THE SACRED HEART BASILICA
IN MONTMARTRE
Anyone can come to take part
in this mission of adoration.
Lord,
who wished to stay present among us
through Your Holy Eucharist,
the mystery of your love,
we unite ourselves to all those
who come to adore You
in spirit and in truth.
Praying day and night, we would like
to offer our presence to Your Presence.
Allow us to listen to You in silence,
as You wish to reveal Yourself
to us in the secret of our hearts.
Help us to abandon ourselves to You:
may the praise and supplication,
and the confident gift of our lives
raise up from our hearts.
May Your Sacred Heart, source of all mercy,
establish our hearts in peace and inner joy.
May it strengthen our faith, renew our love,
and sustain our hope. Amen.
Come...
The Lord awaits you!
