For Faith in the Real Presence
Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, You gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of Your suffering and death. May our worship of this sacrament of Your Body and Blood help us to experience the salvation You won for us and the peace of the kingdom where You live forever and ever. Amen.
Meditation
Jesus said, 'This is My Body...This is My Blood.' At the Last Supper, He gave us the gift of Himself in the Eucharist. The bread and wine truly become His Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity.
This is the great mystery of our faith. Jesus is truly, really, and substantially present in the Eucharist—not as a symbol, but in reality.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in the Eucharist. Increase my faith in this great mystery. Help me to approach You with reverence and love.

Anima Christi
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 one, protect me. At the hour of my death, call me. And close to You, bid me. That with Your saints, I may be praising You forever and ever. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
