Graces Thou Hast Given Me, and Especially for

BLESSED SACRAMENT. haying given me thyself in this adorable sacrament, for having given me Mary, thy most holy Mother, as my advocate, and for having called me to visit thee in this church.* I salute thy most loving heart, and I do so for three ends ; first, in thanksgiving for this great gift ; secondly, to atone for all the in- sults thou hast received in this wonderful sacrament from thy enemies ; thirdly, to adore thee in all those places where, thus veiled in the most holy sacrament, thou art least re- vered, and most abandoned. My Jesus, I love thee with my whole heart ; I am sorry that I have hitherto so often offended thy infinite goodness ; with the help of thy grace, I re- solve to displease thee no more ; and unworthy as I am, I now consecrate myself wholly to thee ; I renounce and give to thee my will, my affections, my desires, and all that is mine. Henceforward do with me, and all that be- longs to me, whatsoever thou pleasest ; I ask nothing but thy holy love, final perseverance, and a perfect fulfilment of thy will. I re- commend to thee the 60uls in purgatory, especially those who were most devout to this adorable sacrament, and to the blessed Virgin. I also recommend all poor sinners to thy mercy ; and, finally, I unite to thy tender and loving heart all the sentiments and affections of my own; offering them to the Eternal Father, and beseeching him to aceept them for the love of thee. Amen
