You can get the book Blessed be God. It has a terrific section for an hour before the blessed sacrament. It is in sections with psalms and prayers. http://pcpbooks.net/product.php?id_product=55722If you don't want that you can always get a book on the revalations of Catherine Emmerich Dolours Passion of Our Lord http://www.baroniuspress.com/book.php?wid=56&bid=14or the Divine Life of the Blessed Virgin by Mary of Agreda. A lot of what is those two books makes you want to just sit there and meditate which is perfect when you're in front of Our Sweet Lord If you get to go to the TLM often why not mediate on the Mass with this http://www.baroniuspress.com/book.php?wid=56&bid=16Ha.  The best thing is to remember to double genuflect before and after you leave Christ's presense and make sure to give Our Lord a little bit of silence |

I browsed through my books at home and found a couple that I forgot about, I guess I buy too many books I'm sure I'm the only one with that problem  . But I found The Catholic Controvery by St Francis de Sales A Retreat for the Laity by Knox These should keep me going for a while. |

Wow an hour for 3 decades! You must really pray contemplatively. I do 5 decades in 15 minutes, but I fear that if I slowed down I wouldn't be able to get it done at all (I pray with my wife before bed, and we need to do it while we're both awake and while the baby is sleeping). |

Do you pray the aves and paters quickly? I always hear how folks can pray the rosary in 15 minutes but Im always in the thirty minute mark or twenty five. I think he meant three rosaries joyful, sorrowful, glorious |

I am careful to enunciate each syllable and not mumble, but I also don't delay for any reason. |
