In the Name…
L: Let us praise the Lord
A: and give him thanks!
LET US PRAY:
L: Holy Spirit, you who reveal to us, help us to discover him in Eucharistic
presence;
Beneath the veil of the host, show us the powerful and generous Christ of
the Gospels;
Let us see the Good Shepherd who knows each one of us, watches over us
and calls us by name;
Allow us to listen to the incomparable Master who presents His doctrine and
wishes to enlighten us in all things.
A: Let us touch the Savior whose contact heals, and transforms bodies and
souls;
Let us recognize this friend, happy to live with us and share our human
existence;
Allow us to recognize the victim of Calvary who spares nothing of the gift of
Himself to obtain for us pardon and holiness.
Give us a profound attachment to Jesus in the Eucharist; that his ardent
desire to remain among us be met by our readiness to welcome Him.
L: Holy Virgin, you knew how to look at Jesus and penetrate the most
profound depth of his person;
Teach us to look at Him, to look at him at length and quietly, in the
tabernacle where he is present.
Teach us to listen in silence to the words which he speaks to us and establish
an intimate dialogue with him.
A: Let us see the marvels which he desires to work in the depths of our
souls.
Teach us to appreciate his closeness to us and the immeasurable friendship
he shows us.
Help us to respond to his love with all the fire of our being, and like you, to
immerse ourselves in a loving gaze on him.
You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and
ever,
A: Amen.

Reader: From the Gospel of John (14, 1-7)
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my
Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am
going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be
where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going”
Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we
know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my
Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
All; Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
(kneel)
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, you truly are the Way, which leads us to the Father. You are the
Truth, where we find all knowledge and wisdom we need to face every day’s
struggles. You are the Life, for without you we are nothing. We praise you
this night and thank you for the gift of your Eucharistic Presence.
You never leave us alone. You shared with us this sacred meal for us to
partake, and share with others, for our salvation. Transform us to your
image, and help us to live continually according to your law. May we
continuously show our love for the holy Eucharist, which is our way, truth
and life in our daily struggles until we come to see you in eternal glory.
Amen.
We shall spend this time for our personal prayer

Reader; From the Gospel of John.(15, 1-8)
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch
in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear he prunes so
that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I
spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear
fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless
you remain in me.
‘’I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he
will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not
remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such
branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in
me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given
you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing
yourselves to be my disciples.
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

(kneel)
Prayer:
We are truly connected to you, Lord Jesus. Like the vine and its branches, we
continually receive the grace and life from you alone. We especially
remember this in the Holy Eucharist. Your body is the food which nourishes
our spirit and makes us live more according to your will.
We pray, Jesus! Continue to nourish us in body and spirit through the Bread
of Life which you provide us in every Mass we attend. Enliven in us the
sacredness of this Sacrament that we may continuously live as what you will.
Amen
We shall spend this time for our personal prayer.

Reader: From the Gospel of John. (15, 9-17)
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If
you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed
my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that
my joy may be in you and that your may be complete. May command is this:
love each other as I have loved you. Grater love has no one than this, that he
lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I
command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know
his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I
learned from my father I have made know to you. You did not choose me,
but I choose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last.
Then the father will give you whatever you ask in my name. this is my
command: Love each other.”
The Gospel of the Lord
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
Reflection…
(kneel)
Prayer:
You loved us, Lord Jesus. You loved us until your death. You loved us as
friends. You loved us with an ultimate love. This is far greater than anything
we can feel or imagine!
You commanded us to extend the same love to others, without anything in
reserve. Your love remains with us in the Eucharist, this love we receive in
every Communion when we eat your precious Body and drink your sacred
Blood. This is the great manifesto of you love for us.
Teach us to show greater love for you in the Holy Sacrifice. Make us receive
you in a greater disposition, prepared and in the state of grace. Every time
we sin against you, help us to be sorry first for our iniquities before we
accept you in Communion. Make every moment a loving one with your
divine presence in us. And when the priest tells us, Ite, Missa Est, guide us as
we become a living Eucharist of love to our brothers and sister, even to the
point of offering our lives for you and for them. Amen.

Reader: From the Gospel of John. (15. 18-27)
“ If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged
to the world, it would love as you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to
the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world
hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than
his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they
obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way
because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me if I had not
come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they
have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my father.
But this is to fulfill what is written in their law: ‘ they hated me without
reason”.
“ When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the
Spirit of the truth who goes out from the father, he will testify about me.
And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
The Gospel of the Lord.
All:” Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
Reflection…
(Kneel)
Prayer:
Throughout the years, Lord Jesus, a lot of people showed their hatred
towards your Eucharistic presence. Sacrileges done inside and outside the
Church offended you so much. Many were led astray due to their false
interpretations of the Sacrament which you alone provide. This gave much
offense to your Eucharistic Presence, dear Lord.
Accept our sincere act of repentance for these and others wrong doings of
the world. Lord Jesus. We promise to express our deep concern and love for
this memorial of your saving work for us. This might lead us to become the
enemies of the world, but we know you’ll never leave us that you’ll provide
the Consoling Spirit that will make us energized and prepared to defend
your body precious Body in words and actions. Guide us, O lord. We depend
on your providence. Amen.

Reader: From the Gospel of John (17, 1-5)
Jesus lifted his eyes towards heaven and prayed: “ Father, the time has
come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him
authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have
gave him. Now this eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by
completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your
presence with glory I had with you before the world began”

Prayer:
Jesus we feel your great glory in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the
sacrament of “ Thanksgiving”. In your death and resurrection, you gave new

A: and give him thanks!
(sit)
Reader : From the Gospel of John. (17,6-19)
Jesus lifted his eyes toward heaven and prayed: “I have revealed you to
those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave
them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that
everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words
you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came
from you,and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them I am not
praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
All I have is yours, and you all have is mine. And glory has come to me
through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the
world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of
your name – the name you gave me – so that they maybe one as we are
one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that
name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to
destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world,
so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given
them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world
any more that I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of
the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not the
world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I
sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
Reflection …..
(kneel)
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, you are the eternal High Priest. In your sacrifice in Calvary, you
gave a perfect sacrifice which is sufficient for every time and place. Through
the hands of the priest, you continuously give yourself to us, and at the
same time offer yourself to the Father.
We now pray and offer to you all your priests who tirelessly give us your
Body and Blood in every Mass we attend. Unworthy as they may be keep
them pure and worthy in mind, word and deed for them to really celebrate
the Sacrament of Love in persona Christi Capitis. Deliver them from every
possible temptation, and may they and their ministry inspire others to live a
holy and pure life as you did here on Earth. Amen.

Reader : From the Gospel of John. (17, 6-19)
Jesus lifted his eyes to Heaven and prayed: “My prayer is not for them alone.
I pray also for those who believe in me through their message, that all of
them may be one, Father just as you are in me and I am in you. May they
also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have
given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the
world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved
me.
“Father, I want those you have given me to be with where I am, and to see
my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the
creation of the world. “Righteous Father, though the world does not know
you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you
known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love
you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, you are in the Father, just as he is in you. In the Holy Eucharist,
you continuously manifest your total unity with us. This one big grace that
no mere mortal can understand, except for those enlightened by your Word
and Grace.
We pray you, Lord! May we be one with you and the Father in every Mass
we participate. May we feel that we are never alone when we receive you
in Communion; that you dwell deep within us. Make us feel loved,
strengthened, sanctified. Never leave us after which, and guide us that you
may be manifested in us every time we communicate and work with others.
May we be Eucharistic People, a people of glory chosen for your service and
divine mission here in Earth. Amen.
