title: Could You Not Watch with Me One Hour?: How to Cultivate a Deeper Relationship with the Lord through Eucharistic Adoration
author: Fr. Florian Racine
description: "Eucharistic adoration is the most important devotion of our time, and Fr. Florian Racine offers us great insight and practical ideas in helping our adoration of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist bear much fruit! Give Jesus one hour and change your life! I encourage anyone who wants to grow more in love with prayer with Jesus to read this book!" --<b>Fr. Larry Richards</b>, Author, <i>Be a Man!</i><br /><br />"These reflections are profound, but gently pastoral; sweeping, yet accessible. This is guidance and advice that is practical, realistic, and inspiring that covers topics from simple humility to bold spiritual warfare, from spiritual dryness to moments of flooding grace. Centered on scripture and punctuated with insights from saints, popes, and the wisdom of the Church across the ages, they provide a powerful exposition of him who is exposed before us in adoration." --<b>Daniel P. Guernsey</b>, Editor, <i>Adoration: Eucharistic Texts and Prayers throughout Church History</i><br /><br />"Fr. Florian imparts to us a mine of Eucharistic truths, a volume saturated with the wisdom of the saints, which guide, prompt and compel us to re-discover the 'Prisoner of Love' who awaits us in the tabernaclein the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Like John the Baptist, Fr. Florian directs our hearts toward the hidden and often unrecognized Messiah, who waits for each of us to discover his true presence." --<b>Devin Schadt</b>, Author, <i>Joseph's Way: Prayer of Faith</i><br /><br />"These reflections are profound, but gently pastoral; sweeping, yet accessible.
