    Adoration

    Chapel for Europe Rue Van Maerlantstraat 22-24, Brussels, Belgium

    SIDE EVENT OF THE 27th ANNUAL EUROPEAN PRAYER BREAKFAST ADORATION at the Chapel for Europe on Wednesday, 4 December 14:30 - 16:00 During days of many commitments, we invite you to meet Jesus also in a time of quiet personal prayer. Be there yourself, in front of Him, with all that is in your head and your heart, and experience His presence. The Chapel for Europe (3 minutes from the European Parliament, Rue Van Maerlant 22) offers a space for silent prayer. In the afternoon of December 4, the Chapel will be open for personal prayer in silence and adoration. The Body of Christ - in the catholic tradition present in the bread that was consecrated at mass – on the altar leads to an immediate encounter and prayerful personal dialogue with the Lord. The silent time of adoration starts with a short common prayer and ends with a prayer of blessing. You are welcome to join at any moment and stay as long as you can.

  • Rorate Mass

    Chapel for Europe Rue Van Maerlantstraat 22-24, Brussels, Belgium

    Come join the Rorate Masses at the Chapel on Advent Thursdays early morning, at 7:00. Afterwards stay for sharing, breakfast and a nice cup of coffee/tea. In December on Thursday 5, 12 and 19 at 7:00. The “Rorate” Mass is an ancient Advent tradition that takes its name from the opening words of the Introit (which is an opening psalm or antiphon), coming from Isaiah 45:8. “Rorate, caeli, desuper, et nubes pluant justum, aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem.” “Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened and bud forth a Savior.” – Isaiah 45:8 A Rorate  Mass is traditionally celebrated just before dawn during the Advent as a devotion to the Virgin Mary. This Mass in honor of Virgin Mary is a beautiful candlelit Mass that begins in the darkness of early morning. The interplay of light and darkness as the church becomes progressively brighter with the sunrise symbolizes the coming of the Eternal Light, whom we await during the Advent season. What is the History of the Rorate Mass? The Rorate Mass originated in the Middle Ages as one of the many Advent devotions to the Virgin Mary. […]
