The Holy Hour

A wonderful prayer resource for parishes, schools, religious communities and retreat centers! It will also prove a lasting resource for personal devotion before the Blessed Sacrament. All 12 of these Holy Hour services are complete resources including the full text of hymns, psalms, readings, invocations, meditations litanies and prayers. Includes celebrations for Advent and Lent, Holy Week and ordinary time, children and some that can be led by a lay person.

"When we come into the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament we can bring a litany of different feelings: what hurts us or what haunts us, what delights us and what distresses us; what we secretly hunger for and what we dread the most in life. Who knows what people bring in through the doorway of a church or what secret burdens they carry? But picture for a moment coming into the presence of the one who already knows our fears, our awkwardness, our weaknesses, our secret compulsions and the whole story of our life. Imagine coming into the presence of the one who knows us better than we know ourselves and, in spite of all that, stubbornly loves us...this is true in the presence of our beloved Lord."
