Prayer For Adoration Of The Blessed Sacrament
* I, (name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today
in Thy hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my baptism; I
renounce Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself
entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my
cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more
faithful to Him than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the Heavenly court I choose thee
this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and
consecrate to thee, as Thy slave, my body and soul, my goods,
both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my
good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the
entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs
to me, without exception, according to Thy good pleasure,
for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen.
My God, we adore You here in the Blessed Sacrament.
As we kneel before You, we recognize You as the Creator of all
Life. We thank You and praise You for the lives you have given to
us and to those we love. Give us a true and lasting respect for all
life, for we recognize it as coming from You. We pray for all who
have suffered or died as a result of disrespect whether that
suffering and death has come as a result of abuse, war, gossip,
or abortion. We pray for an end for all disrespect of life. As we
kneel before You we ask You to forgive all those who do not respect
the sanctity of life. We repeat the words you spoke as you hung
on the cross, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
(here kiss your Brown scapular) and in union
with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being offered
throughout the world, I offer You all my prayers,
works, joys and sufferings of this day in
reparation for the offenses committed against
the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for my sins and
the sins of the whole world.
"Most Holy Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- I adore
Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious body, blood, soul
and divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the
world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences
whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most
Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart Of Mary, I beg of Thee the
conversion of poor sinners."
My Lord Jesus Christ, who, through the love which you bear toward men, does remain with them day and night in this sacrament, full of mercy and love, awaiting, inviting and receiving all who come to visit you, I believe that you are present in the Sacrament of the Altar. From the abyss of my nothingness, I adore you. I thank you for all the graces which you have bestowed upon me, particularly for having given me yourself in this sacrament, for having given my your most holy Mother Mary for my advocate, and for having called me to visit you in this church. I pay my homage to your most loving heart for these three ends:
1) in thanksgiving for this great gift;
2) to make amends to you for all the outrages which you do receive in this sacrament from all your enemies;
3) I intend by this visit to adore you in all the places on earth in which you are present in this sacrament and in which you are the least honored and the most abandoned.
My Jesus, I love you with my whole heart. I am sorry for having offended your infinite goodness so many times. I purpose, with the help of your grace, never more to offend you; and, at this moment, miserable as I am, I consecrate my whole being to you. I give you my entire will, all my affections and desires and all that I have. From this day forward, do what you will with me and with everything that belongs to me. I ask and desire only your holy love, the gift of final perseverance and the perfect fulfillment of your will. I commend to you the souls in purgatory, particularly those who were most devoted to the Most Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary; and I also commend to you all poor sinners. Finally, my dear savior, I unite all my affections with the affections of your most loving Heart; and thus united, I offer them to your Eternal Father, and I entreat him, in your name and for your sake, to accept and answer them. Amen.

Jesus said to the crowds:
"I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in me will never thirst.
But I told you that although you have seen me,
you do not believe.
Everything that the Father gives me will come to me,
and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,
because I came down from heaven not to do my own will
but the will of the one who sent me.
And this is the will of the one who sent me,
that I should not lose anything of what he gave me,
but that I should raise it on the last day.
For this is the will of my Father,
that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him
may have eternal life,
and I shall raise him on the last day."
The Gospel of the Lord.
My Lord Jesus Christ,
who for the love you bear us,
remain night and day in this Sacrament,
full of compassion and of love,
awaiting, calling and welcoming
all who come to visit you.
I believe that you are present
in the Sacrament of the Altar.
I adore you from the abyss of my nothingness
and I thank you for all the graces
you have given me until now,
and in particular,
for having given me your Most Holy Mother Mary
as my advocate
and for having called me
to visit you in this church.
I now salute your Most Loving Heart,
and this for three ends:
first, in thanksgiving for this great gift;
second, to make amends to you for all the outrages
which you receive in this Sacrament
from all your enemies;
third, I intend by this visit to adore you
in all the places on earth
in which you are present in this Sacrament
and in which you are the least revered
and the most abandoned.
My Jesus, I love you with my heart.
I grieve for having until now so many times
offended your infinite goodness.
I purpose by your grace never more to offend you
for the time to come;
and now, miserable and unworthy though I am,
I consecrate myself to you without reserve.
I give you and renounce my entire will,
my affections, my desires, and all that I possess.
From now on, use me
and all that I have as you wish.
All I ask of you and desire is your holy love,
final perseverance
and the perfect accomplishment of your will.
I recommend to you the souls in Purgatory;
but especially those who had the greatest devotion
to the Most Blessed Sacrament
and to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.
I also recommend to you all poor sinners.
And finally, my dear Saviour,
I unite all my affections with the affections
of your most loving Heart,
and I offer them with you to your Eternal Father
and beg him for your sake
and for love of you,
graciously to accept and grant them.
Amen.
