The Bible tells us to honor our parents. It also says we should honor civil and religious authorities. And, as good Christians, we pay those people the respect they’re due.
But there’s a kind of honor we must give only to God. That’s the honor of adoration, or worship. Below is a list of chapels in Los Angeles that offer perpetual Adoration as well as a list of prayers for your reference.

Prayer to Discern a Vocation
Lord, there are so many things in my life that I do not understand, so many questions about the future that I need to ask.
What is Your plan for me?
What is the work You want me to do?
All I really know is that You love me.
Show me the road You want me to walk –
to fulfillment, to happiness, to holiness. And if You are calling me to priesthood or to the religious life, give me the strength to say “yes” and the grace to begin even now to prepare myself for the chal- lenge of a life spent in Your service and in the care of Your people. I ask You this in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
Theodore Cardinal McCarrick Archbishop Emeritus of Washington
Prayer to Know One’s Vocation
Lord, my God and my loving Father, you have made me to know you, to love you, to serve you, and thereby to find and to fulfill my deepest long- ings. I know that you are in all things, and that every path can lead me to you.
But of them all, there is one especially by which you want me to come to you. Since I will do what you want of me, I pray you, send your Holy Spirit to me: into my mind, to show me what you want of me; into my heart, to give me the determination to do it, and to do it with all my love, with all my mind, and with all of my strength right to the end. Jesus, I trust in you. Amen
Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; Because He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name; And His mercy is from genera- tion to generation on those who fear Him. He has shown might with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has ex- alted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has given help to Israel, his servant, mindful of His mercy Even as he spoke to our fathers, to Abra- ham and to his posterity forever.
Oración para discernir una vocación
Señor, hay tantas cosas en mi vida que no entien- do, tantas preguntas sobre el futuro que necesito preguntar.
¿Cuál es tu plan para mí?
¿Cuál es la obra que quieres que yo haga?
Lo que si se es que realmente Tú me amas. Muéstrame el camino que quieres que camine, para alcanzar satisfacción, felicidad y santidad.
Y si Tú me estás llamando al Sacerdocio o a la Vida Religiosa, dame la fuerza para decir que "Sí" y dame la gracia para empezar ahora mismo para prepararme para el desafío de una vida dedicada a Tu servicio y para el cuidado de Tu pueblo. Te pido esto en nombre de Jesús.
Amén.
Cardenal Theodore McCarrick Arzobispo Emérito de Washington
Oración para las vocaciones
Padre, tú llamas a cada uno de nosotros por nom- bre y nos pides que te sigamos.
Bendice a tu Iglesia y danos dedicados y generosos líderes de nuestras familias y amigos quienes pue- dan servir a tu pueblo como religiosas, sacerdotes, diáconos y ministros laicos.
Inspíranos mientras crecemos en tu amor y abre nuestros corazones para oír tu llamada. Te lo pedi- mos en nombre de Cristo. Amén.
Magnificat
Proclama mi alma la grandeza del Señor, se alegra mi espíritu en Dios mi Salvador, porque ha mirado la humillación de su esclava. Desde ahora me felici- tarán todas las generaciones porque el Poderoso ha hecho obras grandes por mí. Su nombre es San- to y su misericordia llega a sus fieles de generación en generación. Él hace proezas con su brazo, dis- persa a los soberbios de corazón. Derriba del trono a los poderosos y enaltece a los humildes. A los hambrientos los colma de bienes y a los ricos des- pide vacíos. Auxilia a Israel su siervo, acordándose de su santa alianza según lo había prometido a nuestros padres en favor de Abrahán y su descen- dencia por siempre.
