ADORATION OF CHRIST IN THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT
L: Holy, Holy, Holy Jesus in the most Blessed Sacrament
A: Yes, holy and all holy are you, / Jesus. You are silently present / in a simple piece of bread. You
are in front of me. Grant that I may understand / with the Heart that you are alive here / for me
and because of me! Fill me with living faith / that you are here / and that I am before you! O
grant me grace / that I may adore You this day / with all my being: / soul, spirit and body!
O, all you, saints and angels / be here now! Adore the living Lord Jesus with me! Mary, Mother
of my Saviour / and Mother of us all / be with us too. You called me to adore / and assured me
that / I would not be alone at this moment / before your living Son.
Like St. Thomas / I would like to say this day / My Lord and my God! I am not asking you, Lord
Jesus / to hold out your hands / with wounds for me. I believe that you are alive here / and really
present / with the fullness of your life and love. I remain in silence before you… (5 minutes – sit
and keep silent. Listen, the Lord will speak to you.)
L: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be (Silently mention your intentions)
Stand, then sing this or some other song in honor of the Holy Eucharist or Sacred Heart.
O Sacrament most holy O Sacrament divine all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment
thine. Please repeat Ref.
O Sacrament, we Thee adore O make us love Thee more and more. (repeat)
O heart of Jesus, O Sacred Heart Divine. All love and reparation, Be every moment Thine.
(Repeat Ref.)
L: Act of Consecration and Offering
A: Most Sacred Heart of Jesus / truly present in the Holy Eucharist/ I consecrate my body and soul /
to be entirely one with Your heart / being sacrificed at every instant on all the altars of the
world / and giving praise to the Father / pleading for the coming of His Kingdom. Please receive
/ this humble offering of myself. Use me as You will / for the glory of the Father / and salvation
of souls. O sweet Jesus / let me lay at your sacred feet / my daily share of joys / struggles and
sorrows / my hopes and fears / and in the stillness of your sanctuary / do tenderly gather them /
into your Sacred Heart. Solace my doubts / calm my fears / and grant that day by day / I may
become more united to You. O Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament / overflowing with
gentleness / tenderness and charity / bury in the Abyss of your mercy / all my iniquities / and all
my negligence. I offer you my labors and sufferings / my sorrows and miseries / I recommend to
you / my life and death.
L: Act of Trust: My Lord and my God. I believe all that thou has ever taught. What is most difficult
for me to believe that Thy personal love for one so sinful and worthless as I am, but I do believe
it, Lord and therefore: * (Response) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I Trust in Thee.
L: I believe that thy love for me is from all eternity: Thou hast loved me with an everlasting love,
and therefore (R); L: I will always pray Thy holy will be done in all things because (R); L: I
will accept the crosses of life as I accept its joys with a grateful heart because (R); L: I will
never lose heart in my efforts to be good because (R); L: However weak or sinful I may be, I
will never doubt Thy mercy because (R); L: In all my temptations (R); L: In all my weaknesses
(R); L: In all my sorrows (R) ; L: In every discouragement (R)
L: My God I believe in Thee because Thou art Truth itself; I hope in Thee because Thou art
infinitely good. I love Thee because Thou art supremely amiable and I love my neighbor as
myself for love of Thee.
A: O Heart of love / I place my Trust in Thee / for though I fear all things from my weakness / I
hope all things from Thy mercies. / Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer / I trust in Thee / in thy
Sacred Heart / in everything for everything / in spite of everything. AMEN.
Let us pray: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.”
O Eternal Father / we praise Thee for thy inestimable mercy. Since we ourselves / are unable to
thank Thee / worthily / we wish to do so / through the Heart of Jesus. He who has been our
Redemption / now desires to be our thanksgiving.
A: Be thou blessed, praised, and adored / through all eternity / for Thou has brought redemption to
all men. We give Thee thanks / O Jesus through the eloquent tears / and the sorrow that Mother
Mary / endured for us at the foot of the Cross. We promise to flee from all sin / to combat our
evil inclinations / and to despise the world / and its empty pleasures. We repeat for thy faithful
servant, St. Margaret Mary/ “Divine love has won my heart. It alone shall reign there.” AMEN.
L: Prayer to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament
A: O Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament / glory of the Christian people / joy of the
universal Church / salvation of the world / pray for us, your children / who are assembled here
this very day / and awaken in all the faithful / devotion to the Holy Eucharist / in order that may
render themselves / worthy to receive it daily. Mother Mary, thank you for this motherly call /
Mother of my Saviour and Mother of Peace / I surrender my life to you with love. / Jesus, dying
on the Cross / gave you, also ever to me / so I give myself over to you now. / I want to love
Jesus / as you did Mother. / I want to learn with you / ow to listen to Father’s word / and do His
will / I want to be the bearer / of the Holy Spirit with You. / Let my heart obedient / to His
inspiration as was Yours. / Immaculate Heart of Mary / Most Holy Mother of God / never let me
be separated / from your Divine Son Jesus. / Please defend and protect me / as your special
child. AMEN. (Stand – sing any song for Mother Mary)
L: Act of Reparation – Please see the separate sheet.
A: O most Sacred Heart of Jesus / to thee I give my faith / my love with all my heart / my body
with all the feelings / of my inmost soul / because you are my saviour / Lord and my God / who
art all good / and deserving of all my love / I am sorry O most loving Jesus / so very sorry for
having offended Thee / for you are my true God. I firmly resolve / that I will sin no more / that I
would rather die / than sin again. I beseech Thee / because of your great love / and infinite
mercy / to forgive me all my sins / and grant me the grace / to be united with Thee / and to love
Thee with all my heart. O most sweet Jesus / we adore you of those who outraged you / we pray
to you for those who do not pray to you / we bless you for those who curse you / with all the
power of our souls / with all the adorers of the world / before all the tabernacles on earth / we
praise, bless, love, glorify / honor, trust and thank you.
L: Prayer for the Dying
