The true Hour, the true Visit...

"The Eucharist is God's greatest gift to us -
it is where Jesus' heart meets the needs of the world
on a daily basis." - Bl James Alberione

"The true hour of Eucharistic adoration,
the true visit, is like the soul which pervades all the
hours, occupations, thoughts, relations of our day. 
It is the lymph or vital current that influences everything
and communicates its spirit even to the most ordinary things.
 
It forms the spirituality
that is lived and communicated. 
It forms the spirit of prayer which, when cultivated,
transforms every work into prayer."
 
Bl James Alberione
 

Bl James was a priest and founder of the Pauline Family, who daily celebrated the Eucharist and spent four to five hours in Adoration.  The Eucharist was central to his day, sustaining an active apostolic life.  He developed a Pauline method of Eucharistic Adoration that is scripturally based and easy to use.  The hour is divided into three parts or "moments", based on Jesus as our Way, Truth and Life: Adoring Jesus' Truth, Following Jesus' Way, Sharing Jesus' Life.
This link expounds on the method.
