How can I grow in Eucharistic devotion? Practically, what can I do?

First, simply tell Jesus that you want to spend more time with him in Eucharistic devotion. Ask him to help you do so.

Second, find a time in your schedule when you can stop by a parish to visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. It can be praying before the tabernacle in a church or in an Adoration chapel that has Perpetual Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Maybe you can make a quick visit for just a few minutes on your way to work or in between errands during the day. Maybe you can spend a longer period of time, such as a Holy Hour, once a week in his Eucharistic presence. Or perhaps you could go to a weekday Mass. Some Catholics even try to go to Mass every day.

Third, whenever you enter a church or chapel and are in the presence of the tabernacle containing the sacred Hosts, remember that you are entering holy ground. You are coming before Christ's Eucharistic Presence. God is there in the Blessed Sacrament. So take at least a moment to kneel in humble and reverent adoration before the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle (or before the monstrance if there is Exposition of the Eucharist). If you are only there for a few minutes, say a short prayer. You can simply tell Jesus you love him and that you are just stopping by to say a quick hello. If you  have more time, you can incorporate the various kinds of prayer, including adoration (praising and worshipping Jesus for who he is as God), thanksgiving ( expressing gratitude for his many blessings), contrition (telling Jesus you are sorry for your sins), intercession (prayers for other people), and petition (prayers for your own needs) .You can also spend time in prayerful   meditation   on  Scripture  or  another  spiritual book. Or you can simply sit quietly in his holy Presence.
