Upcoming Holy Hours

Jesus began the devotion of the Holy Hour of Reparation when He entered the Garden of Gethsemane on Mount Olivet. He said to His Apostles: "My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay ye here and watch with Me." Later He said to them: "Could ye not watch one hour with Me? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation." [Matt. 26:38, 40, 41]

Beginning Monday November 25 we will have two Holy Hours offered during Monday adoration at Holy Martyrs:

• 12:00 pm Holy Hour for Priests where we will pray for our priests with special prayers including a Litany and Rosary for priests.
• 3:00 pm  Holy Hour for the Sick and Dying where we will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the Sick and Dying and a Litany of Reparation.

All are invited to join us. The Holy Hours will be held weekly on Monday unless adoration is cancelled due to a holiday. Contact Elizabeth at 847-6890 for more information.

As Jesus spoke to His Apostles, so He pleads with us to stay and watch and pray with Him. His Sacred Heart is filled with sadness, because so many doubt Him, despise Him, insult Him, ridicule Him, spit upon Him, slap Him, accuse Him, condemn Him. In the Sacrament of His Love, so many forget Him. Every mortal sin brings down the terrible scourges on His Sacred Body, presses the sharp thorns into His Sacred Head, and hammers the cruel nails into His Sacred Hands and Feet.
