A Holy Hour Companion Prayer, Scripture, Reflection, Ritual 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, A Holy Hour Companion contains an assortment of the prayers of holy women and men, both time-honored and contemporary.
