This is a guided prayer session read from the Catholic Truth Society's 'A Quarter Hour Before the Blessed Sacrament'. Many churches may be closed to the public at the moment or you may be unable to leave the house but this is still a great guide to spending 15 minutes listening to what Jesus has to say to you and what you have to say to Him.

This leaflet can also be bought on the CTS website (currently 25 leaflets for £6.95) and would make lovely gifts to easily put in a greetings card: https://www.ctsbooks.org/product/a-quarter-hour-before-the-blessed-sacrament/

Luke 18:35-43 - 'Son of David, have pity on me'.
