Prayer to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament
Blessed are you, Mary exalted daughter of Sion! You are highly favoured and full of grace, for the spirit of God descended upon you. We magnify the Lord and rejoice with you for the gift of the Word made flesh, bread of life and cup of joy. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, our model of prayer in the cenacle, pray for us that we may become what we receive, the body of Christ your son. Amen |

CONSECRATION TO OUR LADY OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT
Mother of the Word of God, you offer to us your Son living in the Eucharist. Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, you feed us with the fruit of your womb, Jesus. In the light of the Holy Spirit you illumine our hearts with Holy Wisdom.
I admire the excellence of your adoration and Eucharistic service in the Cenacle. I now give myself entirely to you to guard and direct my vocation as an adorer. I place into your hands the direction of my vocation and the graces of the awesome duties that it asks of me. My vocation of adorer is the most beautiful of all, since it retains me forever in the service of the Person of Jesus Christ in His Divine Sacrament. Into your hands I place the direction of my vocation and the graces of the sublime duties it asks of me. My vocation of adorer is beautiful, the most beautiful of all, since it keeps me forever in the service of the Adorable Person of Jesus Christ in His Divine Sacrament.
My vocation is awe-inspiring; to share the service of the angels and, dare I say, of the Blessed Virgin herself, in the praise of Jesus. For this vocation, I should have some true virtues, and, at least, ordinary piety —but, alas! I have nothing, and I am nothing! I can do nothing! You chose me, poor infirm creature, a nothing full of miseries, still covered with the scars of my sins, still with the old self that lives in me. How dare I accept this grace, to be in the same house with your Holy Mother, to remain in your company and in your presence?
0 Mary, my celestial Queen and my Divine Mother, I can only accept the honor of becoming the happy servant of our Eucharistic Jesus, if you consent to form me, to raise me, and to clothe me with your spirit, your virtues, your merits. Take me for your child, Queen and Mother of the servants of Jesus. You who love only in Jesus and for Jesus! I place into your hands, my good Mother, the grace and the service of my vocation. I give myself to you, in return give Jesus to me. Formed and presented by you, O good Mother, Jesus, my sweet Master, will receive me kindly and love me in you.
My vocation is beautiful; its duties are great and holy. I desire to spend my life in adoration at the foot of Incarnate Love. Before that Eucharistic throne, I will join the angels and saints in what they do and will eternally do in heaven: praising the infinite bounty of God and blessing the boundless mercy of God. With this gift-of-self, I devote my life to live the mystery of the Eucharist fully and make known the love of God in service to others.
I desire to live with Jesus in the Host, like the Blessed Virgin at Nazareth and in the Cenacle, like the saints in glory, united in love and care of others. My mission is that of Magdalen, contemplative, with the Queen of the Apostles in the Cenacle, praying before the tabernacle, converting the world by her prayer at the foot of the Eucharist; that of St. Teresa, St. Catherine of Siena, and of all those holy souls who carry on a continuous apostolate of prayer and self-offering. I ought to honor in an entirely special manner the interior and hidden life of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
O my good Mother, since you agree to become my teacher, you will let me adore Jesus with you, bless Jesus with your praises, entreat Jesus with your prayers, serve Jesus with your hands, love Jesus with your heart, glorify Jesus with your sanctity. I will be your disciple, your child, and, shall I say it? —a little Mary, another you, —the servant of Jesus! I shall tell you simply and honestly my faults, 0 my good Mother! I shall give you the tiny flowers of virtue that I have gathered, and you will offer all to Jesus, with myself along with yourself. On this condition alone, I hope to become a true servant of the Most Blessed Sacrament. My God, behold your humble servant! Let it be done to me according to your merciful goodness and your grace of love!
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Mother and Model of Adorers, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
