Devotion to Jesus
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Eucharistic Adoration
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in me and I live in him. John 6:56
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, "This is My Body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My Blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 1 Cor 11:23-25
The cup of blessings which we bless, is it not a participation in the Blood of Christ? The Bread which we break, is it not a participation in the Body of Christ? Because there is one Bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one Bread. 1 Cor 10: 16-17

Savior.org's mission is that of increasing awareness and devotion to our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. We also seek to bring the live image of His living Presence to the homebound, the workplace, and to remote areas around the world.
Acts of Adoration and Gratitude
O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art really and corporally present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. I adore Thee here present from the very depths of my heart, and I worship Thy sacred presence with all possible humility. O my soul, what joy to have Jesus Christ always with us, and to be able to speak to Him, heart to heart, with all confidence. Grant, O Lord, that I, having adored Thy divine Majesty here on earth in this wonderful Sacrament, may be able to adore It eternally in heaven. Amen.
O Sacrament most holy!
O Sacrament Divine!
All Praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.
Exposition
O Salutaris Hostia
O salutaris Hostia
Quae caeli pandis ostium.
Bella premunt hostilia;
Da robur fer auxilium.

Nobis donet in patria. Amen.
O Saving Victim
O Saving victim opening wide
The gate of heav’n to man below.
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
To Thy great name be endless praise
Immortal God head, One in Three;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee. Amen.
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui; Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui;
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque,
Laus et iubilatio;
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

Reposition
Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
Holy God, we praise Thy name!
Lord of all, we bow before Thee;
All on earth Thy scepter claim,
All in heav’n above adore Thee;
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
Hark! the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and Seraphim
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the Heav’ns with sweet
accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord.
Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit,
Three we name Thee,
While in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim Thee,
And adoring bend the Knee,
While we own the mystery. Amen
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
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.
Amen.
Eucharistic Prayer
by St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
O Blessed Host, in golden chalice enclosed for me, that through the vast wilderness of exile I may pass - pure, immaculate, undefiled; Oh, grant that through the power of Your love this might come to be.
O Blessed Host, take up Your dwelling within my soul, O Thou my heart's purest love! With Your brilliance the darkenss dispel. Refuse not Your grace to a humble heart. O Blessed Host, enchantment of all heaven, though your beatuy be veiled and captured in a crub of bread, strong faith tears away that veil. Amen.

O Blessed Host, I trust in You when my heart is about to tremble and mortal sweat moistens my brow.
O Blessed Host, I trust in You when everything conspires against me and black despair creeps into my soul.
O Blessed Host, I trust in You when my eyes will begin to grow dim to all temporal things and, for the first time, my spirit will behold the unknown worlds.
