The Hours of Prayer Before the Hour of Suffering

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,

“Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, (John 17:1 ESV) 

Jesus taught us to pray, "Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." (Matt 6:9b-10 NIV 1984)

Jesus exemplifies this teaching through His own prayer. "The hour" is the time of His passion.
