Long Beach California- Anyone Live There?
« on: October 05, 2018, 08:33:08 AM »
Blessed-

For the better part of the last year, I have been frequenting a certain Catholic Parish in Downtown Long Beach California, that has perpetual adoration, and confession on Fridays..

Unfortunately, many times I have gone in, there have been a very minimal amount of the Faithful (Sometimes none at all), that to me, needs to be rectified.

I am contemplating assembling a group of the Faithful of Tradition, to make either weekly, or Bi-Monthly, Friday night adoration meetings in order to Pray for the many difficult times our Nation, Church and People face these days.  

The focus would be on Adoration, Rosary and Prayer, as well as writings from the "Apostolic Church Fathers" (The early 1st century books and Letters that were not included in the final assembly of the New Testament, but for the first 200+ years, were part of the Early Christian Liturgy and study).

The Parish itself is gorgeous inside, with traditional Roman Frescos that decorate all of the walls, stained glass windows, many small inlets for Marian Prayers, Adoration and the like.

There are also one to two Priests that accept confession between 5pm and 6pm.. (sometimes it stretches on)..

If anyone here lives close to this region, please speak up, and hopefully this would be something that may interest many...

GOD Bless and All the best!

Many Traditionalists would question whether what you're "adoring" may not just be an ordinary piece of bread.

I do hope that others will be able to support you in your endeavor, though there may not be any others from this forum that will do so, even though Bishop Williamson has said that it would be a mistake to think that there is no faith left in the Novus Ordo.

Even though I was born in St. Mary hospital in Long Beach, I have not lived in that area for a long time.

I do think that it is a good thing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament in adoration, even in a Novus Ordo parish. Several years ago, I spent many hours praying during Adoration at a Dominican Novus Ordo parish for a family member who had cancer, and the prognosis for her was not good. However, my prayers were answered regarding this family member, and she now lives cancer-free.

Your time spent with Our Lord will not be in vain. I wish you well.

based on what.. adoration goes back to the beginning...
Are you saying it may not be an actual consecrated host?

My daughter was born at St. Marys! :)
I do not feel my time is spent in vain at all... I have been doing it for a while now for my own personal prayer intentions and devotions...
I thought I would reach out here to see if anyone lived in my area and wanted to participate.
