HOLY HOUR THREE (all kneel)

O Salutaris Hostia,

Da robur fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria:
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria. Amen

V. O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine,

R. All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be (3x)

All seated. Introduction

True devotion to the Sacred Heart is not devotion to either a statue

or picture, but, rather, devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The Blessed
Sacrament is the Sacred Heart of Jesus living and dwelling in our midst
and calling out each of us to come to Him. The message of the Sacred
Heart is that the Holy Eucharist is not a thing, but a person, the person of
our loving savior, whose divine heart is on fire with a deep, personal love
for each of us in the Blessed Sacrament.
One day a nun by the name of Sister Faustina Kowalska saw Jesus
in the Blessed Sacrament. When Jesus appeared to Sister Faustina, there
were pink and white rays of divine light emanating from his Sacred Heart
and radiating the entire chapel. Whenever someone came into the chapel
for a visit, these divine rays would go forth from Jesus and encircle the
whole world. Jesus explained that each person coming before Him in the
Blessed Sacrament represented all humanity and that every man, woman,
and child on the face of the earth experience a new effect of his goodness,
grace, love and mercy for each holy hour made in his divine presence.
This is how much Jesus appreciates your holy hour!

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John

(John6:35,54-58)
 Then Jesus said to them:”I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to
me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall not thirst. Amen,
amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink
his blood, you will not have life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks
my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my
flesh is true food, and my blood true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and
drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father has
sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the
same shall live because of me.”
The Gospel of the Lord.

We sit down for Meditation.

If only we know how much God loves us in the Blessed Sacrament,

we would die of happiness, for here He says to each of us: “I have loved
you with an everlasting love and constant is my affection for
you.”(Jer.30.3) “My delight is to dwell with you.” And so, “God loved the
world so much that He gave His only begotten son,”(Jn3.16) “the Word
became flesh and dwelt among us,”(Jn1.14). Jesus becoming one of us
and choosing the name ‘Emmanuel’, a name which means ‘God with us’,
because as much as we want to be with one another, infinitely more so
does Jesus want and desire to be close to us, which helps us to
understand why He did what He did on Holy Thursday night, the night
before He died, when His heart could not bear to be separated from us.
St. John tells us that Jesus showed us ‘the depth of His love’ by
instituting the Holy Eucharist, that He may come into our hearts in Holy
Communion and dwell with us forever in the most Blessed Sacrament,
the continuation of His Incarnation on earth, where the same Jesus who
was born 2000 years ago as a little babe in Bethlehem, who died on the
cross for our sins, and who rose again on Easter Sunday, is truly, really,
bodily, and personally present to us in this most Blessed Sacrament, as
absolute proof of His everlasting love and constant affection for each of
us, because the more you love someone the more you want to be with the
person whom you love. Jesus loves us so much that He never wants to
leave us. He stays with us , dwells with us, lives with us, seven days a
week, twenty-four hours a day in the Blessed Sacrament, “the new and
everlasting covenant”, in fulfilment of His promise: “know that I am with
you always, even to the end of the world” (Mt.28.20)

10-Minute Silence for Personal Reflection and Prayer

All kneel for our Communal Prayer (together)

Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God, personally present in
the Holy Eucharist, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Nourish my faith,
Jesus, with that mature faith that has power to conquer the world. You
describe your heart as gentle and humble where souls find rest and
refreshment in your grace-filled love for your yoke is easy, and your
burden light because you strengthen the weak with your very own power,
calling out to all who are weary: “Come to me... I will refresh you”. By
that holy love which inflames your Eucharistic Heart, help me, Jesus, to
keep all the commandments, for to believe in you is to be faithful to all
your teachings. To your perfect obedience to the Father’s will, Jesus, I
unite myself, that I may conquer all self-love and self-will. To your close
union with the Heavenly Father, Jesus, I unite myself. Amen.

We all stand to praise Jesus

in the Blessed Sacrament with a song.

Oh Sacred Heart, Oh love divine

Do keep us near to thee and may our hearts
be like to thine that we may always be.
//REF: Heart of Jesus hear
Oh heart of love divine
Listen to our prayer make us always thine.//
Oh temple pure, Oh house of gold
Our heaven here below
What sweet divine
How wealth untold
From thee to overflow. (REF.)

A Reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians
(1Cor11.23-29).

For the tradition I received from the Lord and also handed on to
you is that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread,
and after he had given thanks, he broke it, and he said, “This is my body,
which is for you; do this in remembrance of me. And in the same way,
with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my
blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.” Whenever
you eat this bread, then, and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the
Lord’s death until he comes. Therefore anyone who eats the bread or
drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily is answerable for the body and
blood of the Lord. Everyone is to examine himself and only then eat of
the bread or drink from the cup; because a person who eats and drinks
without recognizing the body is eating and drinking his own
condemnation.
The Word of the Lord.

We sit down for Meditation.

Reparation, or propitiation must follow thanksgiving. Consider the

ingratitude and indifference of most men and women toward the
Eucharistic Savior. So many men and women forget Jesus. Is He no
longer lovable? Has He stopped to love them? They no longer want to
love Him because he is too loving; they do away with the thought of His
Eucharistic presence, and even the very remembrance of Him in the
Blessed Sacrament annoys them; and all that because He has made
Himself too little, too humble, too much like nothingness.
There are some who, unable to ignore Him, do not hesitate to
insult, abuse, and deny such a good Father and kind Master so as to take
revenge on His excessive love. In order not to see this Sun of love, they
close their eyes. Among these ungrateful people are even some nuns and
priests.
This is your mission, O adorers: to weep spiritually at the feet of
Jesus because He is so despised by His own, crucified with so many
hearts, and abandoned in so many places; to console the Heart of this
tender Father whom the devil, his enemy, is trying to rob of his children.
Our mission is to console Him, and to beg forgiveness for ourselves and
for all humankind.
10-Minute Silence for Personal Reflection, Adoration and
Prayer

All kneel for Communal Prayer (together)

Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in you. Jesus when on the
eve of your passion you were praying in the garden, the sight of all the
sins of the world and the ingratitude of men and women who would turn
away from you, so tortured your heart that you fell in agony. So great
were the sufferings of your Heart that you began to sweat blood. You
begged your apostles to watch with you and keep you company in your
prayer, but they failed to do so, and you had to suffer your agony alone.
Behold now, Jesus, we come to you and we remain with you; we keep you
company in your agony and tell you of our love.

Invocations. Response: WE WILL CONSOLE YOU, O LORD

For your agony in the garden... (Response)

For your mortal sorrow...
For the anguish of your Heart...
For your grief at being abandoned by all...
For the jeers and mockeries of your enemies...
For the failure of your friends...
For all the sufferings of your passion...
For the forgetfulness and ingratitude of men and women...
For all blasphemies uttered against you...
For the way you are deserted in your Holy Tabernacle...
For the irreverence shown towards your sacred presence...
For the indifference shown towards your sacrament of love...
For the hatred of your enemies...
For the coldness of the greater part of your children...
For the infidelity of those who call themselves your friends...
For our own unfaithfulness and ingratitude...
For the incomprehensible hardness of our hearts...
For our long delay in loving you...
For our tepidity in your holy service...
For your bitter sadness at the loss of souls...
For your long waiting at the door of our hearts...
(together) Jesus, Divine Savior, grant us the grace to comfort your heart
broken by our ingratitude. Grant us to do this by a more sincere love for
you, a greater generosity in your service, a greater faithfulness in carrying
out your great commandment, the commandment of loving God with our
whole heart, our whole mind, our whole soul, and with all our strength
and the commandment of loving our neighbour as you love him, you who
live and reign forever and ever. Amen.

Be seated for a period of Personal Prayer of Thanksgiving.

All stand for our Communal Thanksgiving Prayer (together)

It is good to give thanks to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
To make music to Your name, O most High,
To proclaim your love in the morning
And your truth in the watches of the night,
On a ten-stringed lyre and lute,
With the murmuring sound of the harp.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Your deeds, O Lord, have made me glad;
For the work of Your hands I shout with joy.
O Lord, how great are your works
How deep are your designs
The foolish man cannot know this.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Though the wicked spring up like grass
And all who do evil thrive:
They are doomed to be eternally destroyed.
But you, Lord, are eternally on high.
See how your enemies perish;
All doers of evil are scattered.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

You anoint me with the purest oil.
My eyes looked in triumph on my foes;
My ears heard gladly of their fall.
The just will flourish like the palm-tree
And grow like a Lebanon cedar.
 It is good to give thanks to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
Planted in the House of the Lord
They will flourish in the courts of the Lord,
Still bearing fruit when they are old,
Still full of sap, still green,
To proclaim that the Lord is just;
In Him, my rock, there is no wrong.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
