Why is it important to make adoration prayer a daily habit? In scripture St. John the Apostle tells us that without Christ we have no love in us. This means that left on our own, without prayer of praise and adoration to God, we will cease to have the capacity to love.

We need to make adoration prayer a priority so that we can truly see our souls and our lives in relation to God as well as our eternal life in Him. This is why we make prayers of adoration each day, so that by praising and adoring Jesus Christ we can humble ourselves and recognize that without His grace and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we are truly incapable of anything good.

Simply put, we need Him to exist in love. When we bless his holy name we participate in reciprocal grace. As he lovingly tells us in the Gospels, He is the true vine. We also adore him in the Eucharist because the Eucharist is the heart of Christ.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.

John 15:1-4

Adoration Prayer to Jesus, a Prayer
before the Blessed Sacrament

Lord Jesus Christ, who for love of us remains night and day in this Sacrament full of kindness and love awaiting, inviting and welcoming all who come to visit You, I believe that You are present in the Sacrament of the altar. I adore You from the depth of my own nothingness and I thank You for all the graces which You have granted me.

I thank You especially for having given Yourself to me in this Sacrament; for having given me Your own most holy mother, Mary, for my advocate and for having called me to visit You in this sacred place.

I pay homage this day to Your adorable heart and desire to do so for three ends: firstly, in thanksgiving for this great gift; secondly, to make reparation for all the injuries which You have received in this Sacrament from your enemies; and thirdly, I desire to adore You, through this visit, in all the places on earth where Your sacramental presence is least honored and most neglected.

My Jesus, I love You with my whole heart. I am sorry for having offended Your infinite goodness so many times in the past. I resolve, with the help of Your grace never to offend You any more for the time to come; and at this present moment I consecrate myself completely to You. I give to You withholding nothing, my own will, my inclinations, my desires, everything that is mine. From this day forward, do with me and with what belongs to me as it shall please You. All that I ask and desire is Your holy love, final perseverance, and the perfect fulfillment of Your will.

I commend to You the souls in purgatory, particularly those who were most devoted to the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary, your holy mother. I commend to You, too all poor sinners. And now, dear Savior, I join all my desires with the desires of Your loving heart. I offer them to Your Eternal Father and I beg Him in Your name, and for Your love to accept them and fulfill them.

AMEN.
