Elect; Through Thy Son Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Grant, O my Jesus, that I may preserve this blessed title, by faithfully imitating thy Sacred Heart, and shewing myself always filled with love for thy holy law. If I remain faithful, thou assurest me that I shall be co-heir with theel, 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. How great will be my happiness, O Lord, if, by as- sisting 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.

Grant 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, trans- form me into thyself, O Jesus, so that thy Heart and my heart may be united in one, both in time and in eternity. Amen
