Prayer While Visiting The
Most Blessed Sacrament
by St. Alphonsus
Liguori
My Lord Jesus Christ,
for the love which You bear to men, You 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 which You have bestowed
upon me and in particular for having given me Yourself in this
Sacrament, for having given me your holy Mother Mary for my advocate, and
for having called me to visit You in this chapel. I now salute
Your most loving Heart: and this for three ends: 1. In thanksgiving for this great gift; 2. To make amends to You for all the outrages which You 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 the least revered and the most abandoned.
My Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I grieve for having so many
times offended Your infinite goodness. I promise with Your grace never
more to offend You in the future.
Now, miserable and unworthy though I be, I consecrate myself to You
without reserve;
I give You my entire will, my affections, my desires, and all that I
possess. From now on dispose of me and of all that I have as You please.
All that 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 Blessed Virgin Mary. I also
recommend to You all poor sinners.
My dear Saviour, I unite all my affections with the affections of Your
most loving Heart; and I offer them, thus united, to Your eternal
Father, and beseech Him in Your name to vouchsafe, for Your love, to
accept them.
Amen.
