Sacramental prayers are sacred devotions centered on the Eucharist, where bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. These prayers encompass both the blessing of the sacrament itself and personal prayers before the Blessed Sacrament. Through these prayers, believers express their faith in Christ’s real presence, seek spiritual communion, and participate in this central mystery of faith that has been celebrated since the Last Supper.

Sacramental Prayer
My Lord Jesus Christ,
Who, through the love which you bear toward men,
does remain with them day and night in this sacrament,
full of mercy and love,
awaiting, inviting and receiving all who come to visit you,
I believe that you are present in the Sacrament of the Altar.
From the abyss of my nothingness, I adore you.
I thank you for all the graces which you have bestowed upon me,
particularly for having given me yourself in this sacrament,
for having given my your most holy Mother Mary for my advocate,
and for having called me to visit you in this church.
Amen.
