The practice of spending an hour in quiet prayer, in Eucharistic adoration or otherwise, has been part of the Christian tradition for centuries.
A Holy Hour Companion
provides a starting point for this quiet time, offering a selection of prayers, Scripture, and spiritual writings. In addition to traditional prayers of the Church and prayers specifically for use during Eucharistic adoration,
contains an assortment of the prayers of holy women and men, both time-honored and contemporary. A sample Order of Service for a Lay-Led Holy Hour provides everything needed to engage in these prayers as individuals or in community.
