Marie Paul Curley, FSP, has compiled the perfect pocket-sized book of prayers to enhance your experiences in Eucharistic Adoration.

Essential Eucharistic Adoration Prayers include the following sections: biblical prayers, prayers of adoration, prayers of praise and thanksgiving, prayers of repentance and reparation, prayers of intercession and petition in adoration with Mary, and Benediction. These sections include everything one might need, including stations of the cross and the mysteries of the rosary.

In the weeks I spent in eucharistic adoration with this book, preparing to write this review, I particularly liked the biblical prayers. It includes Psalms 63, which says, “For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.”  This book of prayers is just that: help guide you to a fruitful adoration.

I often participate in the sacrament of reconciliation before Eucharistic adoration and appreciate the many prayers of reparation and repentance.  I found the prayer, “To Jesus, Good Shepard,” especially beautiful and found the words: “Recall us to your way. Sustain us when we waver, strengthen us when we are weak,” very healing.

There is vast content within the pages of this book, but it is still nearly as small as my phone.  It can easily accompany me anywhere in my purse or pocket. I give Essential Eucharistic Adoration Prayers a 10 out of 10 and plan to keep in with me in adoration, reconciliation, stations, and when I’m on the go for added prayer time throughout my day.
