  PRAYER FOR OUR ADORATION CHAPEL PROJECT

LL ord, we humbly beseech You that You bless our Adoration Chapel project as we seek to build this chapel for the honor and glory of You

alone. Look favorably upon us, your children. Keep all the workers safe and secure throughout this project and may each step progress with your blessing.

OO Lord, we pray that this chapel will be a visible sign to a fallen world of Your presence among men, a place where souls will come to

behold the Lamb of God and adore His real presence in the Holy Eucha-rist. May those souls find a heaven from the turmoil of the world. May hungry souls come to be fed the Bread of Life. May weary and burdened souls come to find rest and peace.

RR elying solely on Your loving Providence, we seek only to build this chapel according to Your Will, and we beg for your blessing and

continual assistance so that it may be accomplished.

May our Patroness, Our Mother of Perpetual Help intercede for us! Our Lady of the Eucharist pray for us! Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us!

ORACIÓN POR NUESTRO

PROYECTO DE CAPILLA DE ADORACIÓN

SS eñor, humildemente te suplicamos que bendigas nuestro proyecto de la Capilla de Adoración mientras procuramos edificar esta capilla

para el honor y la gloria de Ti solamente. Míranos, tus hijos, favorable-mente. Mantiene a todos los trabajadores seguros durante todo este proyecto y que cada paso progrese con tu bendición.

OO h Señor, oramos para que esta capilla sea un signo visible para un mundo caído de tu presencia entre hombres, un lugar donde las

almas vengan a contemplar al Cordero de Dios y a adorar Su presencia real en la Santa Eucaristía. Que esas almas encuentren aquí un cielo de la agitación del mundo. Que las almas hambrientas vengan a ser ali-mentadas con el Pan de Vida. Que las almas cansadas y agobiadas vengan a encontrar descanso y paz.

CC onfiando únicamente en Tu amorosa Providencia, sólo buscamos construir esta capilla de acuerdo con Tu Voluntad, y suplicamos Tu

bendición y ayuda continua para que se pueda lograr.

¡Que nuestra Patrona, Nuestra Madre del Perpetuo Socorro interceda por nosotros!

¡Nuestra Señora de la Eucaristía ruega por nosotros!

¡Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe ruega por nosotros!
