Yes, I Believe, and Adore

At the Consecration, make an act of faith of the real presence of your Saviour’s body and blood, soul and Divinity, under the sacramental veils. Offer your -whole self to him, and through him to his Father ; beg that your heart and soul may be hap- pily changed into him. At the Elevation, contemplate with the eyes of your soul your Saviour elevated upon the cross for you, bow down all the powers of your soul to adore him, and beg that he would draw all hearts to himself. 14 And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke : and gave to his dis- ciples, and said : Take ye, and eat : This is my body. And taking the chalice he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying : Drink ye all of this. For this is my blood of the new testament which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.” Matt. xxvi. 26—28. “ Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.” 1 Cor. xi. 27. , See also Mark xiv. 22—24; Luke xxii. 19, 20; John vi. 32, 35, 48, 52, 54. Paul, 1 Cor. x. 16—18; xi. 23, 24, 28, 29. Digitized by GoOgk DEVOTIONS FOR MASS. At the elevation of the sacred Host.

Hail, O Victim of Salvation ! Eter- nal King ! Incarnate Word ! sacrificed for me and all mankind !

Hail, precious body of the Son of God !

Hail, sacred flesh, torn with nails, pierced with a lance, and bleeding on a cross for us poor sinners !

O amazing goodness !

O infi- nite love !

O let that tender love plead now in my hehalf ; let all my iniquities be here effaced, and my name be written in the book of life ! I believe in thee ; I hope in thee ; I love thee. To thee be honour, praise, and glory, from all creatures, for ever and ever. Amen
