TREASURY OF PRAYER
OUR LADY OF THE Virgin Immaculate, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, we invoke
you under the title of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament
because you are the Mother of the Saviour who lives in the Eucharist.
It was from you He took the flesh and blood with which He feeds
us in the Sacred Host. We also invoke you under that title because
the grace of the Eucharist comes to us through you, since you
are the Mediatrix, the channel, through which God’s graces
reach us. And, finally, we call you Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament
because you were the first to live the Eucharistic life. Teach
us to pray the Mass as you did, to receive Holy Communion worthily
and frequently, and to visit devoutly with Our Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament. Virgin Immaculate, your Communions were the most fervent and the most holy ever made. When you received your Divine Son into your heart, you loved Him with a love exceeding that of any other creature for his God. Teach us to make Holy Communion the center of our life, as it was of yours, so that our lives may be entirely spent in preparing for the coming of Jesus in Communion and in thanking Him for the gift of himself to us. Virgin Immaculate, after the Ascension of Jesus into heaven, you found consolation in your separation from Him by visiting Him often in the Blessed Sacrament. Obtain for us the grace to be always conscious of His presence in the tabernacle and to visit Him often as you did, especially when we are troubled, lonely, afraid and in pain of body or mind. Teach us to remember that He is always there, ready to listen to us, to guide, protect, and console us. Virgin Immaculate, you are the perfect model of adorers of the Blessed Sacrament. You adored Jesus in the little white Host with the same faith, reverence and wonder with which you adored Him on the first Christmas night and during all the years you lived with Him. Teach us not to forget that the small white Host is truly our God, infinite, eternal and omnipotent. Help us to conduct ourselves at all times in His presence with the modesty and reverence we owe to our God. Virgin Immaculate, you gave to Jesus the most perfect thanksgiving for the institution of the Eucharist. Teach us to thank your Divine Son for the gift of Himself in the Blessed Sacrament. Teach us also to thank Him after we have received Him in Communion. And since our best thanksgiving can never equal yours, permit us to offer Him your thanksgiving after Communion, your fervor, your love, your devotion. Virgin Immaculate, you gave to Jesus in the Sacred Host perfect reparation. We desire to accept our daily trials for love of Him and with you, to console Him for the ingratitude of men and the slights and outrages He suffers daily in the Blessed Sacrament both from those who believe in Him and those who do not. Virgin Immaculate, while the apostles preached the Gospel, you stayed close to your Divine Son in the tabernacle and prayed to Him for the graces they needed to convert the world. Teach us to pray before the tabernacle where Jesus waits day and night to hear and grant our petitions. Teach us to pray not only for ourselves, but also for those who do not know Him in the Sacrament of His love, so that the gift of faith may be given them, and His Eucharistic Kingdom may be spread throughout the world. Virgin Immaculate, perfect lover of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, we ask you to obtain for us the graces we need to become true adorers of our Eucharistic God. Grant us, we beg of you, to know Him better, to love Him more, and to center our lives around the Eucharist, that is, to make our whole life a constant prayer of adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and petition to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Amen. V. Pray for us, O Virgin Immaculate, Our Lady of the Most Blessed
Sacrament. Lord Jesus Christ, our King and our God, who are true God and true Man in the Bread of the Eucharist, we beg of You, that, in venerating so great a mystery, we may be mindful of Your Blessed Mother, in whose body You were conceived by the Holy Spirit. Grant also that we may imitate her manner of worshiping You in the Sacred Host, her adoration, her thanksgiving, her reparation, her prayer, so that we may see Your Eucharistic Kingdom spread and flourish throughout the whole world. Amen. Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Most Holy Sacrament, glory of the Christian people, joy of the universal Church, salvation of the world, pray for us and grant to all the faithful true devotion to the most Holy Eucharist, so that they may become worthy to receive It daily. 500 days.
