Prayer for the Spread of Perpetual Adoration

Heavenly Father, increase our faith in the Real Presence of Your Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. We are obliged to adore Him, to give Him thanks and to make reparation for sins. We need your peace in our hearts and among nations. We need conversion from our sins and the mercy of Your forgiveness. May we obtain this through prayer and our union with the Eucharistic Lord. Please send down the Holy Spirit upon all peoples to give them the love, courage, strength and willingness to respond to the invitation to Eucharistic Adoration. We beseech You to spread Perpetual Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament in parishes around the world. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen

Wonderful prayer. I love it! I just got back from two hours at Adoration followed by Mass. It's getting so one hour just isn't enough, and since I have no strong obligations in other directions usually, I'm going to try hard to keep my sloth at bay and continue on Adoring. What a gift!!!

Also, I have always had a very strong devotion to praying for the dead, and have found images of purgatory to really take me away someplace else, and today I was reading about visions to St. Marie de St. Pierre in regard to The Holy Face of Jesus, and lo and behold, she was given a vision of Hell and the multitude of souls falling in, and was invited to pray for poor sinners, on Dec. 21, 1846. My birthday is Dec. 21, a few years later:). I thought it a signal grace.

And since this thread is on an antidote to abortion via Perpetual Adoration, I’ll add that St. Marie de St. Pierre was told by Our Lord (March 16, 1844), “Oh if you only knew what great merit you acquire by saying even once, ‘Admirable is the Name of God,’ in the spirit of reparation of blasphemy.” 3-16-78 is when mlizzy (Mary Elizabeth) went to heaven, eventually leaving her mother a sorrowful, regretful, tortured mess for decades. In the dictionary, it states blasphemy is a contemptuous or profane act. I think abortion would fit that description quite well. Another type of signal grace? for me (and mlizzy!) to keep fighting for the unborn.

More from Fr. John:

"In a society such as ours that rejects metaphysics, glorifies moral relativism, promotes blatant materialism, and whose academics are busy deconstructing the truth, it should not surprise us that an enormous spiritual void has emerged, which many desperately try to fill with frenetic consumerism, joyless hedonism, or bogus spirituality." --Father John A. Hardon, S.J.
