Jesus said to his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?” Matthew 26:40. A holy hour is a time of worship where we spend one hour completely devoted to Christ in prayer. Holy hours are most commonly prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament in Adoration, however you can also have a holy hour at home with family or friends.
CBCEW have produced eight themed PDF downloads to provide guided prayer and reflection, with moments of silence in the presence of the Lord, to encourage people to be open to how Jesus is speaking to each of us. It is important to note that each of the holy hours can be led as a communal act of worship, or in a more personal and contemplative way.
The themes are:
Creation
Eucharist
Forgivenes
Jubilee
Justice
Marriage and Family
Risen Jesus
Vocation
