass circle in the middle for holding said hosts), and then Jesus hangs out in his shiny monstrance, usually on an altar, and people sit and pray and think in front of him--he's exposed, as it were, instead of chilling behind the tabernacle doors. And the idea is that while he's exposed, there should always be one or two people with him--stay here and keep watch with me. So, Eucharistic Adoration. At my home parish, we have a chapel of Perpetual Adoration--there's someone with him 24/7.

...yeah, and people think we're crazy. IT'S OKAY, JESUS UNDERSTANDS.
