My Lord Jesus Christ,
I believe that You are really here in this Sacrament.
Night and day You remain here compassionate and loving.
You call, You wait for,
You welcome everyone who comes to visit you.
I thank you, Jesus, my Divine Redeemer
for coming upon the earth for our sake
and for instituting the Adorable Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist
in order to remain with us until the end of the world.
I thank You for hiding beneath the Eucharistic species
Your infinite majesty and beauty,
which Your Angels delight to behold,
so that I might have courage to approach
the throne of Your mercy.
I thank You dear Jesus, for having become the priceless Victim,
to merit for me the fullness of heavenly favors.
Awaken in me such confidence in You
that their fullness may descend
ever more fruitfully upon my soul.
I thank You for offering Yourself in thanksgiving to God
for all His benefits, spiritual and temporal
which He has bestowed on me.
Grant me grace and perseverance in Your faithful service.
Amen.

Prayer For The Sick

O Jesus, You suffered and died for us.
You understand suffering.
Teach me to understand my suffering as You do.
To bear it in union with You
To offer it with You to atone for my sins
and to bring Your grace to souls in need.
Calm my fears and increase my trust.
May I gladly accept Your holy will
and become more like You in trial.
If it be Your will, restore me to health,
so that I may work for Your honor and glory
and the salvation of all men.
O Divine Physician and Healer of the sick
we turn to You in this time of illness.
Dearest Comforter of the troubled
alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love
and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands.
We place our sick under Your care
and humbly ask that You restore Your servant to health again.
Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will
and to know that whatsoever You do
You do for the love of us.
Amen.

Tantum Ergo

Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui,
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui;
Praestet fides supplementum,
Sensuum defectui.

Genitori Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.

Amen.

V. Panem de caelo praestitisti eis.
(T.P. Alleluia).

R. Omne delectamentum in se habentem.
(T.P. Alelluia).

Afterward the minister rises and sings or says:

Oremus.
Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento
mirabili, passionis tuae memoriam
reliquisti: tribue, quaesumus, ita nos
Corporis et Sanguinis tui sacra
mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis
tuae fructum in nobis iugiter
sentiamus: ui vivis et regnas in
saecula saeculorum.

R. Amen.

Down in adoration falling,
This great Sacrament we hail,
Over ancient forms of worship
Newer rites of grace prevail
Faith will tell us Christ is present,
When our human senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son who made us free,
And the Spirit, God proceeding
From Them Each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty.

Amen.

V. You have given them Bread from heaven.
(P.T. Alleluia).

R. Having all sweetness within it.
(P.T. Alleluia).

Afterward the minister rises and sings or says:

Let us pray.
Lord Jesus Christ, You gave us the
Eucharist as the memorial of Your
suffering and death. May our worship
of this sacrament of Your Body and
Blood help us to experience the
salvation You won for us and the
peace of the kingdom where You live
with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
