The Jesus Youth Movement marks the journey to Pentecost as a time of renewal and recommitment. In Australia, this season is uniquely lived through Hours of Grace—now celebrating 16 years.This initiative is a 100-day chain of continuous Eucharistic adoration, beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding at Pentecost. What started as a simple invitation has grown into a nationwide movement, with individuals, families, and communities offering their time before the Blessed Sacrament.
Across Australia, at every hour of these 100 days, someone is in prayer—forming an unbroken chain of intercession. From parishes to campuses and homes, Hours of Grace has become a quiet yet powerful witness of faith.As it marks 16 years, the call remains simple: to pause, to be present, and to place Christ at the centre—one hour at a time.
