With Thee in Thine

O merciful J esus ! ever present on our al- tars, and with a heart open to receive all who labour and are burthened !

O adorable Heart of Jesus, source of true contrition, impart to our hearts the true spirit of penance, and to our eyes a fountain of tears, that we may bewail our sins and the sins of the world. Pardon, Divine Jesus, all the injuries and outrages done to thee in the course of thy holy life and bitter passion. Pardon all the im- Eieties, irreverences, and sacrileges which ave been committed against thee m the holy sacrament of the eucharist, since its institu- tion. Graciously receive the small tribute of our sincere repentance, as an agreeable offer- ing in thy sight, and in requital for the benefits that we daily receive from the altar, where thou art a living and a continual sacri- fice, and in union with that bloody holocaust thou didst present to thy eternal Father on Mount Calvary. Sweet Jesus, give thy blessing to the ardent desire we now entertain, and the holy reso- lution we have taken of ever loving and adoring thee with our whole mind, and with our whole heart, in the sacrament of thy love; thus to repair, by a true conversion of heart, and a zeal for thy glory, our past negligence and infidelity. Be thou, O adorable Heart, who knowcst the clay of which we are formed be thou our Mediator with thy heavenly THE JESUS PSALTER. 223 Father, whom, we have so grievously offended ; strengthen our weakness, confirm our resolu- tion, and with thy charity, humility, meek- ness, and patience, cover the multitude of our iniquities. Be thou our support, our refuge, and our strength, that nothing henceforward, in life or death, may separate us from thee. Amen
