Thread: Online Adoration (monk-free, this time)

A little while ago I was able to find links to a couple of sites providing online webcam worship of our Lord in His Most Blessed Sacrament.
This service was once provided by an order of devout monks who alas no longer seem to be with us ![[Frown]](frown.gif) but was eagerly watched by many in Ecclesiantics in their day-to-day life.
I can now no longer find the other site that was available either, but I have found Saviour.org, a Roman Catholic site apparently dedicated to this very purpose ('Jesus is our CEO', apparently).
Deserves its own thread, no?
Feel free to share or to provide any other resources for online Adoration. Our blessed Lord will be the same, but we can always compare monstrances...

Wasn't there something else couple of weeks ago?
It looked really real to me then and had flowers that looked so real they would need changing; giving the possibility of a screen capture of a "flower lady" (of either gender or both) doing said changing and arranging...if not actual munx...
IIRC

Checking in for a hit if MBS at 12:45AM, Weds, Nov 28:
I see the curtain or dossal behind the monstrance has been changed to all white.The monstrance itself appears to have spiky metal points affixed at random, odd angles, no doubt to represent in moderne fashion, spiky, odd, random rays of grace? power? glory? A very 1950s style piece of work..
Gerry Schrack's flowers are holding up well.
Unfortunately, the bare, direct flood lighting casts dark, rather lugubrious shadows from all those objects onto the background curtain.That does make the whole scene decidedly haunting or unsettling to watch for long.

Yes there was, I think the church was called St. Martin's and may have been in Kentucky, but I've not been able to relocate it.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated!

dj-o, here's a link to the St Martin of Tours website in Louisville KY. The place is quite extraordinary, and not just in its rites!
st martin of tours
Click on worship and then on Adoration Chapel from the pull-down. Note: today it seems to come up blank, but I've seen it often.
And don't miss the coverage of their re-interment of relics of their two Roman saints -- complete skeletons, no less.
Everything is extraordinary!

I love the Martin of Tours site and watched it a lot when it was first linked to on the other thread. It is so peaceful and calming. I kept the window open and looked at it for a few moments every so often.
Haven't seen it for a couple of weeks as I have not had internet access.
The candles and flowers are changed regularly and I keep hoping I will see someone doing it.
There is something about it being live that makes it meaningful. I just sit and watch the screen. Or maybe I am just a sad git who should get a life.
I can only get the picture in Google Chrome. IE9 just puts a little image icon in the top right of the screen. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

There is something very stilling about pausing for a moment to see this.
I have to say it does raise questions with me too, like what happens on Good Friday?
How often is the Sacrament 'renewed'...
But maybe 'these are foolish questions'!
It is a simple and kind ministry they offer the world.

I was just reminiscing about our Munx of Adoration by way of the Wayback Machine. One can still hear the sort of Sprechstimme with which the offices were recited here (right-click and download the mp3 for each office), and one can still see a static image from the live cam of the Blessed Sacrament. If you explore other dates at the top, you can find other images as well.

I have been to Benediction many times, and to Mass. I don't look at the Blessed Sacrament; I have never looked at Benediction and have not looked up at Mass for many years. I stopped looking a decade or so ago when the priest at our church started saying the Eucharistic prayer with his hands outstretched to either side, and I got used to not looking.
I only look when I am holding the Host in my hand, so that I don't drop it.
But it is lovely to see this image online. It is a real gift.

That would be a strange way of expressing respect. Hands made by God to do God's work are surely holy enough to hold the Blessed Sacrament; as holy as the tongue anyway.

What are you worried about?
Stare at anything long enough with an open and concentrated enough mind and you'll "get religion".

Well, for some maybe, but not for others. Those who do receive only on the tongue do so out of respect, I understand. Why else would they do it?
I always receive in the hand, unless the custom of the church is otherwise. But my point was linked to ACR's insistence on not even *looking* at the sacrament. I have to say that this is the first time I'd ever heard of anyone avoiding looking at the sacrament.

I understand that too. But have they thought about what they are doing? Sticking one's tongue out at somebody is usually considered the opposite of respect.

No worse than breadcrumbs left by those of the intinction persuasion...RevC and I had half a chalice each last week ...
A large group Very Reformed from Holland had turned up and wouldn't participate - when will we learn NOT to take them into account in the initial pouring out?
And a medium-sized group of Scots, some of whom were "uncomfortable with the Common Cup".
I know rationally I can rely on the silver plate and 14% alcohol in combination but it's still "icky"
