wings. Whither shall I flee from His face? Two
places are safe for me - the depths of my misery
and the Heart of my Judge. In them will I hide myself.
0 my God, I detest all the sins of my whole life because
they displease Thee, and especially I am sorry
for those which I have committed against this sacrament,
by my irreverence and the little profit I
ha~e drawn from so many communions, by my negligence
in guarding my senses, particularly my tongue,
which has been so often consecrated by T4y divine
presence.
My Lord and my God, what confusion I feel at
beholding myself so unworthy to approach Thy holy
table. Suffer me, dear Jesus, to seek the remedy for
my evils in the wound of Thy sacred Heart. Let Thy
sacred Heart be to me as the burning coal which purified
the lips of Isaias; place it, all inflamed with charity,
I beseech Thee, dear Lord, on my heart, my tongue,
my senses, and all the powers of my soul, so that
it may bum and annihilate all that is displeasing to
Thee.
Jesus, Jesus, be to me Jesus, and save me. Remember
Thou hast said, "The Son oj man is come to seek
and to save that wh.ich was lost" (Luke xix. 10). They
that are in health wed not a physician, but thy that
are sick. I am not come b call the just, but sinntrs
(Matt. ix. 13). Dear Lord, I am sick, I am sinful,
as Thou knowest; come to me and say, I am thy
salvation (Ps. xxxiv. 3).
Grant me, 0 Lord, the-grace of beginning a new,
a fervent life, and deign to give me in this holy sacrament
the pledge of eternal life promised to those who receive
Thee worthily. Amen.
