O good Jesus, despise me not, but vouchsafe to visit Thy servant, and by Thy grace to work and perfect all the effects and virtues of Thy holy sacrament in me, to Thy honor, my God, and the eternal salvation of my soul. Amen.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me ; Body of Christ, save me ; Blood of Christ, inebriate me ; Water out of the side of Christ, wash me ; passion of Christ, strenghten me. good Jesus, hear me, hide me within Thy wounds; suffer me not to be separated from Thee; defend me from the malignant enemy ; at the hour of my death call me, and bid me come unto Thee, that with Thy saints I may praise Thee for all eternity. Amen.

God only can be worthy of receiving God ; how, then, can a soul so sinful as mine merit so great a happiness I But Thou, Lord, regardest not Thy greatness, but Thy mercy. Thou wiliest that I come to Thee, as one sick to the physician who can heal him, as one poor to the rich lord who can assist him. God of love, behold at Thy feet the poorest, the most infirm of Thy creatures. Unite me to Thyself, and I shall become rich and whole in Thy sight — Work, I beseech Thee, this miracle, worthy of Thy omnipotence and charity.
