LOTHE me,  my  Lord,  with  the  robe  of  innocence, and adorn  my  heart,  O  divine  Spouse  of  my  soul, with all  the  virtues  that  are  pleasing  to  Thee;  especially with humility,  obedience,  purity,  charity,  and  an  exact fidelity to  my  holy  rules  and  vows.

GOOD Jesus,  divine  Spouse  of  my  soul,  I  thank Thee for  this  cherished  token  of  my  allegiance to Thee;  and  I  beseech  Thee,  that,  with  Thy  grace,  I may  preserve  unsullied  the  wedding-garment  with  which Thou didst  invest  my  soul  on  the  blessed  day  of  my  consecration to  Thee.

In spirit cast yourself  into  the  Sacred  Heart  of  Jesus  and  say some  ejaculatory  prayer.

Our divine Lord  said  to  St.  Mechtilde:  When  you  awake  in the  morning,  let  your  first  act  be  to  salute  My  Heart,  and  to  offer Me your  own.

ADORE, praise,  and  salute  Thee,  O  most  sweet  Heart of Jesus  Christ,  fresh  and  gladdening  as  the  breath of spring,  from  which,  as  from  a  fountain  of  graces, sweeter than  the  honeycomb  floweth  evermore  all  good and all  delight. I thank  Thee  with  all  the  powers  of  my heart  for  having  preserved  me  throughout  this  night, and for  having  rendered  to  God  the  Father  praises  and thanksgivings on  my  behalf. And now,  O  my  sweet Love, I  offer  Thee  my  wretched  and  worthless  heart  as a  morning  sacrifice;  I  place  it  in  Thy  most  tender  Heart, and entrust  it  to  Thy  keeping;  beseeching  Thee  that Thou wouldst  deign  to  pour  into  it  Thy  divine  inspirations, and  to  enkindle  it  with  Thy  holy  love. Amen.
