Prayer Guide For Visita Iglesia
FIRST CHURCH
+In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN
LEADER: 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
Eucharistic 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 live 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 struggles until we come to see you in eternal glory. Amen.
• SECOND CHURCH
+In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN

“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.
The Gospel of the Lord.
LEADER: 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 makes us live more according
to your 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
+In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN
LEADER: 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 we 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.
2
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. Everytime 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
with your divine presence in us. And when the priest tells 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.
LEADER: 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.
Many 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 love for this memorial of your saving work for us.
This might lead us to become the 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.

+In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN
LEADER: 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.

“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 any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not 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 me into
the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be
truly sanctified.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
LEADER: Lord Jesus, you are the eternal High Priest. In your sacrifice in Calvary, 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 priests 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 here on Earth. Amen.
LEADER: Lord Jesus, you are in the Father, just as he is in you. In the Holy Eucharist, you
continuously manifest your total unity with us. This is one big grace that no mere mortal can
understand, except for those enlightened by your Word and Grace.
5
We pray you, Lord! May we be one with you and the Father in every Mass we participate. May
we feel that we are never alone when we receive you in Communion; that you dwell deep
within us. Make us feel loved, strengthened, sanctified. Never leave us after which, and guide
us that you may be manifested in us every time we communicate and work with others. May
we be Eucharistic People, a people of glory chosen for your service and divine mission here in
Earth. Amen.
