Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
behold us prostrate in Thy divine presence.
We humble ourselves profoundly
and beg of Thee the forgiveness of our sins.
I.
We adore Thee, Almighty Father,
and with hearts overflowing
we thank Thee that Thou hast given us
Thy Divine Son Jesus to be our Redeemer,
and that He hath bequeathed Himself to us
in the most august Eucharist
even to the end of the world,
revealing unto us the wondrous love of His Heart
in this mystery of faith and love.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
II.
O Word of God,
dear Jesus our Redeemer,
we adore Thee and with hearts over-flowing
we thank Thee for having taken human flesh upon Thee
and become for our redemption both Priest and Victim
in the sacrifice of the Cross,
a sacrifice which,
through the exceeding love of Thy Sacred Heart,
Thou dost renew upon our altars at every moment.
O High Priest,
O Divine Victim,
give us the grace to honour Thy holy sacrifice
in the most adorable Eucharist
with the homage of Mary most holy
and of all Thy holy Church,
triumphant, suffering and militant.
We offer ourselves wholly to Thee;
of Thine infinite goodness and mercy
do Thou accept our offering,
unite it to Thine own
and grant us Thy blessing.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
III.
O Divine Spirit the Paraclete,
we adore Thee and with hearts overflowing
we give Thee thanks that Thou hast,
with such great love for us,
wrought the ineffable blessing
of the Incarnation of the Word of God,
a blessing which is being continually extended
and enlarged in the most august Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Ah, by this adorable mystery of the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
do Thou grant unto us and all poor sinners Thy holy grace.
Pour forth Thy holy gifts upon us
and upon all redeemed souls,
and in an especial manner upon the visible Head of the Church,
the supreme Roman Pontiff,
upon all Cardinals,
Bishops and Pastors of souls,
upon priests and all other ministers of Thy sanctuary.
Amen.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

Act of Adoration and Thanksgiving for the Benefits Accrued from the Incarnation
Act of Adoration and Reparation to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
I ADORE Thee profoundly, O my Jesus,
in Thy sacramental form;
I acknowledge Thee to be true God and true Man,
and by this act of adoration
I intend to atone for the coldness
of so many Christians who pass before Thy churches
and sometimes before the very Tabernacle
in which Thou art pleased to remain at all hours
with loving impatience to give Thyself to Thy faithful people,
and do not so much as bend the knee before Thee,
and who, by their indifference
proclaim that they grow weary of this heavenly manna,
like the people of Israel in the wilderness.
I offer Thee in reparation for this grievous negligence,
the Most Precious Blood which Thou didst shed from Thy five wounds,
and especially from Thy sacred Side,
and entering therein,
I repeat a thousand times with true recollection of spirit:
O Sacrament most holy!
O Sacrament divine!
All praise and all thanksgiving
be every moment Thine.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
II.
Profoundly I adore Thee, my Jesus;
I acknowledge Thy presence in the Blessed Sacrament,
and by this act of adoration
I intend to atone for the carelessness of so many Christians
who see Thee carried to poor sick people
to strengthen them for the great journey to eternity,
and leave Thee unescorted, nay,
who scarcely give Thee any outward marks of reverence.
I offer Thee in reparation for such coldness,
the Most Precious Blood
which Thou didst shed from Thy five wounds
and especially from Thy sacred Side,
and entering therein I say again and again
with my heart full of devotion:
O Sacrament most holy!
O Sacrament divine!
All praise and all thanksgiving
be every moment Thine.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
III.
Profoundly I adore Thee, my Jesus,
true Bread of life eternal,
and by my adoration I intend to compensate Thee
for the many wounds which Thy Heart suffers daily
in the profaning of churches
where Thou art pleased to dwell beneath the sacramental veils
to be adored and loved by all Thy faithful people;
and in reparation for so many acts of irreverence,
I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood
which Thou didst shed from Thy five wounds
and especially from Thy sacred Side,
and entering therein with recollected spirit I repeat every instant:
O Sacrament most holy!
O Sacrament divine!
All praise and all thanksgiving
be every moment Thine.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
IV.
Profoundly I adore Thee, my Jesus,
the living Bread which cometh down from heaven,
and by this act of adoration,
I intend to atone for all the many acts of irreverence
which are committed all the day long by Thy faithful
when they assist at Holy Mass,
wherein through Thine exceeding love Thou
dost renew in an unbloody manner the self-same sacrifice
which Thou didst once offer on Calvary for our salvation.
I offer Thee in atonement for such base ingratitude
the Most Precious Blood which Thou didst shed from Thy five wounds
and especially from Thy sacred Side,
and entering therein with sincere devotion,
I unite my voice to that of the Angels
who stand around Thee in adoration, saying with them:
O Sacrament most holy!
O Sacrament divine!
All praise and all thanksgiving
be every moment Thine.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
V.
Profoundly I adore Thee, my Jesus,
true Victim of expiation for our sins,
and I offer Thee this act of adoration
to atone for the sacrilegious outrages
Thou dost suffer from so many ungrateful Christians
who dare to draw near to receive Thee
with mortal sin upon their souls.
In reparation for such hateful sacrileges
I offer Thee the last drops of Thy Most Precious Blood,
which Thou didst shed from Thy sacred wounds
and especially from the wound in Thy sacred Side,
and entering therein with a devout heart,
I adore Thee,
I bless and I love Thee,
and I repeat with all the hearts
who are devoted to the Blessed Sacrament:
O Sacrament most holy!
O Sacrament divine!
All praise and all thanksgiving
be every moment Thine.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
Act of adoration and praise after communion
O Lord Jesus, sweetest Guest,
mayest Thou have come happily to me,
Thy poor and humble servant.
Mayest Thou have entered in blessing
under this mean and lowly roof.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, in the highest,
for that Thou hast come into my heart,
Thou Day-spring from on high.
O King of peace,
drive from my heart all vain and idle thoughts,
that my soul may imitate and love Thee only,
the Author of peace.
For what beside Thee, O Thou peace,
Thou calm and sweetness of my heart,
should my soul seek for or desire?
Amen.
Act of Adoration #3
I adore Thee O God,
I count myself as nothing before Thy Divine Majesty.
Thou alone art Being, Life, Truth, Beauty and Goodness.
I glorify Thee,
I praise Thee,
I give Thee thanks and I love Thee,
all helpless and unworthy as I am,
in union with Thy dear Son, Jesus Christ,
our Saviour and our Brother,
in the merciful kindness of His Heart
and through His infinite merits.
I desire to serve Thee,
to please Thee,
to obey Thee and to love Thee always,
in union with Mary Immaculate,
Mother of God and our Mother,
loving also and serving my neighbour for the love of Thee.
Wherefore give me Thy Holy Spirit,
to enlighten me,
to correct me
and to guide me in the way of Thy commandments
and in all perfection,
the while I look for the happiness of heaven,
where we shall glorify Thee for ever and ever.
Amen.
Act of Adoration #2
I adore Thee,
O my God,
present in the holy Eucharist,
as my Creator,
my Preserver,
and my Redeemer.
I offer Thee all that I have,
all that I am,
all that depends on me;
I offer Thee my mind to think of Thee,
my heart to love Thee;
my will to serve Thee;
my body to labour and suffer for Thy love.
I am Thine,
I give myself;
I consecrate myself to Thee,
I abandon myself to Thee,
I wish to live and die for love of Thee.
Act of Adoration
Jesus, my God, I adore You,
here present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar,
where You wait day and night to be our comfort
while we await Your unveiled presence in heaven.
Jesus, my God,
I adore You in all places
where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved
and where sins are committed
against this Sacrament of Love.

past, present and future,
for every soul that ever was,
is or shall be created.
Jesus, my God,
who for us has endured hunger and cold,
labour and fatigue,
I adore You.
Jesus, my God, who for my sake
has deigned to subject Yourself
to the humiliation of temptation,
to the perfidy and defection of friends,
to the scorn of Your enemies,
I adore You.
Jesus, my God, who for us has endured
the buffeting of Your passion,
the scourging, the crowning with thorns,
the heavy weight of the cross,
I adore You.
Jesus, my God, who,
for my salvation and that of all mankind,
was cruelly nailed to the cross
and hung there for three long hours in bitter agony, I adore You.
Jesus, My God,
who for love of us
did institute this Blessed Sacrament
and offer Yourself daily for the sins of men,
I adore You.
Jesus, my God,
who in Holy Communion became the food of my soul,
I adore You.
Jesus, for You I live.
Jesus, for You I die.
Jesus, I am Yours in life and death.
Amen.
