O merciful  Jesus! ever present on our  altars,  and  with  a  heart open to  receive  all  who  labor  and are burdened!

Pardon, divine  Jesus! all the  injuries,  reproaches,  and outrages, done  Thee,  through  the course of  Thy  holy  life  and  bitter passion. Pardon all  the  impieties, and irreverences,  and  sacrileges,
