Reader: From the Gospel of J ohn. (14: 1-7)

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my
Father’s house are may rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I
am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that also may be
-3-
where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how
can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way the truth and the life. No one come to the
Father except through me, If you really knew me, you would know my
Father as well. From now on, you do know him and seen Him.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

(kneel)
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, you truly are the Way, which leads us to the Father. You are
the Truth, where we find all knowledge and wisdom we need to face
everyday’s struggles. You are the Life, for without you we are nothing.
We praise you this night and thank you for the gift of your Eucharist
Presence.
You never leave us alone. You shared with us this sacred meal for us to
partake, and share with others, for our salvation. Transform us to Your
image, and help us to love continually according to Your law. May we
continuously show our love for the Holy Eucharist, which is our way,
truth and life in our daily struggle until we come to see you in eternal
glory. Amen.
We shall spend this time for our personal prayer.

LET US PRAY:
Leader: Holy Spirit, you who revel Jesus to us, help us to discover him in
the Gospels;
and souls;
existence;
-6-
souls.
and ever.
All: AMEN
Reader: From the Gospel of J ohn. 15:1-8

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every
branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit
he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean
because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will
-7-
remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the
vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.”
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him,
he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone
does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and
withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If
you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish,
and it will be given you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much
fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
All: Praise to you , Lord Jesus Christ!
Reflection...
(kneel)
PRAYER:
We are truly connected to you, Lord Jesus. Like the vine and its branches,
we continually receive the grace and life from you alone. We especially
remember this in the Holy Eucharist. Your body is the food which
nourishes our spirit and make us live more according to you will.
We pray, Jesus! Continue to nourish us in body and spirit through the
Bread of Life which you provide us in every Mass we attend. Enliven in us
the sacredness of this Sacrament that we may continuously live as what
you will. Amen.

THIRD CHURCH
(Kneel)
All: Amen
LET US PRAY:
the Gospels;
and souls;
existence;
- 10 -
souls.
and ever.
All: AMEN.
Reader: From the Gospel of J ohn 15:9-17

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have
obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you
this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My
- 11 -
command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has
one that this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends
if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a
servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you
friends, for everything that I learned from my Father. I have made known
to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go
and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever
you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other.”
Reflection...
(kneel)
PRAYER:
You loved us, Lord Jesus. You loved us until your death. You loved us as
friends. You loved us with an ultimate love. This is far greater than
anything er can feel or imagine! You commanded us to extend the same
love to others, without anything in reserve. Your love remains with us in
the Eucharist, this love we receive in every Communion when we eat your
precious Body and drink your sacred Blood. This is the great manifesto
of your love for us.
Teach us to show greater love for you in the Holy Sacrifice. Make us
receive you in a greater disposition, prepared and in the state of grace.
Every time we sin against you, help us to be sorry first for our iniquities
before we accept you in Communion. Make every moment a loving one

- 12 -
with your divine presence in us. And when the priest tell us, Ite, Missa
Est, guide us as we become a living Eucharist of love to our brothers and
sisters, even to the point of offering our lives for you and for them.
Amen.

HAIL MARY...

FOURTH CHURCH
(Kneel)
All: Amen
LET US PRAY:
the Gospels;
and souls;
existence;
- 14 -
souls.
and ever.
All: AMEN.

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you
belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not
belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why
the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is
- 15 -
greater that his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you
also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will
treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One
who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be
guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who
hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not dine among them what no
one else did, they would not guilty of in. But now they have seen these
miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to
fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’
“When the Counselor comes,whom I will send to you from the Father, the
Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me
from the beginning.
Reflection...
(kneel)
PRAYER:
Throughout the years, Lord Jesus, a lot of people showed their hatred
towards your Eucharistic presence. Sacrileges done inside and outside
the Church offended you so much. May were led astray due to their false
interpretations of the Sacrament which you alone provide. This gave
much offense to your Eucharistic Presence, dear Lord.
Accept our sincere act of repentance for these and others wrongdoings
of the world, Lord Jesus. We promise to express our deep concern and
- 16 -
love for this memorial of your saving work for us. This might lead us to
become enemies of the world, but we know you’ll never leave us and that
you’ll provide the Consoling Spirit that will make us energized and
prepared to defend your precious Body in words and actions. Guide us, O
Lord. We depend on your providence. Amen.

(Kneel)
All: Amen

the Gospels;

existence;

souls.
and ever.
All: AMEN.

Jesus lifted his eyes toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has
come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted
him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those
you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the
- 19 -
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you
glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now,
Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before
the world began.”
Reflection...
(kneel)
PRAYER:
Jesus, we feel your great glory in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the
sacrament of “Thanksgiving.” In your death and resurrection, you gave
new life to the world, and likewise you manifested your glory over all
things. You never left us empty-handed for in the Holy Mass you
continue to manifest this glorious wonder to all believers.
May we be continuously strengthened by this glory - the Glory of God in
our midst through the Sacrament of Divine Love. May you continue to
shine in glory in ever Mass we attend, in every sacred host we receive.
May we be glorified as well when we take you into ourselves. Transform
our weak bodies into glorified bodies like yours. And when death comes,
call us to be in total happiness with you in the Kingdom in Heaven where
you live and reign forever. Amen.

SIXTH CHURCH
(Kneel)
All: Amen
LET US PRAY:
the Gospels;
and souls;
existence;
- 22 -
souls. Teach us to appreciate his closeness to us and the immeasurable
and ever.
All: AMEN.

Jesus lifted his eyes toward heaven and prayed: “I have revealed you to
those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave
them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that
everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the
words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew certainly that I
- 23 -
came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am
not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are
yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to
me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still
in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the
power of your name - the name you gave me - so that they ma be one as
we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe
by the name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to
destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the
world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I
have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are
not of the world anymore than I am of the world. My prayer is that you
take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the
truth; your word is truth. As you sent into the world, I have sent them
into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly
sanctified.”
Reflection...
(kneel)
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, you are the eternal High Priest. In your sacrifice in Calvary,
- 24 -
you gave a perfect sacrifice which is sufficient for every time and place.
Through the hands of the priest, you continuously give yourself to us,
and at the same time offer yourself to the Father.
We now pray and offer to you all your priest who tirelessly give us your
Body and Blood in every Mass we attend. Unworthy as they may be, keep
them pure and worthy in mind., word and deed for them to really
celebrate the Sacrament of Love in persona Christi Capitis. Deliver them
from every possible temptation, and may they and their ministry inspire
others to live a holy and pure life as you did her on Earth. Amen.

All: AMEN.

Jesus lifted his eyes to Heaven and prayed: “My prayer is not for them
alone. I pray also for those who will believe in through their message,
that all of them may be one, Father, just you are in me and I am in you.
May they be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I
- 27 -
have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we
are one: I in them and you in me. May they brought to complete unity to
let the world that you sent me and have loved them even as you have
loved me.
“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am , and
to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me
before the creation of the world. “Righteous Father, that you have sent. I
have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in
order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may
be in them.
