Eucharistic Adoration

"Stay here and keep watch with Me." Come before the Blessed Sacrament, be still, and let the Lord minister to your soul in the silence of His presence.

"Taste and see that the Lord is good." — Psalm 34:8

Enter into Silence

Quiet yourself before God. Set your intention and begin.

Silent Adoration Mode

Dim your screen, set a timer, and rest in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. A gentle bell will call you back.

Prayers Before the Blessed Sacrament

Traditional and beloved prayers to guide your time with Jesus

Act of Adoration

A beautiful act of worship recognising the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

O Jesus, true God and true Man, hidden beneath the veil of bread, I believe that You are present here...
O Jesus, true God and true Man, hidden beneath the veil of bread, I believe that You are present here — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.

I adore You with all the powers of my soul. I love You with my whole heart. I thank You for all the graces You have given me, especially for having left Yourself to us in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

I am unworthy of Your presence, yet I trust in Your mercy and compassion. Draw me ever closer to You. Amen.

Anima Christi

A centuries-old prayer of union with Christ, beloved by St. Ignatius of Loyola and the saints.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me...
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from Thee.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me,
and bid me come to Thee,
that with Thy saints I may praise Thee
forever and ever. Amen.

O Salutaris Hostia

A Eucharistic hymn by St. Thomas Aquinas, sung at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

O saving Victim, opening wide the gate of heaven to us below; our foes press hard on every side...
O saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of heaven to us below,
Our foes press hard on every side,
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.

To Thy great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee. Amen.

Tantum Ergo

The final two verses of St. Thomas Aquinas' Pange Lingua, sung at Benediction.

Down in adoration falling, this great Sacrament we hail...
Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail;
Lo! o'er ancient forms departing,
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying
Where the feeble senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son who reigns on high,
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty. Amen.

Spiritual Communion

When we cannot receive sacramentally, this prayer unites our hearts to Jesus in the Eucharist.

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament...
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The Divine Praises

Prayed after Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in reparation for blasphemy and profanity.
