The Holy Hour: Meditations for Eucharistic Adoration

Friends, “The Holy Hour: Meditations for Eucharistic Adoration” is a beautiful devotional book meant to help draw readers toward the mysterious silence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

A Holy Hour is simply a sustained, uninterrupted hour of prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.

Fulton Sheen, the great prophet and advocate of the Holy Hour, once said of the practice, “Even when it seemed so unprofitable and lacking in spiritual intimacy, I still had the sensation of being at least like a dog at the master’s door, ready in case he called me.”

The Christian life is not about studying or drawing inspiration from a figure from the distant past; rather, it is about being in a personal relationship with Christ. This is realized, very powerfully, in the Holy Hour.

I hope this collection of meditations on the Eucharist—a mix of hymns, poetry, prayers, reflections from some of the great heroes of Word on Fire, and some of my own writings on the Eucharist over the years—might inspire you to stay close to Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

The Master is waiting for us; let us watch an hour with him and listen for his call.
