Several weeks ago, while out walking alone, I wandered into the 24 hour prayer chapel at our local Catholic church. While there, I noticed they needed pereptual adorers. Since they thought is that the Lord should never be left alone, someone's scheduled to be there 24/7. I took the phone number and called.

I first shared that I was Presbyterian and I didn't know if that would count me out. He kindly said that they accept all Christian believers.

Long story short. I'm gearing up to go do my one hour a week at the chapel. It's my 4th week and I absolutely love it. You enter through a gorgeous garden and then step into total peace and quiet while people reverently come and go, lighting candles, praying, reading prayer books, praying the rosary, and sitting in complete silence. What a retreat.

Wishing everyone some quiet time to reflect upon God's grace!

A whole hour of silence sounds wonderful, Dotsie. I think we all need some time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life to pause and reflect.

The Holy Eucharist in the Tabernacle is the causal principle of the Christian Church and to keep a Holy Hour vigil is love for love. The silence of Holy Hour is also a strong reflection of Matthew 26:38 "Stay here and watch with Me". So, perhaps, it is Blessed serendipity that you found the Chapel, Dotsie.

When I have sat with any loved one during illness
and passing there is that sense of

"stay here and watch with me" (lower case)..

connecting with the big picture...

Thanks for all the replies. I continue to enjoy the silence and deliberate prayer time.
