As this visit of adoration closes, O
Jesus, I renew my faith and trust in You. I am refreshed after these moments
with You, and I count myself among a privileged number, even as Your disciples
were, who shared Your actual presence.

Realizing that my visit to You is of
little avail unless I try to live a better life and set a better example, I am
resolved to go forth again to my duties and my concerns with a renewed spirit
of perseverance and good will. In my daily life I will try to love and serve
God well, and love my neighbor also, for these two things go together. I will
try to be a true disciple, indeed. Help me, 0 Jesus, in this my resolution.
Bless me, dear Lord, before I go. And
bless not me alone, 0 Lord, but all as well who are here present, and all who
could not come, especially the sick and the dying. Bless our homes and all the
children there. Bless all our life and the hour of our death.
(John J. Cardinal Carberry from Reflections and Prayers for Visits with our Eucharistic Lord)
