Saint Peter Julian, who received the great privilege of so perfectly knowing what treasures are ours in the Most Blessed Sacrament, of being all afire with seraphic love for Christ present in it, and of consecrating unto the Blessed Sacrament your untiring zeal that Christ in the Eucharist might be perpetually adored and glorified by all mankind, we beg of you to obtain for us the spiritual and temporal favors of which we stand in need:
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Obtain for us particularly to become, in imitation of you, faithful adorers in spirit and in truth of the Most Blessed Sacrament, while tending ever more toward the acquiring of Christian virtue, above all, of sincere humility.
Thus we hope to live that life of union with Our Lord which was the aim of your constant zeal, as it is the principal effect on Holy Communion in our souls.
Finally, Saint Peter Julian, obtain for us your own filial devotion toward Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, that we may learn from that dear Divine Mother how to serve and adore on earth Our Savior hidden in His Sacrament, and thus come to adore and glorify Him unveiled in heaven.
Amen
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary Glory Be
O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us. Saint Peter Julian Eymard, pray for us.
Coming of the Eucharistic Reign of Christ
Saint Peter Julian who, all aflame with faith in the Holy Eucharist, pleaded with the world, “Jesus is there, go to Him,” obtain through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, that this cry from the depths of your heart may re-echo in all hearts and lead to a renewal and deepening of Christian life everywhere.
May your call resound even more powerfully and fruitfully from heaven where you now share the glory of the saints. May it raise among the faithful and especially among priests, to whom you were so constantly devoted, new armies of adorers and apostles of the Eucharist who, like you, will dedicate themselves to its glorification among individuals and nations, and work for the coming of the peace of Christ in His reign of love.
Amen.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
