Eucharistic Adoration	Trevor	Monday, April 28, 2008
Question: If it is my shift at Exposed Adoration and nobody is there except Jesus and I, could I sing some of my favourite hymns out loud in praise, or should I still remain silent? I know we may sing during Benediction when there is a service, but can I sing in His presence during Exposed Adoration if it is only Jesus and I there and it won't bother anyone else? May I sing hymns to Jesus if I am alone in Unexposed Adoration when He is reserved in the Tabernacle? What if a small group of us all wanted to sing together in Unexposed Adoration when there is no Benediction? Is that OK? Thanks.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Trevor: As long as no one else is present except you, or you and your group, you may sing to your heart's content. Obviously if someone else were to come in you will need to respect their desire and need to pray and thus remain silent. God Bless, Bro.

Dear Trevor:

Obviously if someone else were to come in you will need to respect their desire and need to pray and thus remain silent.
