This prayer before the Blessed Sacrament by St. Alphonsus Liguori, which truly reflects this great saint’s devotion to our Lord, is a moving and fitting way to begin a visit of adoration and meditation with our Lord there.

It came from his first book, published in 1745, entitled Visits to the Blessed Sacrament. It is still in print today, along with his other classics like The Glories of Mary, a stirring and highly informative series of essays and meditations devoted to our Blessed Mother.

In St. Alphonsus Liguori's prayer before the Blessed Sacrament we are making reparation not only for the sins of others, but for our own as well. St. Alphonsus also inspires us here to strive to carry out God’s will “perfectly.” (As we say in the Lord's Prayer,“Thy will be done!”) He once wrote that “he who unites his will to God’s experiences a full and lasting joy.” This ties in nicely with the popular saying “let go and let God.”
