My 11-year old niece visited over the weekend and after Mass saw a sign-up sheet for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. She asked what that was and whether it was the "8th sacrament", which is certainly no reflection on her since she's a very bright girl. (She goes to a Catholic school by the way.)
A little googling led me to a pretty good summary of what Adoration is all about right here within St. Blog's...
Elsewhere:
One time when Blessed Mother Teresa was visiting in our country, a group of American women asked her what they could do to help her in her work. Blessed Mother Teresa replied, "The greatest help they could give her would be to spend one hour each week in silent adoration before the Blessed Sacrament". That is good advice for us too.
