contents <p><span lang="IN">This study explores the role of Eucharistic Adoration as a spiritual coping mechanism among seminarians undergoing priestly formation at Lazaris Seminary, Congregatio Missionis, Malang. Amid increasing psychological and spiritual demands within seminary life, Eucharistic Adoration is often practiced as a form of personal devotion. However, its potential impact on emotional resilience and spiritual well-being remains underexplored. Employing a qualitative phenomenological method grounded in Husserlian philosophy, the study investigates how seminarians experience and interpret Eucharistic Adoration as a response to emotional, academic, and vocational stress. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations with eight seminarians across different stages of formation, supported by document analysis and theological literature. The findings reveal that Adoration provides a transformative space for self-reflection, emotional regulation, and vocational clarity. Participants reported increased inner peace, deeper intimacy with God, and improved capacity to manage psychological distress. Regular engagement with Adoration also enhanced interpersonal relationships and spiritual maturity. The study concludes that Eucharistic Adoration functions not only as devotional practice but also as an effective form of spiritual and psychological support within seminary formation. These findings underscore the importance of integrating structured Adoration into seminary programs as part of holistic priestly formation in the face of contemporary spiritual and psychological challenges.</span></p>
