 Pardon, divine  Jesus! all the  injuries,  reproaches  and outrages done  thee,  through  the  course  of  thy  holy life and  bitter  passion:  pardon  all  the  impieties, irreverences and sacrileges  which  have  been  committed against thee  in  the  Sacrament  of  the  Eucharist,  from its first  institution. Graciously receive  the  small  tribute of  our  sincere  repentance,  as  an  agreeable  offering in  thy  sight,  and  in  requital  for  the  benefits  we daily  receive  from  the  altar,  on  which  thou  art  a  living and continual  sacrifice,  and  in  union  with  that  bloody Holocaust thou  didst  present  to  thy  eternal  Father  on Mount  Calvary  from  the  cross.

Sweet Jesus! give thy  blessings  to  the  ardent  desire we  now  entertain,  and  the  holy  resolution  we  have taken of  ever  loving  and  adoring  thee,  after  a  proper manner, in  the  holy  Eucharist,  thy  Sacrament  of  Love; thus to  repair,  by  a  true  conversion  of  heart,  and  a  becoming zeal  for  thy  glory,  our  past  negligence  and  infidelity. But thou,  O  adorable  Heart! who knowest the clay  of  which  we  are  formed,  be  thou  our  mediator with  thy  heavenly  Father,  whom  we  have  so grievously  offended. Strengthen our  weakness;  confirm our  resolution;  and  with  thy  charity,  humility, meekness and  patience,  cover,  the  multitude  of  our iniquities. Be thou  our  support,  our  refuge  and  our strength, that  nothing  henceforward,  in  life  or  death, may separate  us  from  thee. Amen.

AIL, O  sacred  Heart  of  Jesus,  living  and  quickening source  of  eternal  life,  infinite  treasury  of the  divinity,  burning  furnace  of  divine  love ! thou art my refuge  and  my  sanctuary. O my  amiable  Saviour! consume my  heart  with  that  burning  fire  with,  which thine is  ever  inflamed;  pour  down  on  my  soul  those graces which  flow  from  thy  love,  and  let  my  heart  be so united  with  thine  that  our  wills  may  be  one,  and
