 so many  Christians  with coldness and  indifference. I wish  to  make  amends  for my own  ingratitude,  and heartfelt atonement  for  all those sinful  acts  of  my life,  by  which  I  have wounded Thy  sacred Heart. I offer  Thee  my profound  adoration,  my sorrow,  and  my  love, to appease  and  to  rejoice, as much  as  I  can,  Thy sacred Heart  in  this  sacrament of  love  and  to  make reparation for  all  the  acts of irreverence  and  profanation which  have  been committed against  Thee.

As I  gaze  upon  the sacred Host  I  recall  that pathetic word  of  Thine,

O Lord, at  the  Last Supper: "Do  this  in commemoration  of  Me" — "Remember Me!" Yes, the Blessed  Sacrament  is a  memorial  of  the  "Man of  sorrows,"  a  memorial of the  greatest  pain  a creature  on  earth  ever endured, a  memorial  of the  most  tender,  most constant, most  unselfish and most  heroic  love  the world shall  ever  know — the last  sweet  gift  of  a Heart  that  fears  to  be forgotten. Oh, yes! Lord I shall  remember  Thee. How could  I  forget  Thy love, dearest  Jesus! Mayest Thou  be  known, adored, and  loved  by  all,
