O 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.

A Prayer for the Holy Hour or for any Visit to the Blessed Sacrament

Ejaculation

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

Prayer

O 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.


The Crown or Chaplet of the Blessed Sacrament

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.
