 for myself,  a  simple  and  pure  intention  in  all  my actions. For the  same  intentions,  in  honor  of  the Sacred Heart.

Saturday. — Mass, Office,  Rosary,  etc.,  in  honor  of our  blessed  Lady,  to  beg  grace  to  confess  my  sins,  briefly, distinctly, and  contritely,  and  to  draw  fruit  from  my  confessions and  communions.

Y loving  Jesus,  I,  N.N.,  give  Thee  my  heart,  and I consecrate  myself  wholly  to  Thee  out  of  the grateful love  I  bear  Thee,  and  as  a  reparation  for  all  my unfaithfulness  to  grace,  and  with  Thine  aid  I  purpose never to  sin  again.

O Sacred  Heart  of  Jesus,  burning  with  love  for  us, inflame our  hearts  with  love  for  Thee. Grant that  we may,  in  conversation,  manners,  and  conduct,  avoid whatever may  in  the  least  disturb  our  union,  or  lessen in the  smallest  degree  our  mutual  charity  and  love,  that we may  repair  the  smallest  offence  by  quickly  asking pardon, and  if  asked  pardon  of  by  others,  oh! enable us to  grant  it  without  contention  or  reserve.

EMEMBER, O  most  blessed  Virgin! that it  has never been  heard  of  in  any  age,  that  those  who implored thy  powerful  protection  were  abandoned  by thee. I, therefore,  O  sacred  Virgin,  animated  with  the most lively  confidence,  cast  myself  at  thy  sacred  feet, most earnestly  beseeching  thee  to  adopt  me  as  thy  child, to take  care  of  my  eternal  salvation,  and  to  watch  over me at  the  hour  of  death. Oh, do  not,  Mother  of  the Word Incarnate,  despise  my  prayer,  but  graciously hear and  obtain  the  grant  of  my  petitions. Amen.
