I am a poor sinner, but I hope in that boundless mercy<br />

which detains Thee a prisoner of love in <strong>the</strong> tabernacle.<br />

I come to Thee with a contrite heart, and I beg Thy<br />

pardon and mercy. Thou art tmly called <strong>the</strong> "Love?<br />

of souls," for Thou hast sacrificed Thy life for our<br />

salvation; Thou hast said: "<strong>My</strong> delights are to be with<br />

<strong>the</strong> children of men"; and Thy death-bed gift to us<br />

was <strong>the</strong> Holy Eucharist. I behold <strong>the</strong> tabernacle<br />

surmounted by a cross, and this reminds me, dear Lord<br />

and Saviour, that <strong>the</strong> Blessed Sacrament is a memorial<br />

of Thy passion and death. I love that infinite goodness<br />

which induced Thee to institute this holy sacrament<br />

of <strong>the</strong> altar, <strong>the</strong> grandest memorial of all Thy works,<br />

wherein Thou dost communicate Thyself so wonderfully<br />

to Thy creatures. I thank Thee for this sublime<br />

proof of Thy love, and ardently wish that I couldworthily<br />

acknowledge all <strong>the</strong> blessings that I have ever received<br />

from this fountain of grace and mercy. I sincerely<br />

regret that this precious pledge of Thy love is received<br />

by so many Christians with coldness and indifference.<br />

I wish to make amends for my own ingratitude, and<br />

heartfelt atonemmt for all those sinful acts of my life,<br />

by which I have wounded Thy sacred Heart. I offer<br />

Thee my profound adoratiolz, my sorrow, and my love,<br />

to appease and to rejoice, as much as I T, Thy<br />

sacred Heart, in this sacrament of love and make<br />

reparation for all <strong>the</strong> acts of irreverence and profanation,<br />

which have been committed against Thee. I<br />

love Thee with my whole soul; I acknowledge Thee<br />

as my only Master; I offer Thee all that I have,<br />

and all that I am. Jesus! I give Thee my heart<br />

with all its affections; I give Thee my soul with all its<br />

powers; I give Thee my body with all its senses. Jesus !<br />

I consecrate myself entirely to Thee; I wish to live and<br />
