CCC 2747
Christian Prayer›SECTION ONE PRAYER IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE›CHAPTER THREE THE LIFE OF PRAYER›Article 3 THE PRAYER OF THE HOUR OF JESUS
Christian Tradition rightly calls this prayer the "priestly" prayer of Jesus. It is the prayer of our high priest, inseparable from his sacrifice, from his passing over (Passover) to the Father to whom he is wholly "consecrated."
