The public can now attend an hour-long Eucharistic Adoration every second Tuesday of the month in front of St. Peter's Basilica.
The first adoration, held on March 14, was led by Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica. Prayers were offered for Pope Francis in honor of the 10th anniversary of his pontificate.
The initiative is a new addition to the pastoral outreach of the Basilica. Last fall, the Basilica released Lectio Petri, a set of meetings to reflect on various aspects of St. Peter's life.
