8. Prayer to Jesus the Redeemer
O kind and most sweet Jesus, Savior of Mankind, behold me kneeling before You. With all humility I recognize my faults and confess that as a sinner I do not deserve to be heard by You. But with a contrite heat I hope that You will welcome me back as You have welcomed other sinners.
My greatest desire, O Jesus Savior, is that You abide by me in this hour of need. I am sure that You can help me because You are the son of God, and when I see You carrying the Holy Cross I am filled with courage because I remember how much You love me.
In spite of all, however, I can only repeat Your own words to God the Father, “Thy will be done.”

May the burning and most sweet power of Your love, O Lord Jesus Christ, I beseech You, absorb my mind that I may die through love of Your love, Who were graciously pleased to die through love of my love.
16. A Short Visit to the Blessed Sacrament Before Meditation
I place myself in the presence of Him, in whose Incarnate Presence I am before I place myself there.
I adore You, O my Savior, present here as God and man, in soul and body, in true flesh and blood.
I acknowledge and confess that I kneel before that Sacred Humanity, which was conceived in Mary’s womb, and lay in Mary’s bosom; which grew up to man’s estate, and by the Sea of Galilee called the Twelve, wrought miracles, and spoke words of wisdom and peace; which in due season hung on the cross, lay in the tomb, rose from the dead, and now reigns in heaven.
I praise, and bless, and give myself wholly to Him, Who is the true Bread of my soul, and my everlasting joy.
17. Act of Adoration
With deepest humility, I adore You, my Lord and God; You have made my soul Your dwelling place. I adore You as my Creator from whose hands I came and with whom I am to be happy forever.
18. Prayer Before a Crucifix
Look
down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Your face I humbly kneel, and
with burning soul pray and beseech You to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments
of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of
amendment, while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Your five
wounds, pondering over them within me, calling to mind the words which David,
Your prophet, said of You, my good Jesus: “They have pierced my hands and my
feet; they have numbered all my bones” Ps 21, 17-18).
19. Prayer Before a Crucifix
Dear good and gentle Jesus, I come before You, asking You most earnestly to engrave uon my heart a deep and lively faith, hope and charity, true repentance for my sins, and a firm resolve to make amends.
As I reflect upon Your five most precious wounds of crucifixion, and contemplate them with great love and tender pity, I recall the wounds said of You long ago, dear Jesus: They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have counted all my bones.
Permit me never to be separated from You, O Lord, and defend me from all that is harmful and evil. Amen.
20. Prayer on Friday
O Jesus, it was on a Friday that You shed Your precious Blood on the Cross and redeemed the world. You did penance for the entire world. Mother Church asks that I set every Friday of the year aside as a special day of penance. This Friday I want to offer special prayers and sacrifices in reparation for my personal sins and those of the world.
O Jesus, there are so many things I do in penance on Friday. I can visit the sick, the lonely; I can do special things to serve You in my neighbor.
21. Devotion Prayer the Holy Face
O Jesus, who in Thy Cruel
Passion became the “Reproach of men and the Man of Sorrows,” I worship Your
divine Face.
Once it shone with the beauty and sweetness of the Divinity; now for my sake it is become as the face of a leper.
Yet in that disfigured countenance I recognize Your infinite love, and I am consumed with the desire of loving You and making You loved by all mankind.
The tears that streamed in such abundance from Your eyes are to me as precious pearls which I delight to gather, that with their infinite worth I may ransom the souls of the poor sinners.
O Jesus, whose Face is the sole beauty that ravishes my heart, I may not behold here upon earth the sweetness of Your glance nor feel the ineffable tenderness of Your kiss.
To this I consent, but I pray that you imprint in me Your Divine Likeness, and I beg You to so inflame me with Your love, that it may quickly consume me, and soon I may reach the vision of Your glorious Face in heaven! Amen.
22. Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified
My good and dear Jesus, I kneel before You, asking You most earnestly to engrave upon my heart a deep and lively faith, hope and charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm resolve to make amends. As I reflect upon Your five wounds, and dwell upon them with deep compassion and grief, I recall, good Jesus, the words the prophet David spoke long ago concerning Yourself: “They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have counted all my bones!”
“Nothing is more practical than finding God, . . . than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love with Him and it will change everything.”

from heaven, how infinitely great and good is Your love! In order to perpetuate

perpetually reserved in the Eucharistic Sanctuary of Lanciano. Oh, increase
ever more our faith in You, Sacramental Lord.
Grant that burning with love for You, we may come to seek comfort in dangers, in necessities and in anxieties, only at your feet, O Divine Prisoner of our tabernacles, O perpetual fount of every grace.

Dear Jesus, I know that your Sacred Heart is sorrowful because so many people neither love you nor trust in you. Behold, Lord, here I am. Though weak and sinful, I love you and I trust in you. I intend that all my actions this day be for the purpose of consoling you.
Heavenly Father, in union with
all the Masses being offered today, I give you praise and thanks for the many
gifts you will send me, including the gift of my small sharing in the Cross.
May this my prayer glorify you and console your Son. With the help of your
grace, I resolve to remain all day in this prayerful spirit of praise and thanks
and, further, to console Jesus by being merciful to my neighbor through my
deeds, words, and prayers.
Mary, my mother, come with your spouse, the Spirit. Make my sacrifice of praise, thanks, and mercy a most pleasing consolation to your Son. Behold, I present to you all I am and have. Take my offering so it may pass through your Immaculate Heart, to Jesus’ Sacred Heart, and on to the Father, for his greater glory. Amen.

Body of Christ, be my salvation;
Blood of Christ, fill all my veins;
Water of Christ’s side, wash out my stains;
Passion of Christ, my comfort be;
O good Jesus, listen to me;
In thy wounds, I fain would hide;

Guard me, should the foe assail me;
Call me when my life shall fail me;
Bid me come to thee above,
With thy saints to sing thy love
World without end. Amen.

Merciful and loving Father, you provided for your people Israel in their exodus from slavery a promised land that you established for them, and in Jesus Christ you provide welcome refuge for all in need.
We ask for you divine protection for all migrants who have left their homes in search of new opportunity in another land.
For refuges, who are forced from their homes due to threats of violence, we beseech you to provide them a safe haven.
For migrants trafficked into slavery, grant them rescue, healing, and the strength to start again.
