Prayer to the Most Blessed Sacrament

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.

(Prayer of St. Alphonsus de Liguori.)
