How to Pray the Chaplet of the Blessed Sacrament
This small Chaplet consists of a medal of the Blessed Sacrament (or a Crucifix) and 33 beads. The Blessed Sacrament medal is meant to be a reminder of His presence. (a Crucifix is a reminder of the price Jesus paid on the Cross for us). The symbolism behind the 33 beads is that they represent the 33 years of Christ's life on earth. If you enjoy beading this Chaplet is a fairly easy project to make all you need are: a Medal or Crucifix, 33 beads, and strong beading thread which can be found at any craft store. The project takes about 30minites to make. They can also be ordered online at many Catholic shops.
How To:
Hold the Chaplet in your hand (which ever hand is comfortable for you) and make the Sign of The Cross. To make the Sign of The Cross use your right hand, to touch your forehead at the mention of the Father; the lower middle of your chest at the mention of the Son; and the left shoulder on the word "Holy" and the right shoulder on the word "Spirit." This pattern forms a Cross.
The Sign of the Cross:
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
On the medal make a spiritual communion:
"As I cannot now receive Thee, my Jesus,
in Holy Communion, come,
spiritually into my heart,
and make it Thine own forever."
Move your fingers to the first bead, on each bead pray the prayer listed below, each time you finish a prayer move to the next bead.
On each bead pray:
"Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament on the altar have mercy on us"
Finish by giving thanks and making the Sign of the Cross.
Tip: Use your time in prayer to relax, clear your mind, and meditate on His presence.
History:
On May 30, 1911 the Chaplet of the Blessed Sacrament was approved by Pope Pius X. The Holy Father has granted to the entire world 300 days indulgence each time the above prayer is recited.

Post a CommentHello Helen, I found three medals that would look very nice on a Blessed Sacrament Chaplet. Many people choose to use a crucifix in place of the medal as crucifixes are more easy to come by. I hope you find these links helpful. Have a Blessed day.

You suggested making the Blessed Sacarament Chaplet. Where can I get the medal for the Blessed Sacrament Chaplet? I'm interested in buying it in bulk so I can make many chaplets as a Thank You for all who take part in Euchartistic Adoration in my parish.
