Loving You, Is Both Able and Willing to Help and Comfort

O Lord, for my past indifference to Thy love. Heart of Jesus, inflamed with love of us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee. Indulgence of xoo days. — Leo XIII, June 16, 1893* $t tip Htytit SItuton Think of Jesus taken and bound with cords, and say: AY those bonds which confined Thy hands burst the fetters of my sins, and restore me to the sweet liberty of Thy children ! I cast myself at Thy sacred feet, O my King and my God; and since Thou hast undergone the humiliation of allowing Thyself to be bound by Thy creatures, may I place my happiness in sharing Thy humili- ations, and carrying Thy cross. «t tfjc Collect* aOLL. My Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst descend from heaven, from the bosom of the Digitized by In Honor of Our Lord and Our Lady 379 Father, and didst shed Thy precious Wood for the remission of our sins, we numbly beseech Thee that, placed at Thy right hand on the day of judg- ment, we may be found worthy to hear these words: Come, ye blessed. Amen
