Q: Why should Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament never be left alone?
A: Christ is fully present to us-body, blood, soul and divinity-through the miracle of the Holy Eucharist. He should never be abandoned as he was in the Garden of Gethsemane by the twelve apostles, (MT 26:56)
Q: How many scheduled adorers are needed for each hour?
A: The USCCB mandates two Adorers be scheduled for each hour. However, having three Scheduled Adorers is preferred so if an Adorer doesn’t show there will still be two Adorers present.
