WHAT DO I DO DURING A HOLY HOUR?
A holy hour is an exercise of love, not a project to be accomplished.
You can say the Rosary, read a spiritual book, read some prayers, listen to contemplative music, or you can just do nothing and simply rest with the Lord.
What happens as we contemplate the presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament?
When we contemplate Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament we are given the opportunity to thank him for his passion, death, and glorious resurrection, the marvelous saving act that brought about our redemption. Christ draws near to us, more intimate with us than we are with ourselves. He strengthens our share in his divine life, the life that transforms us into his likeness and, in the Spirit, he gives us access to the Father.
