43 a Holy Communion
act of @ditiun
JESUS, merciful Saviour, relying on Thy infinite
0 goodness, I hope to obtain through this holy
communion all the graces of which I stand in need
for my greater sanctification and -eternal salvation.
Begging Thy pardon for all the transgressions of
my past life, I first of all beseech Thee to give me
the grace that I may never again fall into any mortal
sin. I would rather be dead than live a moment without
Thy grace and Thy love. But Thou, 0 Lord,
knowest how weak I am and how prone to evil. Do
Thou strengthen me by Thy grace that I may be
faithful in doing Thy will. Thou canst heal all the evils
of my soul since Thou art its true Physician, Who
givest me Thy body and blood in this Blessed Sacrament
as a sovereign medicine for all my infirmities.
Dispel the darkness of ignorance from my understanding
by Thy heavenly light; banish the corruption and
malice of my will by the fire of Thy divine love; subdue
in me all evil passions and help me especially to overcome
my predominant fault; stand by me in all temptations
of the devil, the world, and the flesh, that I may
not fall into their snares. Increase my faith, and grant
that in my daily life I may be guided by Thy example
and the maxims of Thy holy Gospel. Teach me to be
poor in spirit; to place no value upon the world's
transitory pleasures and honors; to be meek and
humble of heart and in patience to possess my
soul; to love Thee more and more and to walk
always in Thy presence; to be kind and generous
to my neighbor; to strive earnestly to advance every
day in holiness and perfection. May Thy hdy will be
accomplished in me. Grant me, above all, the grace
of final perseverance, that I may become a saint.
