Improve the Way You Pray in Adoration


The Pocket Guide to Adoration equips Catholics with the tools they need to improve the way they pray and cultivate a deeper relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist.

Drawing from the wisdom of the Church and the writings from spiritual masters like St. Teresa of Avila and Fulton Sheen, Fr. Josh Johnson has produced an evergreen resource that Catholics will want to take with them every time they go to Adoration.


This pocket guide includes:

  • Stories of Eucharistic miracles
  • Lectio divina prompts and reflections
  • Inspiration from the saints
  • Litanies and devotionals, including the Litany of Trust by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia of the Sisters of Life.

Its small size makes it easy to carry, fit into a purse or handbag, or hand out at your parish. It has a beautiful Alpha Cowhide cover that will last for years


This essential pocket guide by Fr. Josh Johnson teaches Catholics:

  • How to remain fixed on the face of Jesus during adoration.
  • What to do with the distractions that will inevitably come in prayer.
  • How to discern with the Holy Spirit the invitation from  Jesus to rest during their time in Eucharistic Adoration.
  • How to overcome spiritual dryness.
  • How to pray with the Sacred Scriptures.
  • How to pray with the mysteries of the Rosary during Adoration.
  • How to pray with the lives of the saints.
  • How to discern practical, concrete actions to take after Adoration.

Catholics who struggle to stay focused in prayer, who struggle to be consistent in their relationship with Jesus, who don’t know what to do in Adoration, or who simply need encouragement and inspiration to get there, will deeply appreciate this tiny but mighty book.

Ordained Ministry

After powerfully encountering Jesus in the Eucharist as a teenager, Fr. Josh Johnson dedicated his life to becoming a wholehearted disciple of Jesus Christ. Ordained for the Diocese of Baton Rouge in 2014, Fr. Josh has dedicated his priesthood to inviting all people to become saints in their walk toward eternity.

Fr. Josh travels widely as a speaker at conferences, retreats, and youth events, and was one of 3 MCs at the historic National Eucharistic Congress in 2024. He is well-known for his popular Ascension podcast Ask Father Josh as well as his Q&A videos on Ascension Presents, one of the largest Catholic YouTube channels in English.

Fr. Josh has written several books with Ascension, including the best-selling Pocket Guide to Reconciliation co-written with Fr. Mike Schmitz and On Earth as It Is in Heaven: Restoring God’s Vision of Race and Discipleship. He appears in many Ascension video programs including Connected: Catholic Social Teaching for This Generation, and his latest book—the Pocket Guide to Overcoming the Seven Deadly Sins—is the topic of the 2025 Lenten program in the Ascension App.

He can often be found praying the Rosary and walking in the neighborhoods of his parish, inviting those under his pastoral care to become intentional disciples of Jesus Christ.

Like a Big Warm Embrace

This book was a warm welcome to me when I came back to the church.

Even more helpful in helping me prepare myself to spend time with Jesus during adoration. This book has scripture, suggestions and prayers. I highly recommend this book.

Jesus I thirst for you.

Adoration Book

I just received this book last week. I bring it with me when I go to Adoration. I love it soo much. Bringing me closer to Jesus.
Jesus is my Rock and I can speak to him always. My conversation with Him is so very special to me. 🙏🙏
Keep praying because God hears our Prayers. Jesus I Love You 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for a great Book of Adoration

Invaluable

I’ve had this for several years now, and it’s helped me to focus my thoughts during adoration. In particular, there is a reflection on Jesus’ words “I Thirst” that have really gripped my heart. It’s Jesus speaking directly to the reader explaining his love for them (because we all need to be reminded, don’t we!). If for no other reason, I would tell anyone to buy the book for this reflection.

Excellent Adoration Companion

This is an excellent Adoration companion, especially if you are looking for some guidance in keeping your mind focused on the purpose of Adoration.

I found the negative reviews so sad because they totally miss the mark of what this book's purpose is and are just focusing on human negativity. First of all, don't buy it if you think it's too expensive; secondly, it's not a catechism resource - it is for those who want to focus on Adoration of our Lord. Finally, everyone who says it should be "better," go create something better!
Thank you, Father Josh, for such a wonderful spiritual Adoration companion. I think it is TOTALLY worth the price!

Always with me at Adoration

This is a beautiful book and one that has definitely deepened my spiritual experience as a committed adorer at our parish’s Adoration Chapel. I especially love the I Thirst reflection in the Appendix which is so moving and fills my heart so much with love for Jesus Christ. Thank you Father Josh so much for this treasure.

It may be pocket size but the information is gigantic. It is the best book on the subject that I have ever read. Totally love it!

A Suggestion

Beautiful little book! Fits in my bag really easily. Honestly I would support anything that promotes adoration since it is a beautiful practice. I haven't finished reading this book just yet but the feedback I would give is that I had bought it thinking that there would be a separate section for the prayers commonly said during adoration. In future copies of this book I would strongly recommend including the latin versions of O Salutaris Hostia, Tantum Ergo, the end prayer for the Divine Praises, Salve Regina and Holy God we Praise Thy Name, since these are all commonly prayed during adoration (and I had bought this hoping to follow along so I wouldn't forget the words). Otherwise, for anyone wishing to spend time with the Lord and to deepen their faith, adoration is one of the most wonderful ways to do so, And if this little book helps you to get there, would strongly recommend it. (4 stars for the above reason, although there is space at the end of the book to handwrite them).

Beautiful Book

The Pocket Guide to Adoration is a beautiful book. The content is written in a way that is easy to understand and brings you much closer to God. It will be with me every time I go to Adoration.

Just what I was looking for!

I have bought several books on adoration, trying to find one that truly brought me into the Lord's presence. None of them hit the mark until I found my needs answered in Fr. Josh's Pocket Guide to Adoration. All of the meditations and prayers are so profound and uplifting, all at the same time. Thank you!

Just what I wanted!

I had been looking for something that gave me information, food for thought and something that encouraged me to go deeper. Your little book leads me to do just that! In just a few pages it provides a lesson, gets me thinking and leads me to continue further in that topic.
I like that it's not dated and has a ribbon so I don't repeat a lesson too soon, unless I want to ...

Devotional

Lovely devotional- I bought 3 and gave 2 away-may order more. Leather cover, ribbon bookmark, imprimatur, all the right ingredients! Excellent explanation of Lectio Divina- prayerful reading of Scripture and a well thought out book that you can read in order or jump around. Sure to keep me busy in Adoration. Well done Father!

Very engaging and helpful..

I have always loved spending time with our Lord in the blessed sacrament. The adoration in my parish every first Friday is from 9:30 - 11:30 am. I have been taking this book for the past 3 months and each time, it has been a wonderful spiritual experience. It helps reduce distractions and concentrate on thoughts of our Lord. It is a wonderful book that makes us want to spend more time with our Lord.

Not For Those New To Or Returning

I am what you might call a "revert." In my late 50s, I just returned to Catholiscm after being away for over 40 years. Before I left, I didn't have a solid foundation in the faith. I didn't find this book to be as helpful as I expected. I needed something more step-by-step. I enjoyed reading Father Josh's personal story, and about the Eucharistic miracles, and I am especially grateful for the Litany of Trust on the back pages. But I would only recommend this book to people who are more knowledgeable about Christ, the saints and the Bible.

Very helpful to stay focused during Adoration

I recently purchased this book as I participate in a weekly hour of adoration at my church. I often find it difficult to stay focused during adoration, and I have found this little book to be very helpful in that regard. I think that many will find this useful.

Expensive for bulk.

Cost way too much if I was buying more than 10 for my parish. $24.95 each is too much.

Quality time

This pocket guide has helped me spend quality time with the Lord in Adoration. I wish there was a less expensive version to give out to friends.

Like it but can be better

I like the book, but is a little too big for a pocket, larger than a phone, I hope your second batch is a little smaller

Pocket Guide to Adoration

I gave this book only 2 stars, not because it was not a wonderful book, but because it is so outrageously expensive. It is a small book easy to carry and the leather is very nice, but it is what is inside that is important. If you could make it a paperback and much less expensive so all Adorers could afford it, or the church could afford to supply them for their adorers, I think it would be worth purchasing. At the present price it is to expensive for everyone.
