How to Actually Make a Holy Hour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2019
- Fr. Mark-Mary and Mother Clare teach us how to make a holy hour that is transformative. While the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal both spend an hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament every day, making the best use of that time didn’t always come easy for Fr. Mark-Mary and Mother Clare. It took time for them to notice that Adoration is about the person Jesus, who is there in his Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. He is willing to meet you face to face, heart to heart, and invites you to a deeper faith where our physical senses fail us. Eucharistic adoration is a chance to get in touch with our inner senses.
The Friars and Sisters pray this prayer at the beginning of their holy hour:
“We adore you, most holy Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all your churches throughout the world. And we bless you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.”
This prayer, Fr. Mark-Mary says, can provide a good structure for your time with the Lord in a holy hour.
He also suggests we look at the Creed and all the wondrous names of the Lord therein.
Mother Clare advises that you make sure you direct your thoughts to the Lord, because this is a chance to really have a heart-to-heart with him. Writing in your journal is a good way to do this, since the intentional act of writing helps you pinpoint your thought process.
Also, the Catechism gives a very helpful acronym to help guide our prayer in adoration and always: ACTS (adoration, contrition, thanksgiving, supplication).
Lastly, believe that Adoration is not a waste of time and that God has something extraordinarily useful to say to you. In fact, he has the answers you’re looking for.
Following all this advice from Fr. Mark-Mary and Mother Clare will be life changing.

I went to mass once before my best friend took me to adoration for the first time. Coming from a Protestant background, I absolutely love it. It’s like nothing I have experienced before. My friend almost had to drag me out of the pew after almost two hours passed. I practically begged for her to take me back to mass and adoration. It took her months to get me into a Catholic Church, and now I hardly want to leave.
The Catholic Faithful, welcome you to our Holy Mother Church! Being a Catholic, I feel truly blessed and thankful for my Faith, every day!
The Catholic church is a truly miraculous entity. May more people find this treasure.
This man is a modern Moses. I love this brother. ❤
Pray for me so that I can choose God's will whichever vocation God wants me.
I went to Holy Hour yesterday, and I had a conversation with Him because He was sitting right next to me. So grateful for these videos. I feel like you know exactly what we need. Thank you Jesus! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
I converted to Catholicism about 4 1/2 years ago, but did not even know what Adoration was until last year. I signed up for the weekly holy hour. It was pure torture hour for the first 8-9 months. My legs would get restless, time would drag, I would get extremely sleepy. Then, I started listening to worship music during the hour with my earphones on. Maybe it is not okay to do that, but that's what I was doing and slowly it changed for me. Now, by mid-week I am looking forward to my hour with Jesus on the weekend!
Search for a book on Adoration by Vinnie Flynn. It’s a great guide and humorous too.
About the sleeping... if you sleep, so what? Christ is our best friend, God The Father and The Holy Spirit are also présent at Adoration, which father, if you said “ I just want to spend time with you but I am sleepy, can I still be with you?” Would turn their child away?
@@madgiemadgie9128 Thank you! I will look for that book.
Aradhika Webber psalm 108. 8 My heart is steadfast oh God, I will sing and make melody with all my being.
@@Rich.- Thank you,! Now, I love my Adoration hour and read different books, but sometimes still listen to music.
Hey man, how’s adoration now?
I once had a powerful experience when I only had five minutes to spend in Adoration.
plshaq2009 what was your experience?!
We STAN Mother Clare,
I liked Mother Clare’s presence in this video!
We have adoration a half hour before daily mass. My little heart is just so joyful to be in His presence. We sing O Salutaris Hostia which just immediately brings me in aliment with His Holy presence. Just beautiful. I always give thanks for the privilege of having the freedom to worship Him. It truly is a sacred time. There is no safer place for me than in His whole presence body, blood and divinity.
My dream is be a Saint like st therese of lisieux
You should be a Saint like yourself, Pedro
How beautiful, Pedro! 💖 Didn't she say many other "little souls" would come after her?🌹🌹🌹
@@drcardinalli thanks
Go for it, be not afraid, let the Lord guide you
I can dig it, brother! You got this❤
Thank you for having Mother Clare on. At first I didn’t want to share your short time with us, but now I realize how much she brings to the program and together we all benefit more.
I keep asking God to talk to me and guide me, but most of the times I don't listen, because, for some reason, I don't think He will. Maybe I think He doesn't want to, or that He only will when He think it is important, and than, I always think that is not important, that it is my responsibility and that He is going to let me be with my problems because it is "my task" that He gave me... Now I see that the biggest problem is me, because, when I think that way, I don't even expect or wait for Him to answer... I ask Him His opinion, or whatever, and go away feeling miserable, not giving Him time to speak to me. Great realization for today...
Don't forget to advise fellow Adorers to be as reverent and respectful as possible❣️❣️
I LOVE journaling (sharing my heart with God) during my holy hour to get the whirlwind of thoughts to settle down -- wisdom comes through this. 🙏🏻🙏🏼
Please pray for me and my Godmother Diane and all of our families and friends and neighbors... for conversion and holiness and healing
I pray the Rosary and I bought a book of prayers of Eucharistic Adoration. I pray particular different litanies from the book. Then of course personal prayers. Yes, bring him the "content of my heart"
divine mercy chaplet and rosary are the only thing i do when visiting the blessed sacrament. the rest of it is just immerse in silence and look at Jesus. adoring Him in silence
You could consider saying the litany of the blessed sacrament too. I like it a lot.
Thank you for the teaching on prayer. I am retired now and have all kinds of time to stay in prayer. I used to make holy hours frequently being retired and somewhat homebound and I always thought distractions were because of my busy schedule. I still think of what I have to do as soon as I sit with the Lord. I find this phenomenon makes me even more need of time with the Lord. The who I seek.
Loved it - thank you! Practical and wonderful information. I have a Holy Hour every Saturday mid morning and I didn’t realize... but one does have to build a bit of endurance. I’ve invited people and after 5 minutes, they really didn’t know what to do ☹️ I did express to them with overwhelming enthusiasm that the God that created the universe is truly present - right there!!!! Ah! 🥰 One of my favorite prayers is the Divine Praises and I LOVE-LOVE saying this prayer during Adoration. Lastly, breaks my heart a little when people are doing their HW or reading a non religious book during Adoration, using the chapel as a library. Christ in the flesh is present, he’s looking at us! Kinda hard to have a heart to heart conversation with God when your attention is somewhere else. Just a friendly, kinda observation. I tell my babies to keep their eyes on the Host 👀 I know one day I will see it bleed 🙏🏼 is it Saturday yet!? *Father, love how you sign off your videos 💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you!
Really needed this!
Every time you speak to my heart! This may sound crazy but it is like your message is just for me because your words really speak to just exactly what I need to hear! I fell off going to my Holy Hour a few weeks ago and haven't been able to get back to that routine and I know in my heart I should be going! Thank you for this! I wish I could meet you both in person! God Bless you both now and always!
The most great things being in adoration is when our Dear Lord Jesus shows me the trues behind my deepest questions about myself. He reveled to me that I am only my will, everything else in the existence belongs to him so I couldnt say that I have this or that because nothings belong to me, my actions will be my reward or my debts.
This is practical advise. I'm new at Adoration. This helps. Thanks to both of you
Good to have Mother Clare on again!! 🙏
Recently started journaling, thanks for the information! 🙏💜
Adoration
Contrition
Thanksgiving
Supplication
I needed this so desperately thus day. I wish I could reach through the screen and both and and thank you both. I felt the presence, I felt the love. I needed that.
I, too, could feel the love streaming out of this video within a few seconds of it starting. Praise God! So refreshing.
I just cant believe the infinite spring of love Jesus has for us. Everytime i commit the stupidest sin, he pours out his love so freely without fail
Father Mark-Mary and Mother Clare - a dynamic duo!! Thank you!!!!
Love, love, love this information, Especially in this Eucharistic revival season! Praying for you guys. You are awesome….❤
Please pray for my daughter Jenny's salvation and for her to receive Jesus again and always in Holy Communion. Mother Mary pray for us
2021 Resolution: More frequent Eucharistic adoration. Thank you both for this video. Holy hour was a fairly regular fixture in my early teens, but eventually I strayed from it.
I'm really hoping to resume it this year as churches have reopened and the pandemic has become a bit more "liveable" (at least where I am).
Our intimate relationship with GOD during prayer, makes us holy and truly blessed.
Thank you
I like these two religious people . I feel they are each focused on worship of Christ in a humble way. Thank you! Waiting to be baptized
Thank you. We are blest with perpetual Adoration at our church and this is very helpful.
Thank you for this. I struggle with spending meaningful time with Jesus in the adoration chapel. I wish I could speak out loud with the Lord. I like the idea of writing down my thoughts ahead of time.
At mass today I heard that Mother Theresa and her group would do holy hour everyday before they go out to do their work, I thought that was very powerful that I am willing to try.Thank you
Adoration is wonderful, everyone should go. I wish I could go every day.
Thank you for the tips. Sometimes my mind wanders, journaling is a great idea.
Amen. Thank you for what you do.
Beautiful message! Thanks!
Thank you very much for this video.
Thank you Fr Mark and Mother Claire
Lovely! Thank you, God bless
Thanks for this video. God blessings and 💘
Thank you so much. I needed to hear this all today. I am grateful.
Beautiful and helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this love you guys😍😍😍😍
Thanks for this lovely video
Great video! Thank you!
Great video, thank you.
🙏👏🏻🙏 thanks
Thank you for this!
That was very encouraging and lovely.... thanks to you both. God Bless.
- Not the what but the who (Recognize firstly you are in the presence of Jesus not just spiritually but physically)
- St. Francis we adore you prayer/Creed
- allow your body and therefore mind to become still
- focus thoughts and feelings toward the Lord
- mental activity is not necessarily prayer-> direct thoughts to Lord, don't just think to yourself
- Heart to heart relationship with Lord. Speak to him as you speak to a friend. He is our Father.
- Journaling may help especially when beginning relationship with Lord. Helps to focus. Not only just for beginning of spiritual
-ACTS in Catechism. Adoration, contrition, Thanksgiving, supplication
- Take time to listen- not a monologue but a dialogue. Believe the Lord knows you, cares for you and has something to say to guide and help, speak his loving words
Blessed sacrament is life changing. It transforms you.
St Francis prayer: We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, here, and in all your churches throughout the world, and we bless you, for by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. Amen
@@laurenelise98 Thank you for typing all this, especially the St. Francis prayer (I have to admit at first I was confused by you typing "St. Francis we adore you" in the original comment)
Really loved the video best combo 💗🙏🏼
Thank you again
Very helpful insight Fr. And Mother. God bless u both 🙂🙏
Thanks SO Much for your Holy Hour tips! They’re so helpful, and thanks for explaining what ACTS means! ➕
CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT SPEAKING IN TONGUES ??? Please
Non-Catholic... {along with what I been taught ...’perfect prayer’....praying in the spirit...speaking in tongues) prayers Ive chosen (I don’t know, but asking for grace)Pray the Chaplet of St Michael, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, Rosary, Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, ( and some Novenas) then I get ready for work
You are both so beautiful
Really great timing, i was omw to adoration to unite my faith with the 4 exorcist request and your video had some great ideas, especial the ACTS acronym. Thanks god bless.
Going today, my first time, very excited
Beautiful Pedro.....
Thank you for saying we should visit Him! I often think of the bible verse during the beginning of lent about hippocrates praying in synagogues. It's a nice clarification.
Somos peregrinos poco a poco vamos a llegar 🙌🏻
Very good work, Fr Mark-Mary and Mother Claire. It might help if you were to structure your suggestions. Lots of useful bits come out in the course of the video and if they were organized, they just might be driven home that bit more. With love in Christ!
A holy hour will not only strengthen you spirituality but will also strengthen the spiritual lives of your family and communitie, deceplin your life and make time for adoration because the world and every soul who walks this earth needs it
We need more Father Mike and Josh Vids !!!
60 yr old I never knew of a holy hour. I knew spend some time in front of the host. I can’t get to church because of the high risk. Thank you for explain..
My question and circumstance is similar to Gretchen's. Times and locations are sparse in my area.Often I am in the chapel with tabernacle...
❤❤❤❤❤
I love adoration! Thank you for explaining and inviting more people to grow closer to our Lord!
Please make more prayer videos with prayers that you can do with us, like in churches. Where I live, within hours and hours of travel, theres no church what so ever, no catholic church or christian church. I want to be baptised as a catholic next year when I move to a different country, where catholicsm is acceptable. I already pray alone to Jesus and God, but I dont know if Im praying correctly. I just pray what my heart wants to say.
I have questions
If someone were to get sent to hell, would they stay for eternity?
What would heaven be like, does it change depending on the person?
2:20 senses fail, my ears perked up when she said that
🥲The tantum ergo
What about making a resolution to strive harder to combat a vice or a sin?
...in the city where I live there are so many stores that sell only marijuana ....in the city where I live so many washroom doors have 'Trans People Welcome" signs ...in the city where I live the bus I take to the catholic church for the Sunday Latin High Mass stops in front of the abortion clinic
God help us
The bible warned us that the last days would be terrible (morally). Just remember God is sovereign and keep your eyes on Jesus. There is going to be a day without warning when (as divinely promised) Jesus Christ is coming back to “judge the living and the dead”. Those outside of Jesus’ (because they rejected God’s Son) will be eternally separated from God forever which will be unmeasurably terrible.
I have 2 questions.
What are your thoughts on “virtual “ adoration that are steamed live on you tube. Is it the same?
Also , where I live there is little choice and times for adoration, so I find myself praying in front of the tabernacle. Is this adoration?
Thank you for you help. God bless you both.
I'd love to hear their thoughts too! I turn to the online adoration broadcasts a lot... I love them! It's basically facetiming God! However, I try to treat them the same way i would a broadcast of the Mass, like on EWTN. It doesn't fulfill an obligation or promise unless there is not another means available. Like, i try not to say, "Nah, Lord, i wont get up this morning to go see you because I can just totally facetime you here in my PJ's." That's the temptation for my lazy soul at least! 🤣 On the other hand, being able to actually facetime Him when adoration isn't physically available (like in the middle of the night) is a HUGE help for recollection and entering into prayer like Father and Mother are teaching us here! Technology is amazing! With those broadcasts, we can finally get God on our phones! There was an old song that said "Long distance information, get me Jesus on the line!" That's possible now! 😆💖
Gretchen Burkey virtual adoration is a wonderful way to pray and meet Christ during a busy day. As Catholics we do believe that Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament so in that way there is no substitute for face to face time. It’s kinda like the difference between seeing the sun on tv and going out and basking in the sun’s rays.
@@jesseholthaus8357 That sun analogy is really beautiful!!! 💖
AnnaMaria Cardinalli I heard someone compare going to adoration once as like sitting outside in the sun. We walk away changed and “get a tan” as God sheds the light of his grace on us. Moses used to speak with God face to face and would leave those encounters with his face glowing to the point that people stood in awe of him and were afraid. The presence of God is very powerful! Now I want to go to adoration lol
My personal thoughts are that I would rather go on a date with my wife than have a Zoom call because I’m out of town. But if that’s all I can get, I’ll take it.
what are your thoughts on listening to ambient/soft piano music during holy hour to tune out any exterior sounds? I have keen sense of hearing and sometimes the vibration of cell phones from other parishes, or movements takes me out of focus. what is your suggestion?
Say hello and goodbye to Jesus when Adoration begins or ends to make the personal journey to intimate with the Divine Presence
Haba Na haba!
Is virtual Eucharistic adoration as good as and valid as the real thing??
Can you pray the rosary and chaplet and that be your holy hour?
thank you.
Am 67 years.
I am 2 strokes. I have Aphasia (google).
I no good write.
I pray no read.
Will please present Jesus. Heart to Jesus.
I to holy hour 2 todays.
Thank you two person.
Can we do holy hour through Live RUclips channels? Or is it better to just stick to going to the chapel?
I am having a hard time praying without wandering 🙁
My thoughts aways wander
I go through that periodically. Ask Him to deliver you from it. Also, practice fasting noise and screens for a few hours here and there. Its a consequence of too much stimulation.
Be patient to call yourself back to your awareness of our Lord. It happens sometimes, and yet do not get discouraged. Even if you have to do it a hundred times. Keep in mind you are in the presence of Our King.
I think Fr. Mike Schmitz has a video on this. Very good. From what I remember, he mentions how the Catechism teaches that prayer is a battle. So, wrangling the wandering mind is a normal part of prayer, though at times prayer will flow solidly and effortlessly like a river.
Praying the Bible is a good way to anchor your mind in your time with God. Take a Psalm or the Daily Mass and read a verse then talk to God about it. When you've spoken about that one enough (and kept an ear open to see if God has something more to say besides what is on the page), go on to the next verse and speak to Him about it.
Hope that helps some.
K V just what I needed to hear .
I use to think all nuns were old people lol
How do you know when God is talking to you and it's not your own mind?
If you dont know whether the lord is speaking to you or its yourself you haven't heard the lord. If the lord speaks to you directly trust me you will know.
Can eoov
I just left a church I loved because a group kept singing in Eucharist Adoration. I asked them to stop, I’m still praying, they asked when I was leaving, I said, really and they continued singing. I was confounded and left. I called the church to say that I’ve enjoyed mass, movies, sermons, but this is intolerable. Stop sending envelopes I’m not interested in their church, I emailed twice before with no response. I’m going somewhere else where they know what should be going on in Adoration. What a mess.
How can I hear myself pray and receive His message?
I like to start with "Thank you Jesus, for calling me here to be with you."
Then I like to say the prayer of the Angel at Fatima:
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee. Amen.
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.
What I do after that varies. Sometimes a rosary, sometimes read part of "My Imitation of Christ". Sometimes just be silent and listen.
Jesus Christ is the son of God the God of Israel YAWY
Jesus has left the cross defeated sin and death Jesus will never ever enter into the garden of agony again Jesus Christ the son sits at the right side of the father
Jesus doesn't need your prayers or help to save souls
What you do in spiritual realm by using this prayer is shifting the sins from one soul to another
This is a false revelation
I bind the forces of this prayers by the power of God the Father the son and the Holy spirit by the power in the name of Jesus the son of God YAHW and I hand over these powers to God the Father in the name of Jesus the son of YAWY amen
Bro WHY IS SHE SMILING SO MUCH??!! AH. Look at his face, you can tell how uncomfortable he is. It doesn't matter what your calling is. Men will always be uncomfortable towards each the opposite gender.
Thank you
