Prayer Before the Blessed Sacrament

One of the traditions of the Catholic Church is that each month is dedicated to a special and particular devotion. As we have just celebrated the passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as April is the month dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament, I thought it fitting to offer this prayer of St. Francis for our reflection this month. It is:



Saint Francis’ Prayer Before the Blessed Sacrament



We adore You,O Lord Jesus Christ,

in this Church and all the Churches of the world,

and we bless You,

because by Your holy Cross

You have redeemed the world.



Amen.
