Prayers for the Sick before the Blessed Sacrament

By Raphael Augustus of Monteverde

Praying for the sick before the Blessed Sacrament brings together two central realities of the faith: charity toward those who suffer and Eucharistic adoration. Prayers for the Sick before the Blessed Sacrament invites you to place pain, fragility, and hope directly before the living Christ, truly present in the Eucharist, to ask for healing, consolation, and strength with a trusting heart.

The Acts of the Apostles describe the life of the first Christian community immediately after the Resurrection of Christ. There appears the expression "the breaking of the bread," which tradition recognizes as the earliest form of the Mass. From the first century, Christians gathered to listen to the apostolic teaching, pray together, celebrate the Eucharist, and share with those in need; and that same community cared for the poor, widows, and the sick. For this reason, praying for the sick during the Eucharist and before the Blessed Sacrament is a tradition as ancient as Christianity itself.

This book draws on that millennial heritage to offer a collection of prayers especially intended to intercede for the sick before the Most Blessed Sacrament. It includes Scripture passages, spaces to write down intentions, and a healing novena before the Blessed Sacrament; a key resource for the Holy Hour, a visit to the tabernacle, or family prayer, ideal for those seeking to accompany illness with faith, inner peace, and hope.
