Answer
Answer
There is a "rosary" or beads devoted to prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. These consist of a medal of the Blessed Sacrament, thirty-three beads, recalling the alleged thirty-three years of Christ's life on earth. On a medal, one makes a spiritual communion, saying the following:
As I cannot now receive You, my Jesus, in Holy Communion, come spiritually into my heart and make it Your own forever.
On each of the rosary-type beads, one says:
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, have mercy on us!
