396 Holy Communzon Thou art the divine Lover of souls. Thou willest not the death of the sinner, but that he may be converted and live. "Behold, I stand at the gate and knock. If any man shalk hear hly voice, and open to Me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me" (Apoc. iii. 20). Confidently, then, 0 Lord, yet humbly and contritely will I approach Thy Holy Table to he refreshed and strengthened by the Food of angels, the Bread of heaven, which Thou givest us. Endeavor to strengthen your soul more and more by exciting yourself to hearty contrition at the sight of so much goodness and love. - "Forgive me, 0 my good Master 1 I detest all my sins . . . for they have wounded Thy loving Heart. Never again will I offend Thee. Lord, I am truly sorry that I have sinned, because Thou art infinitely good and sin displeases Thee." Generous love. -Like that of Jesus - He gives you all . . . all . . . in an ineffable union . . . His &sh to purify yours, His soul to impregnate yours with His spirit of abnegation and contempt of the world . . . His Heart to inflame yours with His generous devotedness . . . His divinity to transform you . . . His treasures of merit to enrich you . . . and His graces to strengthen you. Love Him then in return generously, nobiy, prmtually, that is to say, give yourself to Him without reserve, by the flight of all sin, the fulfilment of every duty, the struggle against pride, sensuality, cowardice. . . . What sacrifice did Jesus refuse to make for you? Can you then deny Him anything? . . . Desire Him earnestly. . . . Call upon Him ardently: "Come, Lord Jesus, come I" Private Use Only
