Prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament | Portiuncula Chapel

My Lord Jesus Christ, who because of your love for men remain night and day in the Blessed Sacrament, full of pity and of love, awaiting, calling and welcoming all who come to visit you, I believe that you are present here on the altar. I adore you, and I thank you for all the graces you have bestowed on me, especially for having given me yourself in this sacrament, for having given me your most holy Mother Mary to plead for me, and for having called me to visit you in this church.

I now salute your most loving Heart, and that for three ends: first, in thanksgiving for this great gift; secondly, to make amends to you for all the outrages committed against you in this Sacrament by your enemies; thirdly, I intend by this visit to adore you in all the places on earth in which you are present in the Blessed Sacrament and in which you are least honored and most abandoned.

My Jesus, I love you with my whole heart. I am very sorry for having so many times offended your infinite goodness. With the help of your grace, I purpose never to offend you again. And now, unworthy though I am, I consecrate myself to you without reserve. I renounce and give entirely to you my will, my affection, my desires, and all that I possess. For the future, dispose of me and all I have as you please.

All I ask of you is your holy love, final perseverance and that I may carry out your will perfectly. I recommend to you the souls in Purgatory, especially those who had the greatest devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I also recommend to you all poor sinners.

Finally, my dear Savior, I unite all my desires with the desires of your most loving Heart; and I offer them, thus united, to the Eternal Father, and beseech him, in your name and for love of you, to accept and grant them.

— St. Alphonsus Liguori

Prayer to St. John Paul II | Outside John Paul II Library

Translation from Official Vatican Prayer

Oh, St. John Paul, from the window of heaven, grant us your blessing! Bless the Church that you loved and served and guided, courageously leading it along the paths of the world in order to bring Jesus to everyone and everyone to Jesus. Bless the young, who were your great passion. Help them dream again, help them look up high again to find the light that illuminates the paths of life here on earth.

May you bless families, bless each family! You warned of Satan’s assault against this precious and indispensable divine spark that God lit on earth. St. John Paul, with your prayer, may you protect the family and every life that blossoms from the family.

Pray for the whole world, which is still marked by tensions, wars, and injustice. You tackled war by invoking dialogue and planting the seeds of love: pray for us so that we may be tireless sowers of peace.

Oh St. John Paul, from heaven’s window, where we see you next to Mary, send God’s blessing down upon us all.

Amen.
