DIVINE Jesus! lonely to-night  in  so  many  tabernacles,  without  visitor  or  worshipper,  I  offer  Thee my poor,  but  loving  heart. May every  pulsation  be  a prayer  of  love  to  Thee. Thou art  ever  watching  under the sacramental  veils;  in  Thy  love  Thou  never  sleepest, and Thou  art  never  weary  of  Thy  vigil  for  sinners. O good Jesus,  I  love  Thee. Thou art  infinitely  good, and I  have  displeased  Thee  by  many  sins. Forgive me — I am  truly  sorry  for  having  offended  Thee. O sweet Jesus! O lonely  Jesus! may my  heart  be  a  lamp, the light  of  which  shall  burn  henceforth  for  Thee  alone. Bless me,  Jesus. Come, and  refresh  me  spiritually  by Thy  presence,  before  I  take  my  repose. Let me  nevermore be  separated  from  Thee  by  sin. Adorable Heart of Jesus,  burning  furnace  of  divine  love! within Thy sacred wound  take  Thou  my  soul,  in  order  that  my heart  may  be  inflamed  with  the  love  of  Thee.

O Prisoner  of  love! divine Jesus! chain my  poor  heart to the  foot  of  Thy  altar. Dearest Jesus,  Thou  hast made my  heart  for  Thyself  alone,  and  it  will  not  find rest, except  in  Thee;  hide  it  within  Thy  divine  Heart  in the  tabernacle. When shall  I  see  Thee  face  to  face,  and rest for  ever  in  Thy  bosom? Good Lord,  my  heart  is weary;  suffer  me  to  enter  and  repose  in  Thy  Sacred  Heart. O Sacrament  most  holy,  O  Sacrament  divine, All praise  and  all  thanksgiving  be  every  moment Thine!

AKE me,  Jesus,  wholly  Thine; Take this  wayward  heart  of  mine; Guide me  through  this  world  so  drear — Heart of  Jesus,  hear!

When I  draw  my  parting  breath, When my  eyes  shall  close  in  death, Then, sweet  Jesus,  be  Thou  near — Heart of  Jesus,  hear!
