The music should then become more solemn and prayerful to signal that the Eucharist is about to be exposed. When Adoration begins, ensure the reverence due in Christ’s real presence. Distribute a copy of the “Commitment Prayer” to each candidate and allow time to read it. One by one, when each candidate is ready, have him or her move closer to the monstrance and silently pray the “Commitment Prayer.” After the candidate’s silent personal prayer, he or she should move to one of the retreat team leaders, who will pray with the candidate for grace to remain faithful to his or her commitment, as well as for anything else the candidate wishes to pray for.

I want to know what it means to live life abundantly. Teach me what it means to be a Christian. Teach me how to follow you. I ask you to forgive me and to free me from the sins that keep me from living the life that you have for me. I commit myself to you. Jesus, I trust in you. Amen.
