Texte de la prière
Jesus, my Lord and my God, I believe that you are present here in the Blessed Sacrament. I offer you my worship and love. You know my joys, my struggles and the needs I cannot express. Draw me close to your heart. Give peace to the troubled, hope to the weary and strength to those who serve. Help me listen more deeply than I speak. May this time with you renew my faith and make me a bearer of your love in the world. Amen.
