Over at Loreto Cottage, we are beginning the Novena to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament in advance of her feast. In case you would like to join us, I will be posting the prayers here this week. Please pray for me, and I will be sure to pray for all of you!
FIRST DAY
THE TITLE OF OUR LADY OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT
O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine.
Blessed be the holy and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God!
O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of Jesus and our tender Mother, we invoke thee under the title of Our Lady of the
Most Blessed Sacrament, because thou art the Mother of the Savior who lives in the Eucharist, and because it
was from thee that He took the Flesh and Blood with which He there feeds us! We invoke thee under that title
because, again, thou art the sovereign dispensatrix of all graces and, consequently, of those contained in the
august Eucharist, also, because thou didst first fulfill the duties of the Eucharistic life, teaching us by thy example
how to assist properly at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, how to communicate worthily, and how to visit frequently
and piously the Most Blessed Sacrament.
V. Pray for us, O Virgin Immaculate, Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. R. That the Eucharistic Kingdom of
Jesus Christ may come among us!
Let us pray,
Lord Jesus Christ, our King and our God, who having become Man to make us sharers in Thy Divinity, art truly
our Bread in the adorable Eucharist, grant, we beseech Thee, that in venerating so great a Mystery, we may be
mindful of the most sweet Virgin Mary, of whom Thou didst will to be conceived by the operation of the Holy Ghost!
Grant, also that we may imitate the worship that she rendered while on earth to this most august Sacrament, so
we may behold Thy Eucharistic Kingdom spread and flourish throughout the whole world! O Thou who livest and
reignest forever and ever! Amen.
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT
O Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the glory of Christians, the joy of the universal Church,
and the hope of the world, pray for us. Kindle in all the faithful a lively devotion to the most Holy Eucharist, so that
they may be worthy to receive Holy Communion every day. Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us.
Let us with Mary Immaculate adore, thank, supplicate, and console the most sacred and beloved Eucharistic Heart
of Jesus.
Prayers from Novena Calendar.
