Over the next couple of days, the seminary will continue a tradition of having the Blessed Sacrament exposed for forty hours. All of the seminarians really look forward to this tradition and spending time at the feet of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Here is an excerpt from the Seminary website about the last 40 Hours Devotion that we participated in at the beginning of the Fall semester.

The time of adoration began Friday with Solemn Evening Prayer and Exposition in the main chapel of St. Raphael. The entire community then participated in a procession with the Blessed Sacrament to the chapel of the McCarthy House, where the monstrance was placed on the altar for the forty hours of devotion to begin.
Two seminarians were assigned to each hour, even throughout the night. Many went to spend time with the Lord in the Eucharist outside their assigned hours. By experiencing such intimate communion with the Lord, we prayed as a community that we would receive the graces to live in reality as Men of Communion with the Lord and with each other. It was a beautiful way to begin the academic semester.

The 40 Hours Devotion will conclude tomorrow morning with a procession from the McCarthy House Chapel to the Chapel of St. Raphael, solemn morning prayer, Benediction, and morning Mass.
