Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle
in them the fire of Your divine Love. Send forth Your Spirit and
they shall be created and You shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit has taught
the hearts of the faithful, grant, that by the assistance of the
same Holy Spirit, we may ever walk in the path of righteousness
and ever rejoice in His consolation, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Blessed Mother, our Lady of the most Blessed Sacrament, be with
me a this time which I am spending in the presence of your divine
Son. I ask you to be my companion and to help me. Reveal your divine
Son to me, O Mary. Make me love Him as you did and inspire me to
live for Him. Amen.
Most loving Jesus, I adore You with a lively faith. You are present
in this Sacrament by virtue of Your infinite power, wisdom, and
goodness. Although conscious of my unworthiness, I place all my
hope in You. I love You, O Lord, with all my heart and I desire
to receive You now spiritually. Come therefore, O Lord, to me in
spirit. Feed me, for I am hungry; strengthen me, for I am weak;
enliven and sanctify me with Your sacred Body and Blood. Deliver
me from all sin and make me always obedient to Your commands. Let
me never be separated from You, my Savior, who with the Father and
the Holy Spirit live and reign one God forever and ever. Amen.
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 You 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 Savior,
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.
St. Alphonsus Liguori
Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood
my soul with Your Spirit and Life. Penetrate and possess my whole
being so utterly that my life may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine
through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with
may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer
me but only Jesus! Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine
as You shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. The light,
O Jesus, will be all from You; none of it will be mine. It will
be You, shining on others through me. Let me thus praise You in
the way which You love best, by shining on those around me. Let
me preach You without preaching, not by my words but by my example,
by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the
evident fullness of the love my heart bears for You. Amen.
O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge,
understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation
wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength
to follow God's holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen
their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer
their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor
in God's holy service. Amen.
