Does anyone have any references to the origin of the following prayer? I have included only the first few lines. Here is a link to the full prayer: www.sldm.org/PrayersLitanies/VisitBlessedSacrament.htm

Thanks!
PeteB

To please Me, dear child, it is not necessary to know much; all that is required is to love Me much, to be deeply sorry for ever having offended Me and desirous of being every faithful to Me in the future. (Pause)

Speak to Me now as you would to your dearest friend. Tell Me all that now fills your mind and heart. Are there any you wish to commend to Me? Tell Me their names, and tell Me what you would wish Me to do for them. Do not fear, ask for much; I love generous hearts, which, forgetting themselves, wish well to others.
 
During Adoration on Friday at my local Catholic Church they have a table set up with many prayers for people to use and meditate with. One is a card called, “A Meditation Before the Blessed Sacrament.”

The prayer inside is almost exactly like the one you referred to but the words are a bit different. Their is no mention of who wrote it but just an address for more copies.

The prayer is very very beautiful and thought provoking. I see many in the Church using it during Adoration. Sorry I couldn’t help with the origin.

“Oh My Jesus, Forget and forgive what I have been.”
 
Pete, thank you so much for posting the link to this wonderful prayer! I once found a tiny leaflet with this in it, from the Manresa Retreat House in Maryland, published many years ago. It did not have any attribution, however. It’s funny, I was just thinking about this prayer the other day, wondering where I put my copy of it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

Kyenta,

Thanks for the reply. I too first saw the prayer at our church. But there was no address. If you would be so kind as to jot down the address when you next see the prayer card at your church, perhaps you can forward it?

Merciful Father, I offer You the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ for those in agony today.
AMEN
 
Kyenta,

Thanks alot for the address! I’m really interested in learning where this prayer originated. I’ll let you know if I find out anything.

Hello everyone,. I am also looking for this prayer pamplet and wrote to kenner La, but it is not longer there. Seems like this is the only address I have ever found, My cousin gave me a xerox copy of the original, but I would sure like to have a copy of an original pamphlet for my prayer book

Also on my copy of the ‘Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament’ it says: with ecclesiastial approval’ then the Kenner LA address.
I don’t know exactly what the ‘with ecclesiastial approval’ means, but it looks like that card should be available somewhere, maybe some place will start printing them again???
 
Joe Murray, Coon Rapids, MN here also asking a question on the Blessed Sacrament Prayer. LIke to have a response esp. from anyone in the Kenner LA 70064 or surrounding area: This prayer was printed at Kenner LA. Who wrote prayer or does anyone have the history of the ‘Blessed Sacramen Prayer’ ? Would also like an original phamplet.

If anyone has the answer on the how and when the prayer was composed or how to get an original copy, OR the currant address of the place in Kenner, please call me:

763-767-1830

Thank you
