Eucharistic Adoration and Sacred Heart Litany The Blessed Sacrament is placed in the monstrance for adoration. O salutaris hostia O salutaris Hostia, Quae caeli pandis ostium: Bella premunt hostilia, Da robur, fer auxilium. Uni trinoque Domino Sit sempiterna gloria, Qui vitam sine termino Nobis donet in patria. Amen. [O saving Victim, opening wide, The gate of heaven to man below! Our foes press on from every side; Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow. To Thy great name by endless praise, Immortal Godhead, one in Three; Oh, grant us endless length of days, In our true native land with Thee. Amen] Examination of Conscience Pentitence Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. x 2 Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. Opening Prayer Lord our God, in this great sacrament we come into the presence of Jesus Christ, your Son, born of the Virgin Mary and crucified for our salvation. May we who declare our faith in this fountain of love and mercy drink from it the water of everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. All: Amen. Silent prayer and adoration. Adoro te devote Adoro te devote, latens Deitas, Godhead here in hiding, Whom I do adore, Quae sub his figuris vere latitas; Masked by these bare shadows, Shape and nothing more, Tibi se cor meum totum subiicit, See, Lord, at thy service Low lies here a heart Quia te contemplans, totum deficit. Lost, all lost in wonder At the God thou art. Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur, Seeing, touching, tasting Are in thee deceived: Sed auditu solo tuto creditur; How says trusty hearing? That shall be believed; Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius, What God's Son has told me, Take for truth I do; Nil hoc verbo veritatis verius. Truth himself speaks truly Or there's nothing true. In Cruce latebat sola Deitas. On the cross thy godhead Made no sign to men, At hic latet simul et humanitas: Here thy very manhood Steals from human ken: Ambo tamen credens, Both are my confession, atque confitens, Both are my belief, Peto quod petivit latro paenitens. And I pray the prayer Of the dying thief. Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor, I am not like Thomas, Wounds I cannot see, Deum tamen meum te confiteor: But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he; Fac me tibi semper magis credere, Let me to a deeper faith Daily nearer move, In te spem habere, te diligere. Daily make me harder Hope and dearer love. O memoriale mortis Domini, O thou our reminder Of Christ crucified, Panis vivus vitam Living Bread, the life of us praestans homini: For whom he died, Praesta meae menti de te vivere, Lend this life to me then: Feed and feast my mind, Et te illi semper dulce sapere. There be thou the sweetness Man was meant to find. Pie pellicane Iesu Domine, Bring the tender tale True of the Pelican; Me immundum munda Bathe me, Jesu Lord, tuo Sanguine: In what thy bosom ran Cuius una stilla salvum facere Blood whereof a single drop Has power to win Totum mundum quit All the world forgiveness ab omni scelere. Of its world of sin. Iesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio, Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below, Oro, fiat illud, quod tam sitio, I beseech thee send me What I thirst for so, Ut te revelata cernens facie, Some day to gaze on thee Face to face in light Visu sim beatus tuae gloriae. And be blest for ever With thy glory's sight. Amen. Amen. Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus St. Margaret Mary: Conform yourself as closely as possible to His humility and gentleness in dealing with your neighbour. Love those who humble and contradict you, for they are more useful to your perfection than those who flatter you. Keep your heart in peace and let nothing trouble you, not even your faults. You must humble yourself and amend them peacefully, without being discouraged or cast down, for God's dwelling is in peace. He only asks of you abandonment and perfect submission. Nothing displeases Him so much as your uneasiness and despondency. What do you fear? Is He not powerful enough to support you? Why, then, are you so reserved with Him? Let Him act! Our Lord Jesus Christ desires that we should, for sanctifying ourselves, glorify His all-loving Heart; for it was His Heart that suffered the most in His Sacred Humanity. St. Faustina Kowalska: I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection, O Lord. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbour. Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbours’ souls and come to their rescue. Help me, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbours’ needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings. Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbour, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all. Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbours and take upon myself the more difficult and toilsome tasks. Help me, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbour, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness. My true rest is in the service of my neighbour. Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbour. I will refuse my heart to no one. I will be sincere even with those who, I know, will abuse my kindness. And I will lock myself up in the most merciful Heart of Jesus. I will bear my own suffering in silence. May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me. Let us Pray: O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Grant, Good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger. Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.
