MUST now beg once more for Thy blessing, dear
Jesus, before my departure from this holy place,
where I have been blessed so abundantly this morning.
How delicious is the sweetness of this heavenly Bread,
which I have received in holy communion ! How delighthl
the peace, how perfect the tranquillity of a
soul that receives Thee after having deplored and
sincerely confessed her offenses l Be blessed a thousand
times, 0 my Jesus! When I was a sinner I was
miserable; but now not only do I enjoy the sweetest
tranquillity of soul, but it seems to me that I experience
a foretaste of the peace and bliss of paradise! It is,
indeed, most certain that my heart has been made for
Thee, my beloved Lord, and finds no joy but when it
reposes in Thee. I therefore give Thee thanks; I
firmly resolve to avoid sin and the occasions of sin;
I will dwell permanently in Thy divine Heart, whence
I expect the grace of loving Thee unto death.
HAT strength hast Thou not imparted to my soul,
Ter: good Lord, by means of this holy communion !
Oh! how much I need it. The road I have to traverse
is so difficult, that without Thee I should fear to venture
upon it. In a short time I shall return to my daily
occupations; I shall continue my life of yesterday; I
shall be exposed to the same temptations, I shall find
myself with my usual faults. But Jesus, Thou Who
didst help the saints, Thou hast come to me. Stay, oh,
stay with me, and do Thou by Thy grace, help me to
preserve in all my words and actions, modesty, meekness,
and humility. Help me to make Thy presence
