If Jesus is to become the center of our life, we need to spend time in His presence, before the Tabernacle.
Pope FrancisRead

True worship doesn't put on a show or make a fuss; true worship isn't forced, isn't half-hearted, doesn't keep looking at its watch, doesn't worry what the person in the next pew is doing. True worship is open to God, adoring God, waiting for God, trusting God even in the dark.
