Forty Hours Devotion is a special forty-hour period of continuous prayer made before the Blessed Sacrament in Solemn exposition. The Forty Hours Devotion remembers that traditional "forty-four period" from Our Lord's burial until the resurrection.

The Devotion begins with a Solemn Mass of Exposition, which concludes with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and a procession. The Blessed Sacrament remains on the altar in a monstrance. During the next 40 hours, the faithful gather for personal or public prayer in adoration of Our Lord.

In a world where temptation and evil abound, where devotion to the Mass and Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist have declined, where the practice of penance and Confession have been forgotten, we need the Forty Hours Devotion more than ever.
