Opening Prayer
Pray this same prayer each day after the day's meditation.
O amiable Jesus Who has given us in the adorable Eucharist, so convincing a proof of Thy infinite love, permit us to thank Thee in the name of all Thy creatures, for the blessings included in this one precious gift. We adore Thee, O hidden Deity and most ardently wish we could offer Thee such love as would atone for our own offences, and those committed by all mankind against this most amiable mystery.
Convinced by these Thy tender mercies that our confidence in Thy goodness cannot be too great, we come now to implore of Thee, by that infinite love which induced Thee to institute this adorable sacrament, and by all the graces which have ever flowed from this source of every blessing, to grant us the favor we ask in this novena.
We firmly purpose to become from this moment the devoted adorers of this sacrament of love, and to take Thy eucharistic life for the rule and model of ours. Give us grace to honour Thy silence on our altar by the spirit of recollection and prayer; Thy poverty, obedience, and adorable sanctity by detachment from all things, renunciation of self-will, and horror of sin. Above all, we beseech Thee, O living Bread of eternal life, to remove all obstacles to our frequently and worthily receiving Thee. Amen.
