Say five times <strong>the</strong> Our Fa<strong>the</strong>r and Ha3 Mary and Glory<br />

%or <strong>the</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> Church and <strong>the</strong> intentions of <strong>the</strong> Holy<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r. His Holiness Pope Pius IX, July 31, 18 8, confirmed<br />

anew <strong>the</strong> plenary indulgence granted by &lement<br />

VIII and Benedict XIV, and confirmed by Pius VII and<br />

Leo XII, to those who shall say this prayer with devotion<br />

before an image or picture of our crucified Redeemer.<br />

AVING received Jesus into your heart at holy comrnunion,<br />

spend some time in simple recollection, without<br />

vocal prayers. Adore Him in silence; sit like Magdalen<br />

in humble, adoring love at His feet; gaze upon Him<br />

like Zaccheus, love Him in mute worship, like Mary, His<br />

Mo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

Call Him your King, <strong>the</strong> Spouse of your soul. Say<br />

to Him: "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth." OKer<br />

ourself to Him as His servant, ready to execute His will.<br />

gind your heart to His footstool, that it may wander no<br />

more, or ra<strong>the</strong>r, put it under His feet, that He may crush<br />

out its self-love and pride.<br />

While your soul remains in recollection, in <strong>the</strong> hushed<br />

calm of His holy presence, do not seek to disturb it. It<br />

is <strong>the</strong> sleep of <strong>the</strong> soul upon <strong>the</strong> breast of Jesus, and this<br />

grace, which streng<strong>the</strong>ns and unites it to Our Lord, will be<br />

more profitable than any o<strong>the</strong>r exercise.<br />

The first state having passed, we may <strong>the</strong>n proceed to<br />

acts of thanksgiving, and <strong>the</strong>.exercise of <strong>the</strong> Four Ends of<br />

Sacrifice may prove usefuh Z'ZZ.:<br />
