 PRAYER OF ADORATION
My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that
you are really present in the Sacred Host. I
adore you beneath the sacramental veil which
you have mercifully chosen in order to
approach us.
Permit me, O dearest Jesus, to render
to you my homage together with the
angels who surround your altar
throne.
I believe that you dwell on our altars
not only to receive
our humble adoration, but also to be the
food of our souls, our sacrifice to the
infinite majesty of the eternal Father, our
light in darkness, our counsel in doubt,
our consolation in affliction,
our strength in temptation, our solace
in suffering, our joy in persecution,
our friend in every need, our teacher
in the school of perfection, our
Master and our Model in striving to
become saints.
I am sinful and needy, but I trust in your
boundless mercy that keeps you a prisoner
of love in the tabernacle. I come to you
with a contrite heart and I beg your pardon
and mercy. You are truly called the “Lover
of Souls;.
For you have sacrificed your life for
our salvation. I thank you for this
sublime proof of your love, and
ardently wish that I could worthily
acknowledge all the blessings
That I have ever received from this
fountain of grace and mercy. Continue to
give me your love, then my heart will be
satisfied, and I will ask for nothing more.
Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done.
Amen
BLESSINGS
UPON THE
FAMILIES OF
OUR NATION
God, our heavenly Father, in
Your divine wisdom and
solicitude for humankind, You
instituted marriage for the
mutual earthly and eternal
happiness of men and women
and for the continuation of the
human race. Be pleased to
bestow your divine blessing on
the homes of our beloved
country.
 
Give to men a share in Your Divine
Fatherhood, a fuller understanding
of the dignity and responsibility of
their calling. Make them careful
providers, gentle protectors, and
shining examples of virtue in their
homes.
Give to women a true realization of
the dignity and purpose of
motherhood; let the beautiful
example of the most holy Mother of
Your Son inspire them with a deep
loyalty and constant devotion to
their families.
May the life of Your divine
Son inspire a spirit of love,
respect, and obedience in the
souls of children.
Grant that fathers, mothers and children
may have charity, which is the bond of
perfection. May peace of Christ reign in
their hearts and homes so that instructed
by the example of the Holy Family, Jesus,
Mary, and Joseph, they may be received by
you into their eternal home through Christ,
Our Lord. Amen.
