Introductory Prayer:

Lord, this time of prayer should be everything for me: the moment that I long for, the food that sustains me, the comfort that strengthens me. I know that you are at work in me even when I don’t feel you and don’t even seem able to perceive your presence. I want to pray fervently and from the heart, not just with my mind.

Petition:

Lord, help me to touch you in this moment of prayer. Help me to touch you in the Eucharist so that your presence will transform me.
