Act of Adoration and Reparation
to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Profoundly I adore you, Jesus; hid beneath this mystic veil, I acknowledge you as true God and true man. Accept this act of adoration, by which I would make reparation for the indifference of so many who pass before your holy temples and tabernacles where hour after hour you dwell with loving impatience for those who never enter to adore you; but who, like the Israelites in the wilderness seem, by their indifference, to loathe the Bread of Heaven.
I offer you your own most Precious Blood shed on the Cross, in reparation for this coldness and indifference; and sharing in spirit in your agony and death, I cry out in never-ending praise: O Sacrament most Holy O Sacrament most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving, be every moment thine! The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven; hallowed by thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Glory Be Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Then repeat these four prayers after each meditation. Profoundly I adore you, Jesus, and I acknowledge you as truly present in this Most Holy Sacrament. By this act of adoration, I would make amends for your people, so many of whom act as if they do not know you. When they see you being carried in procession, or enthroned on the altar, they give you no outward signs of adoration and homage. When they see you in the marginalised and poor, they do not come to your help. I offer you, your own most Precious Blood shed on the Cross, in reparation for this coldness and indifference; and sharing in spirit in your agony and death, I cry out in never-ending praise: O Sacrament most Holy… Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be... Profoundly I adore you, Jesus, true Bread of Life eternal, and by this act of adoration I would do compensation for all the wounds which cause your Sacred Heart such pain each day: the denial of your real presence in the Blessed Sacrament, sporadic attendance to Mass, failings in loving you as you deserve, and failings in loving others as you command. I offer you, your own most Precious Blood shed on the Cross, in reparation for this coldness and indifference; and sharing in spirit in your agony and death, I cry out in never-ending praise: O Sacrament most Holy… Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be... Profoundly I adore you, Jesus, true victim on the Cross for our sins. I offer you this act of adoration in compensation for the times we received you unworthily in Holy Communion with hearts not ready and unwelcoming to your love. I offer you, your own most Precious Blood shed on the Cross, in reparation for this coldness and indifference; and sharing in spirit in your agony and death, I cry out in never-ending praise: O Sacrament most Holy… Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be... O most sacred, most loving heart of Jesus, You are concealed in the Holy Eucharist, and you beat for us. O make our hearts beat with your heart. Purify them of all that is earthly, all that is proud, all that is hard and cruel, of all stubbornness, of all disorder, of all deadness. So fill our hearts with your presence, so that nothing around us may have power to disturb them, but that in your love and fear our hearts may have peace. Amen. |
