Q. What is the 40 Hours Devotion?
It is 40 Hours of uninterrupted adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This devotion originated in Milan in the 1500s and is associated with many graces and miracles. Rooted in deep Eucharistic reverence, this devotion provides a powerful opportunity for spiritual renewal, prayer, and evangelization.
Q. Why is it 40 hours long?
The number 40 is very important Biblically: Christ spent 40 hours in the tomb before rising on Easter Morning; the Israelites wandered for 40 years in the desert; in the time of Noah, it rained for 40 days and nights; Moses fasted for 40 days before he received the law on Mt. Sinai; and, there are 40 days between Jesus’ Resurrection and his Ascension.
Q. Why are we doing this?
The 40 Hours devotion has long been associated with deep spiritual renewal, conversion, and even miracles. This extended period of Eucharistic Adoration fosters intense prayer, repentance, and intercession, creating an environment where God’s grace can work powerfully in individuals and communities.
We will be concluding the time of the 40 Hours Devotion in the Diocese on June 21st with a Mass at Jackson Field with Bishop Boyea, and we will process the Blessed Sacrament to the Cathedral.
Q. What should I pray for while in Adoration?
During this time, feel free to pray any way that you feel comfortable. You could pray the Rosary, read the Bible, pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, meditate quietly, or read a spiritual book. We do encourage you to specifically pray for people who you know who have fallen away from the faith. This pamphlet also includes the Jubilee prayer that all parishioners are encouraged to pray during this Jubilee year.
Please also pray for the diocesan Mass on June 21st , and for the procession that day. Consider who you might invite to attend with you.
