A TIME FOR SILENCE AND PRAYER
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Monday to Saturday
3:00–4:45 pm
The Basílica dos Congregados invites you to adore Jesus present in the Eucharist, with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Benediction and the recitation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
You are welcome to join this time of prayer or simply come in for a few moments of quiet prayer.
Chaplet of Divine Mercy
This devotion is rooted in the spiritual experience of Saint Faustina Kowalska. It is a prayer of trust in God’s mercy, asking for mercy for us and for the whole world.
