Why Adoratio?
A real renewal of the Church is only possible through prayer. In countless places in this world where there are lively awakenings in the Church, they are grounded in Eucharistic adoration and similar forms and movements of prayer. We need concrete places where people can encounter God. Adoratio wants to be such a place and encourage giving new space to prayer in private and in the parish, and taking necessary steps for a renewal of faith in our country.
Christ renews us and the world – we want to collaborate in this renewal.
