"Ah! If we had the eyes of angels with which to see Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is here present on this altar, and who is looking at us, how we should love Him! We should never more wish to part from Him. We should wish to remain always at His feet; it would be a foretaste of Heaven: all else would become insipid {tasteless} to us."
~St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney
PRAYER OF CONSECRATION TO THE EUCHARISTIC HEART OF JESUS
Most Sacred, Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, Eternal Victim, truly present in the tabernacles of the world, to You I consecrate my entire being, body and soul. I place in Your Heart, burning ember of Divine Love, my every burden and petition. Take me and use me according to Your need to bring about the Glorious Reign of Your Eucharistic Heart on earth. Amen.
"O Jesus, here present in the Holy Eucharist, Thy Heart is all aglow with love for me! Thou dost call me, Thou dost urge me to come to Thee." ~Saint Ildephons
O Sacred Heart of Jesus burning with love for us in the Blessed Sacrament increase our faith, hope, and charity!
ASK FOR THE GIFT OF ADORATION
From In Sinu Iesu, The Journal of a Priest
The practice of adoration is not difficult. It is a gentle abiding in My presence, a resting in the radiance of My Eucharistic Face, a closeness to My Eucharistic Heart. Words, though sometimes helpful, are not necessary, nor are thoughts.
What I seek from one who would adore Me in spirit and in truth is a heart aflame with love, a heart content to abide in My Presence, silent and still, engaged only in the act of loving Me and of receiving My Love.
Though this is not difficult, it is, all the same, My own gift
to the soul who asks for it. Ask, then, for the gift of adoration.
Adoration is an austere prayer because it rests upon faith alone. Out of faith there rises the pure flame of hope,
and out of the flame of hope, I enkindle in the soul a great conflagration (firestorm) of charity; that is, a communication to the soul of the fire that blazes in My Eucharistic Heart.
"A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament." ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
"Do you want our Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit Him seldom. Visits to the Blessed Sacrament are powerful and indispensable means of overcoming the attacks of the devil. Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and the devil will be powerless against you." ~St. John Bosco
Watch as Jesus reveals Himself during Adoration in the holy card above
"O Holy Angels, make me see God on the altar as you see Him in Heaven."
~Saint André Bessette
"In the presence of Jesus in the Holy Sacrament we ought to be like the Blessed in heaven before the Divine Essence." ~Saint Teresa of Avila
"Can you feel the fragrance of Paradise which diffuses Itself from the Tabernacle? " ~Saint Philip
A PRAYER TO JESUS ABANDONED
With Mary Immaculate, let us adore, thank, implore and console, the Most Beloved and Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
O Divine Jesus, lonely tonight in so many Tabernacles, without visitor or worshiper I offer Thee my poor heart. May its every throb be an act of love for Thee. Thou art always watching beneath the Sacramental Veils; in Thy Love Thou dost never sleep and Thou art never weary of Thy vigil for sinners. O lonely Jesus, may the flame of my heart burn and beam always in company with Thee.
O Sacrament most Holy, O Sacrament Divine!
All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine!
MAY THE HEART OF JESUS,
in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at every moment in all the Tabernacles of the world, even until the end of time. Amen.
