[26/Oct/2004:21:12:05] <Father Phillip> well, a Holy
Hour is pretty much what it sounds like:
[26/Oct/2004:21:12:25] <Father Phillip> a 60 minute period
during which a person tries to open him/herself to God
[26/Oct/2004:21:12:38] <Father Phillip> very often that
hour is spent before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer
[26/Oct/2004:21:12:43] <Father Phillip> reading Scripture
[26/Oct/2004:21:12:47] <Father Phillip> saying the Rosary
[26/Oct/2004:21:12:54] <Father Phillip> reflecting on
devotional books
[26/Oct/2004:21:12:58] <Father Phillip> being silent
[26/Oct/2004:21:13:02] <Father Phillip> meditating
[26/Oct/2004:21:13:21] <Father Phillip> doing whatever
can help the person become more open to God
[26/Oct/2004:21:13:54] <Father Phillip> vmw2004: oh,
i was reading it in a book and the author made it sound like it was one particular
hour in the day
[26/Oct/2004:21:14:06] <Father Phillip> often it's done
first thing or early-ish in the morning
[26/Oct/2004:21:14:11] <Father Phillip> vmw2004: thanks
