Eucharistic adoration
The Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)
Soul of Christ,
sanctify me.
Body of Christ,
save me.
Blood of Christ,
inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ,
wash me.
Passion of Christ,
strengthen me.
O good Jesus,
hear me.
Within Your wounds
hide me.
Separated from You,
let me never be.
From the evil Enemy,
protect me.
At the hour of my death,
call me.
And bid me come to You,
That with Your saints I may praise You
Forever and ever. Amen.

Eucharistic Adoration offers a profound encounter with Jesus Christ, present in the Blessed Sacrament. Through quiet reflection, we deepen our relationship with Christ, contemplating His sacrifice and presence. The tradition, grounded in the Mass, extends to the Rite of Exposition and Benediction, where faithful adore the Eucharist and receive blessings from it. Eucharistic Adoration sustains both individual faith and community, nurturing the Church’s mission of holiness and unity.
During Holy Hours, Catholics are invited to pray for specific intentions like peace, vocations, and life, opening their hearts to the transformative grace of the Eucharist.

Pope John Paul II’s encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia describes the Eucharist as the “source and summit of the Christian life,” a reality that brings Christ’s sacrifice into every era, including our own. He reminds the faithful that each celebration of the Eucharist is a re-presentation of Christ’s one eternal sacrifice, providing what St. Ignatius of Antioch calls the “medicine of immortality” for all who partake. Through Adoration, believers deepen their relationship with Christ, whom they not only receive but who abides within them, uniting and building up the Church.
In Mysterium Fidei, Pope Paul VI underscores the mystery of the Real Presence, affirming that the Eucharist is not merely symbolic but a profound encounter with Christ Himself. This presence is so significant that the Church maintains specific language and gestures to preserve reverence, indicating its unchanging truth across cultures and time. Adoration invites the faithful into silent contemplation of this mystery, participating in the unbroken communion established by Christ
Pope Leo XIII in Mirae Caritatis also encourages Adoration as a response to the deep love Jesus shows in the Eucharist. He emphasizes the Eucharist as the ultimate sign of charity, not just a means of worship but an expression of divine love meant to transform the faithful in their daily lives.
