I was incredibly nervous as I made my way to St. Patrick’s Church in Rolla. I had never, or at least as far as I could remember, never gone go Adoration before that. However, when we were invited at Mass to go to Adoration, the Lord put it on my heart to accept the invitation. I was going by myself and determined to do as God was calling me, but I also had no idea what to expect or what I should be doing when I get there.
I opened the door to the chapel and looked inside. There were about few people there. Some sitting, some kneeling. I quickly found a seat and went there, while trying to make it look like I knew what I was doing. “Should I be sitting or kneeling? I can sit. Now what? Um, now I kneel. Lord, I don’t know what I am doing, but I’m here.”
