MY God,  I  believe  that  Thou  art  here  truly  present; that Thy  divine  eyes  penetrate  the  secrets  of  my heart. Thou seest  all  its  miseries.

I adore  Thee  in  union  with  holy  Mary,  all  the  angels and saints,  and  all  holy  souls  upon  earth.

I deeply  grieve  for  all  my  sins,  especially  for  those which wound  Thy  Sacred  Heart,  and  render  my  heart most unlike  Thine.

I offer  Thee,  O  Lord,  all  I  possess:  my  soul  with  all its faculties,  my  body  with  all  its  senses. Miserable as this  offering  is,  my  God,  it  is  all  I  have;  and  in  return  I ask  the  light  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  that  I  may  know  Thy will — and Thy  grace,  that  I  may  do  it.

I beseech  Thee,  grant  that  I  may  draw  fruit  from  this prayer. Holy Mary,  blessed  Mother  of  Jesus,  refuge  of poor  sinners,  and  my  dear  Mother,  pray  for  me.

St. Joseph, St. Ignatius, St. Francis Xavier,  pray  for  us.

MY Jesus,  I  desire  to  enter  into  Thy  Sacred  Heart, and to  make  my  prayer  there,  that  I  may  pray with Thee  and  through  Thee,  and  adore  the  Father  in spirit  and  in  truth. I desire  to  unite  myself  as  closely as possible  to  this  source  of  all  graces  and  blessings, that my  heart  may  be  inflamed,  my  mind  enlightened, and all  my  deficiencies  supplied. Amen.

OME, O  Holy  Spirit! fill the  hearts  of  Thy  faithful, and  kindle  in  them  the  fire  of  Thy  love.

V. Send  forth  Thy  Spirit,  and  they  shall  be  created.

R. And  Thou  shalt  renew  the  face  of  the  earth.
