Adoration of Jesus Christ exposed in the Blessed Sacrament is an ancient practice of the Catholic Church which has in recent years seen a significant resurgence across the country and the world. Pope Francis testifies to the importance of Eucharistic Adoration in his life: "What I really prefer is adoration in the evening, even when I get distracted and think of other things, or even fall asleep praying.

Think mind reading is science fiction?
Think again.
Scientists have used brain scanners to detect and reconstruct the faces that people are thinking of, according to a study accepted for publication this month in the journal NeuroImage.
