Beloved Jesus, most present in the Blessed Sacrament, before you I come, aware of my littleness, kneeling before your Greatness. O sweet Jesus, with you I desire to be; in your heart I long to rest. Grant me the graces to praise you, and adore you, and love you. May I love you with all my heart, with all my mind and all my strength. For you are Kindness and Love and Everpresent. What can I give you if all is yours? Accept my life as an offering pleasing to you. I place before you all my days, all of my actions, thoughts, memories and desires. O my sweet, most merciful Jesus, only in you is found my comfort; only in you is found my peace. Grant I may always seek you, and in seeking you know you, and in knowing you love you. Amen.

O Sacred Banquet, in which Christ is received, the memory of his passion is recalled; the soul is filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given us.
V: You have given them bread from heaven.
R: Containing all manner of sweetness.
Let us pray. O God, who has left us in this wonderful sacrament a perpetual memorial of your passion, grant us, we beseech you, so to reverence the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may ever find in our souls the fruit of your redemption, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine. Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, Furnace of Divine Love grant peace to the world. We adore you most holy Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all your churches throughout the world, and we bless you, because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world. Amen.

May this time of Eucharistic Adoration be the meeting of our soul and of all our being with Jesus. May it be the creature meeting its Creator; the disciple before the Divine Master; the patient with the Doctor of souls; the poor appealing to the Rich One; the thirsty drinking at the Font; the weak presenting themselves to the Almighty; the tempted seeking a sure Refuge; the blind searching for the Light; the friend who goes to the true Friend; the lost sheep sought by the Divine Shepherd; the heart led astray who finds the Way; the foolish who finds Wisdom; the bride who finds the Spouse of the soul; the nothing who finds the All; the afflicted who finds the Consoler; the youth who finds life’s meaning. Amen.

Jesus, Divine Master, we adore you as the only begotten Son of God, come on the earth to give life, the most abundant life to humanity. We thank you because by dying on the cross, you merited life for us, which you give us in Baptism and nourish in the Eucharist and in the other sacraments. Live in us, O Jesus, with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, so that we may love you with our whole mind, strength and heart, and love our neighbor as ourselves for love of you. Increase charity in us, so that one day, called from the sepulcher to the glorious life, we may be united with you in the eternal happiness of heaven. Amen.

May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored and loved at every moment in all the tabernacles of the world even until the end of time. Amen.

O Eternal Word, having become man, you were not content simply to die for us. You have also given us this Sacrament as company, as food, and as a pledge of paradise. You make yourself appear among us, first as a child in a stable, then as a poor man in a workshop, then as a criminal on a cross and now as bread on an altar. Tell me, could you invent more ways of gaining our love? … Lord, I do not wish to live if not to love you alone. … My beloved Redeemer, you have spent all your life for me. And what have I to love, if not you who are all beautiful, all kind, all good, all loving, all gracious. My soul lives only to love you. … Just to hear the words “crib,” “cross,” “sacrament,” lights up my spirit with a desire to do great things for you.

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have you present so that I do not forget you. You know how easily I abandon you. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for you are my life, and without you, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for you are my light, and without you, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me your will. Stay with me, Lord so that I hear your voice and follow you. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love you very much, and always be in your company. Stay with me, Lord, if you wish me to be faithful to you.

Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for you, a nest of love. Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way, and for that, I need you. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O, how I need you, my Jesus, in this night of exile! Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers. I need you. Let me recognize you as your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.

Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to you, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.

Stay with me, Jesus. I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it, but the gift of your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of you!

Stay with me, Lord, for it is you alone I look for—your Love, your Grace, your Will, your Heart, your Spirit— because I love you and ask no other reward but to love you more and more.

With a firm love, I will love you with all my heart while on earth and continue to love you perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

1. I gaze lovingly at my God Who gazes lovingly at me. (in silence and wonder)
2. I gaze. I adore. I listen.
3. Soul of Christ be my sanctification, Body of Christ be my salvation. Blood of Christ fill all my veins, Water from Christ’s side, wash out my stains. Passion of Christ my comfort be. O good Jesus listen to me! In your wounds I feign would hide, Never to be parted from your side. Guard me should my foe assail me, Call me when my life shall fail me. Bid me come to thee above, With the saints to sing your love.
4. Suscipe: Receive me, O God, as you have promised and I shall live And disappoint me not in my hope. (from Psalm 119)
