Adoration Prayer
My Lord Jesus Christ, 
I believe that You are really here in this Sacrament. 
Night and day You remain here compassionate and loving. 
You call, You wait for, You welcome everyone who comes to visit You. 
I thank You, Jesus my Divine Redeemer for coming upon the earth for our sake 
and for instituting the Adorable Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist in order to remain with us until the end of the world. 
I thank You for hiding beneath the Eucharistic species
Your infinite majesty and beauty, which Your Angels delight to behold, 
so that I might have courage to approach the throne of Your mercy. 
I thank You dear Jesus, for having become the priceless Victim, to merit for me the fullness of heavenly favors. 
Awaken in me such confidence in You that their fullness may descend ever more fruitfully upon my soul. 
I thank You for offering Yourself in thanksgiving to God for all His benefits, 
spiritual and temporal which He has bestowed on me. 
Grant me grace and perseverance in your faithful service. 
Amen.

Praise after Communion

O Lord Jesus, sweetest Guest, may Thou have come happily to me, Thy poor and humble servant.
May Thou have entered in blessing under this mean and lowly roof.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, in the highest, for that Thou hast come into my heart, Thou Day-spring from on high.
O King of peace, drive from my heart all vain and idle thoughts, that my soul may imitate and love Thee only,
the Author of peace.
For what beside Thee, O Thou peace, Thou calm and sweetness of my heart, should my soul seek for or desire?
Amen.

Act of Consecration to the Holy Spirit

On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses,
I offer myself soul and body to Thee, Eternal Spirit of God.
I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice, and the might of Thy love.
Thou art the Strength and Light of my soul.
In Thee I live and move and am.
I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace,
and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee.
Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Thy light
and listen to Thy voice and follow Thy gracious inspirations.
I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee and ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness.
Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds
and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart,
I implore Thee Adorable Spirit, helper of my infirmity,
so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee.
Give me grace O Holy Ghost, Spirit of the Father and the Son,
to say to Thee always and everywhere, "Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth."
Amen.

For all the blessings of the light;
Keep us, we pray, O King of kings,
Beneath Your own almighty wings.

Morning Offering

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of a new day.
Thank You for the sleep which has refreshed me and for the chance to begin life again today.
I welcome this new day as Your gift to me, and in its first moments,
I offer myself to you.
Father, I will quietly and serenely receive from Your hand the work and burden of this day:
its joys, its sorrows, its challenges, its responsibilities and its opportunities.
Bless this day for me, for those I love, and for all Your children.
To us all, grant your provisions for our needs today and the grace to see this day in the light of eternity.
Amen.

Prayer of Thanks for People

God of Love, I thank You for the people in my life who are easy to love.
I thank You for my family and friends who understand my actions, who support me in my decisions, and whose presence can lift the burden of a thorny day.

Help me with those who are difficult to love.
When they come at me with criticism and wild expectations,
when they ignore me or try to bend me to their will, let me recognize their flaws and their dangers.
But then let me remember your attitude toward them, and lead me to see them in the light of Your love.
Amen.
