day work the greatest of all wonders, and will renew it even to the end of the world. Mary, Mother of God, and all ye blessed spirits who surround the throne of the Most High, holy men and women, saints of God, come ye and witness this miracle of love, which is the pledge of my salvation.

O my soul, enter into thyself; believe that Jesus Christ is really present in the Holy Eucharist. Yes, my God, this is Thy Body, this is Thy Blood: Thou sayest it; I am silent before Thee, I believe, I adore.

From the Consecration to the Pater.

O Jesus, Victim of Thy love for me, touch my heart; communicate to me at this moment all the ardent affections of the saints, who have loved Thee with the deepest tenderness, and all the burning adorations of the seraphim, whose blessed privilege it is always to behold Thee. Kindle in my heart the devouring fire that consumes Thine own, that, animated with Thy Spirit, I may live a life altogether new. O my Saviour, Thou standest ever before Thy Father, Thou showest Him the marks of Thy wounds and the opening in Thy heart, Thou ever livest to make intercession for us. And dost Thou not perform the same ministry upon this altar? Occupied wholly with my needs, Thou layest them before Thy Father, Thou presentest Thy heart to Him, to appease His anger and obtain His grace for me. O divine Intercessor, I lay all my petitions at Thy feet; vouchsafe to present them to Thy Father. I pray for the conversion of sinners, the perseverance of the just, and the tri

amph of our holy religion. O Jesus, who didst die for all men, bring back to the fold of Thy Church those who are separated from it. Enlighten all irfidels and heretics: bless the efforts of those who labor to convert them. Have pity on the souls of the faithful departed; remit their debts, and grant them a place of refreshment, light, and peace. I beseech Thee particularly to have compassion on N.

At the Pater.

O my Father, if a guilty child be permitted to call by this tender naine a God whom he hath so often offended, grant that I may ever labor for the glory of Thy holy name, that in all things I may do Thy will, and sigh unceasingly for Thy heavenly kingdom. Feed me with the bread of heaven, with which Thou feedest the beloved children of Thy Heart. Let the forgiveness which Thou grantedst to Thy murderers be my model in forgiving those who have injured me; give me superiors, both spiritual and temporal, that love Thee, and friends. that serve Thee faithfully; and if ever I expose myself to sin, do Thou deliver me from the danger, that I may never outrage Thy divine Heart.

At the Agnus Dei.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on me. Give me the peace which the world cannot give: peace with Thee, by a true reconciliation and a perfect submission to Thy will; peace with myself, by the subjection of my passions; peace with my neighbor, by the union of a sincere charity with all the children of

men. Give peace to the world, by the extinction of wars and divisions.

At Communion.

(If you intend to receive, say :)

Is there any love to be compared with Thine, my Saviour! It was on the cross that Thou offeredst Thy sacrifice, and it is in my heart that Thou desirest to consummate it. O my God, is it possible that Thou choosest for Thy sepulchre a heart so wretched! Alas, I am nothing but a sinner! Whence is it, Lord, that, for all my unworthiness, Thou desirest me to sit down at Thy table? Since thus it is, speak but the word, and my soul shall be healed; say to me, as Thou saidst to the sinful woman, "Thy sins are forgiven." Let me hear the words which Thou spokest to Zaccheus, “Make haste; for this day I must abide in thy house."

(If you are not to communicate.)

O my most loving Saviour, since I cannot have the happiness of receiving Thee this day, suffer me to gather up the precious crumbs that fall from Thy table, and to unite myself to Thy divine Heart by faith, hope, and charity. I confess I do not deserve the bread of the children; but I venture humbly to declare that, without Thee, my soul is dried up with thirst, and my heart cast down with faintness. Come, then, into me, O my divine Jesus! come into my mind, to illuminate it with Thy light; come into my heart, to enkindle in it the fire of Thy love, and to unite it so closely to Thy own, that it may be no more I that live, but Thou that livest in me, and reignest in me forever

Whilst the Priest is reading the Communion.

Learn of Me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you shall find rest to your souls: My voke is sweet, and My burden light.

During the Post-Communion.

Lord, we have had the happiness of being admitted into the sanctuary of Thy divine Heart; give us grace that we may abide therein forever; so that we may obtain the happiness which Thou hast prepared for Thy elect: through Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

At the Priest's Benediction.

O Heart of Jesus, I will not depart till thou hast blessed me. Bless me in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; and let thy blessing descend upon all those for whom I ought to pray.

At the last Gospel.

O Eternal Word, Who wast made man that Thou mightest make men the children of God, I thank Thee for this unspeakable grace. How great is the blessing I enjoy, not only of bearing the name, but of being indeed the child of God! Grant, O my Jesus, that I may preserve this blessed title, by faithfully imitating Thy Sacred Heart, and showing myself always filled with love for Thy holy law. If I remain faithful, Thou assurest me that I shall be co-heir with Thee, and shall enjoy the happiness which Thou hast purchased for us with Thy precious blood; and this I hope to obtain through Thy infinite mercy.

After Mass.

Grant

How great will be my happiness, O Lord, if, by assisting at this divine sacrifice, I have received all the graces which Thou grantest to those who bring thereto a lively faith and a pure heart! Accept, I beseech Thee, the reparation which I offer to Thy divine Majesty for all the sins of which I have been guilty before Thy holy altar. I am going to occupy myself with those duties in the world to which Thy providence hath called me. that I may have ever before my mind Thy patience in adversities, Thy obedience to Joseph and Mary, and Thy tender charity in bearing with all men. Strengthen me against all temptations; preserve me from all sin; make me firm and immovable in the faith; in fine, transform me into Thyself, O Jesus, so that Thy heart and my heart may be united in one, both in time and in eternity. Amen.
