The
custom of spending an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament arose
from the desire of devout souls to give an affirmative answer to the
sorrowful question of the Savior in Gethsemane, "Could ye not watch
with me one hour?"
No
special form of prayer has ever been prescribed for this exercise, and
the time is spent in quiet conversation with Jesus, saying the litanies,
hymns, readings, and other acts of devotion.
