Adoration

"Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years
out of 33 in silence; who began his public life by
spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to
spend the night on a mountain in silence. He who spoke
with authority, now spends his earthly life in silence. Let
us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence."

They come,
tired children
of the town,
In this hushed place
to bow them down.
From student life
a moment free,
A broker says
his rosary
Next to the finger-
crippled sire,
Unknown, who tends
his office fire.
Prays a sad
Magdalen beside
A woman in mourning
and a bride.
A dancer quietly kneels;
by her,
Comrade to God,
a carpenter.
Bringing their burdens
of distress
They come as to
the wilderness.
Ah, Christ, with what
tremendous food
Again Thou feedest
the multitude!

St. Hilary Eucharistic Adoration and Intercessory Prayer
Ministry For the Renewal of Our Community and Our World

There are different ways to “watch one hour” with the Lord. One
of the most powerful and fruitful ways is to spend an hour in the
presence of the Blessed Sacrament. We call this a Holy Hour
because it is an hour spent in the presence of the Holy Eucharist:
Christ, Himself, the One who alone is Holy.

There are also different ways to make a Holy Hour: you can pray
alone or with others before Jesus in the Tabernacle; or you can
pray in the presence of the exposed Blessed Sacrament, privately
or at a public service led by a priest or deacon.

You can sign up for one hour on a regular basis or fill in for
someone occasionally. The sign up sheet is in the hall just outside
the chapel. More information is available at the chapel.
