The Eucharistic hour begins with the following prayer: Prayer to Jesus Christ
Lord Jesus, we are
here, gathered around you. We are overwhelmed by the pain
that our sins and the sins of everyone in the
world have caused you. We ask you to purify our
hearts. Come and stay with us, Lord. Teach us the
truth of your Gospel and show us our mission in
life so that, in union with you through sanctifying grace,
we can please you in all we do and be
effective apostles of your Kingdom in the world.
When you make the Eucharistic hour with your team you
pray the rosary followed by a Gospel reading and commentary
by one of the participants. When on your own you
pray the rosary and then read a Gospel passage and
reflect on it or contemplate it.
