 Sacrament of Penance. Thanks to Thee, O Jesus, for every drop of Thy Blood, for all Thy five death wounds. Thanks to Thee to-day particularly, that in Thy divine love Thou hast written us not only in Thy hands and feet but hast also inscribed us deeply on Thy Heart. Permit not that we be ever separated from Thy Heart; grant that we may live and die in Thy love!

(Ind. of 300 days, once a day. — Pius X. May 6, 1909.)

MARY, with thee we magnify the Lord to-day and without ceasing, Who has done great things for thee, Who is mighty and holy in His Name. With the angel and with all generations we call thee blessed, we salute thee full of grace and conceived without sin whom the Triune God raised above all the angels and saints and chose for His own true Mother. With thee, O Mary, we offer thanks for thy privileges to the Father, to the Son, to the Holy Ghost.

O Mary, true Mother of God, at the foot of the cross thou gavest thy first-born Son unto death for us, and so in thy sorrow became our Mother. Help us, Mary, with thy continual love that we, the children of thy sorrow, may with thee, the holy martyrs, and all the saints of God, follow thy crucified Son even unto death. Prove thyself a Mother, and after the crosses and sorrows of this life show unto us in heaven, Jesus, the blessed fruit of thy womb. Amen.
