1. To Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

O Most Sweet Jesus, You delight in being with the children of men and being the food of their souls. Grant we beseech You that through the merits of St. John Bosco who did so much to spread the love of frequent union with You in the Sacrament of Your Love among youth and Christian peoples we may receive what we humbly implore with all the fervour of our souls.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

Hail Holy Queen...
