Online Perpetual Adoration
A Prayer to Spiritually Unite Oneself to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Lord Jesus Christ,
Although I cannot, during this hour, approach Thee physically in the Sacrament of Thy love, I would approach Thee by desire and by faith. Transport me, I beseech Thee, by the lifting up of my mind and heart, to that tabernacle in the world where Thou art, at this hour, most forsaken, utterly forgotten, and without human company. Let the radiance of Thy Eucharistic Face so penetrate my soul that by offering Thee adoration and reparation, even as I am busy doing ordinary things in an ordinary way, I may obtain from Thy Sacred Heart the return of at least one priest to the Tabernacle where Thou waitest for him today.
Amen.
You are invited to a deeply rewarding and intimate experience to know and love Christ.
But what is adoration?
by St. Peter Julian Eymard to the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament
Paris, Wednesday, August 1, 1860
It is the activity of heaven here on earth; it is what the angels and saints are doing: they adore God, the immolated Lamb on his throne, as their creator and savior. In order to adore him, they prostrate themselves at the foot of the throne and say: Worthy are you, O Lord, to receive glory, honor and power, because you purchased us with your blood (cf. Rv 5:9,12). Since they are all kings, they take their crowns and place them at his feet, to do homage to him. When they are all praying, St. John says that the angel of prayer gathered all these prayers, and placed them in the gold censer (cf. Ap 8:3) – and the smoke went up before the throne, and God received the incense of prayer with love.
