 Sacrament  most holy!

O Sacrament  divine!

All praise  and  all  thanks giving be every  moment thine!

Indulgence of 100  days, once a  day.— Pius  VII,  Dec. 7,  1819.

O Jesus,  in  the  Blessed  Sacrament,  have  mercy  on  us.

Jesus, humbly  kneeling  in  Thy  presence and united  with  all the faithful  on  earth  and all the  saints  in  heaven,  I adore  Thee,  true  God  and true man,  here  present in the  Holy  Eucharist. Grateful even  to  the  very depths of  my  soul,  I  love Thee with  my  whole  heart, O Jesus,  Who  art  infinitely perfect and  infinitely  amiable. Enrich me  with  Thy grace, so  that  I  shall  never in any  way  offend  Thee; and, thus  strengthened  here on earth  by  Thy  eucharistic presence, may  I  merit  to enjoy  with  Mary  Thy  eternal and  blessed  presence in heaven. Amen.

An indulgence of  100  days each time  this  ejaculation  is said,  and  an  indulgence  of 300  days  on  any  day  of  the year may  be  gained  by  all the faithful  who  devoutly recite this  prayer  in  the presence of  the  Blessed  Sacrament.— Acta  Apostolic  Sedis, April, 1909. Vide "The Ecclesiastical  Review  Year Book"  for  1911,  p.  134.

V. O  God,  come  to  my assistance.

R. O  Lord,  make  haste to help  me.

Our Father,  Glory  be  to  the  Father.

The chaplet consists  of  thirty-three  aspirations,  which may  be  used  during  the  hour  of  adoration  before  the  Blessed Sacrament. After each  aspiration  may  be  added  an  Our Father,  and  at  the  end  of  each  decade  a  Glory  be  to  the  Father.
