O SAVING VICTIM (O Salutaria Hostia)
(all kneel)
(the
usual tune)
O Saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heav'n to man
below! Our foes press ON from ev'ry side; Thine aid supply, Thy strength
bestow. To Thy great name be endless praise. Immortal God head, ONE in Three; O
grant us END less length of days In our true NA tive land with Thee. Amen.
OFFERING OF THE HOUR
Priest and People: Adorable Savior, I Redeemer of the human
race, we believe that You are really and tru y present in the Blessed Sacrament
here before us. We desire to spend this hour of adoration and meditation in
offering You supreme honor and glory and in making some small atonement for
our sins and the sins of the world.
We desire also to spend this Holy Hour in thanking You for past favors
and graces. We wish to gain for ourselves and the holy souls in purgatory the
many indulgences attached to this devotion, and most fervently we implore You
to pour down Your blessings upon us and upon our children at home and in foreign
lands. O Jesus, while we are assembled
here in Your adorable presence, we are resolved to forget our business, our
cares and anxieties; to forget the world and all its false pleasures, and to
give all our thoughts entirely to You alone, in rendering You supreme homage
and adoration, and in contemplating Your lonely life in our tabernacles. Amen.
Priest: O Lord
Jesus Christ, who has promised, that wherever two or three shall be gathered
together in Your Name You will be there in the midst of them, look down with
love and compassion upon these Your children who are assembled before You, to
honor Your Sacred Heart and to make It known and loved by all. Come into the
midst of us, O sweet Jesus; fill our hearts. with your blessings and inflame
them with Your love.
Priest: O Jesus;
answer our petitions as we kneel before You.
People: O Heart of
Jesus, hear and grant our prayers.
O Heart of Love, I place all my trust in You. I fear all
things from my own weakness, but I hope for all things from Your goodness.
Priest and People:
O Lord Jesus Christ, who has said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and
you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you"; grant, we beseech
You, to us who ask the grace of Your most divine love, that with all our
hearts, words and works, we may love You, and never cease to praise You, who
live and reign world without end. Amen.
Priest: O Jesus,
answer our petitions as we kneel before You.
People: O Heart of
Jesus, hear and grant our prayers.
O Heart of Love, place all my trust in You; fear all things
from my own weakness, but hope for all things from Your goodness.
Priest and People:
O loving Savior, infinitely generous,
seeking only our interests, from Your
Sacred Heart came those words of pleading love: “Come to Me all you that labor
and are burdened and will refresh you”. Relying on this promise of Your
infinite charity, we come to You, and in the lowliness of our hearts earnestly
beg You to grant us the favor we ask in
this Holy Hour. (Request to be made in
silence.) But if what we ask is not for the glory of God or the salvation of our souls, do grant us
what is most conducive to both. Amen.
Priest: O Jesus,
answer our petitions as we kneel before You.
People: O Heart of
Jesus, hear and grant our prayers.
O Heart of Love, place all my trust in You; fear all things
from my own weakness, but hope for all things from Your goodness.

Priest and People:
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love
You above all things, and desire to receive You into my soul. Since cannot now
receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace
You as if You were already there, and
unite myself wholly to You; never
permit me to be separated from you.
TO JESUS' HEART ALL BURNING (all Stand)
To Jesus' Heart all burning
With fervent love for men.
My heart with fondest yearning
Shall raise the joyful strain.
While ages course along
Blest be with loudest song.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By every heart and tongue.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By every heart and tongue.
O Heart for sinner broken
By sheer excess of love.
Be Thou my pledge and token
Of endless joys above.

By every heart and tongue.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By every heart and tongue.
SECOND QUARTER (all kneel)
Priest and People:
O Divine Jesus, lonely tonight in so
many tabernacles, without visitor or
worshipper, I offer You my poor but loving heart. May its every beating be a
prayer of love for You. You are ever watching under the sacramental veil; in Your love You never sleep and are never
weary of Your vigil for sinners. O good Jesus, love You; am truly sorry for
having offended You. O lonely Jesus, may my heart be a lamp, the light of
which shall burn and beam for You alone. Bless me, O Jesus, come spiritually into my soul and fill my heart with love far You. Make me,
Jesus, wholly Yours. Take this wayward heart of mine. Guide it through this
valley of tears. Heart of Jesus, hear me. When draw my parting breath, when my
eyes shall close in death, then, sweet
Jesus, be near me. O Heart of Jesus, hear me. Watch, Sacramental Sentinel,
watch for the weary world for the erring
soul, and for Your poor lonely child.
PRAYER TO THE HEART OF JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
Priest and People:
O Sweet Jesus, let me lay at Your Sacred feet
my daily share of joys, struggles and sorrows, my hopes and fears; and in the stillness of Your
sanctuary, do tenderly gather them into Your Sacred Heart. Solace my doubts,
calm my fears, and grant that day by day I may become more united to You.
O Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, overflowing with gentleness, tenderness and
charity, bury in the abyss of Your mercy
all my iniquities and all my negligences. I offer You my labors and sufferings
my sorrows and my miseries; I recommend
to You my life and my death.
