 Thyself art present, and where Thou art all that is there is Thine. Come therefore, O Lord, and take possession of us for ever, and let us be the true temples of Thy Holy Spirit.

Glory be to Thee, O Father, with Thine only begotten Son, whom Thou hast bestowed upon us as our Life, and to the Holy Spirit, unto endless ages; through the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord, the Giver of all good gifts. Amen.

O God, Priest of the true and eternal tabernacle, who hast offered Thyself as the immaculate Lamb on the altar of the Cross, may the mystery of Thy life-giving passion which is now being offered by our priest be an expiation, I beseech Thee, of all our sins. And as once Thou didst take pity on the tears of Peter and the sighs of the thief crucified with Thee, so now at this moment have mercy on us, bring us also to that tabernacle where, seated on the right hand of the Father, Thou, moved with compassion for the human race, pleadest for us. Offer up each day in heaven that sacrifice which once Thou hast offered for us upon the Cross, O Jesus Christ, our God and our glory. Amen.
