^{5 TIPS TO HELP YOUR CHILDREN EMBRACE ADORATION}

1. Use language at their level to explain that Adoration is a special time to be with Jesus, who is truly present in the Eucharist. You can compare it to visiting a friend they love spending time with.

2. Include them in preparing to go to Adoration, such as bringing along their Bible or prayer book.

3. Start with short visits and gradually increase the time as they become more accustomed to going.

4. Show your children how to be quiet and reverent. Modeling goes a long way! Expect your children to find this hard at first, but practice makes perfect over time.

5. Be sure to praise your children for their efforts during Adoration! Celebrate small wins, such as sitting quietly for a certain amount of time. You'll want to make sure it's a positive experience for them.

PRAYER BEFORE THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

I adore you Jesus, true God, and true man,

present in the Holy Eucharist,

kneeling before you and united in spirit with all the faithful on earth and all the saints in heaven.

In gratitude for so great a blessing,

I love you with all my heart,

for you are worthy of all praise and adoration.

Lord Jesus Christ, may I never offend you with my lack of love.

May your Eucharistic presence refresh me in body and soul.

Mary, Mother of the Eucharistic Lord, pray for me and obtain for me a greater love for Jesus.

Amen.
