DIOCESE OF ROCKFORD EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL PRAYER

O, Jesus, truly present in the Most Holy Eucharist, I adore You, I praise You, I treasure You. I acknowledge that You are truly present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity under sacramental signs. When the priest elevates the Host, it is You whom I adore. When I bow before the monstrance in adoration, it is You whom I adore. When I make visits to the tabernacle, it is You whom I adore. During these years of Eucharistic Revival in our country, may Bishop Malloy, the priests, deacons, consecrated men and women, seminarians and lay faithful of the Diocese of Rockford, receive a renewed and strengthened devotion to You in the Most Blessed Sacrament. May I praise You more frequently, more sincerely, and more faithfully each day as I encounter You personally in the Holy Eucharist. I pray that in this local church the Eucharist will truly be the source and summit of the Christian life. As I encounter You in the Sacrament of Your Body and Blood, may I be led to greater charity and concern for my brothers and sisters in the human family, recognizing Your face in each one of them. May we all possess a unity in faith, adoration and mission. O Dear Jesus, May You be praised, worshipped, and adored in all the tabernacles of the world now and until the end of time.

Amen
