Saints LightPrayer for a Visit to the Blessed Sacrament
Written for this app, in the spirit of St Alphonsus Liguori, whose book of Visits to the Blessed Sacrament (1745) taught generations to stop in a church and spend a few minutes with Jesus. Pray it whenever you make a visit, even a short one on the way to somewhere else.
The prayer
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are truly here in the tabernacle, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. I adore You, and I thank You for waiting here day and night for anyone who comes.
I bring You what I carry today: the people I love, the things I fear, the sins I am sorry for. Take them, and give me what I need instead.
Stay with me when I leave this church. Let me carry a little of Your peace into my home and my work, until I come back to You again. Amen.
Pray it this week
Find a church near your work or errands that is open during the day and stop in for five minutes this week; pray this, then simply sit.
