 O loving  Jesus,  O  lonely  Jesus,  may  my  heart  be  a lamp,  the  light  of  which  shall  burn  and  beam  for  Thee alone in  time  and  in  eternity.

May Thy  will  be  done  in  me. Keep me  in  Thy  love; grant me  the  grace  of  perseverance.

Lord, into  thy  hands  I  commend  my  spirit. Jesus, my God  and  my  All !

His Holiness, Pope  Pius  IX,  granted  an  Indulgence  of 300  days,  each  time,  to  all  the  faithful  who  shall  visit  the Most  Blessed  Sacrament,  and  recite  the  Our  Father,  the Hail  Mary,  and  the  Glory  be  to  the  Father,  each  five  times, and  another  Our  Father,  Hail  Mary,  and  Glory  be  to  the Father,  for  the  intention  of  the  Pope.

my God,  I  recommend  to  Thy  clemency  the  holy souls in  purgatory,  and  especially  those  to  whom I am  most  indebted  by  the  bond  of  charity  or  of  justice ;  and  chiefly  I  implore  Thee  in  behalf  of  those  who, during their  life,  have  been  most  devout  to  the  Blessed Sacrament; as  also  those  who  have  most  loved  the Blessed Virgin. For this  I  offer  Thee,  my  good  Jesus, Thy wounds,  Thy  agony,  Thy  death,  and  all  the  merits of Thy  most  bitter  passion. I know  that  it  is  Thy pleasure I  should  pray  for  these  holy  souls,  who  are so worthy  of  Thy  love. Hear, then,  dear  Lord,  and grant this  my  prayer  in  their  behalf,  which  I  present  to Thee  in  the  words  of  Thy  holy  Church:  "Requiem aternam  dona  eis,  D amine,  et  lux  perpetua  luceat  eis"  — "Eternal  rest  give  unto  them,  O  Lord,  and  let perpetual  light  shine  upon  them."
