 sins, may  by  his  prayers  be  delivered;  through  Jesus Christ our  Lord. Amen.

O holy  N.,  I  praise  thee,  bless  thee,  and  glorify  thee, and congratulate  thee  with  all  my  heart  on  all  the  glory and honour  which ,  are  rendered  to  thee  to-day,  through the boundless  liberality  of  the  divine  goodness. I recall to thy  mind  now  the  overflowing  gladness  with  which thou didst  rejoice  when  thou  what  presented  before  the face of  the  glory  of  God  by  the  ministry  of  holy  angels, to receive  from  him  thine  everlasting  reward. Remember, O most  blessed  saint,  all  thy  honour  and  thy  glad rejoicing when  the  hand  of  God  placed  the  crown  of  the kingdom on  thy  head,  and  thy  soul  was  set  upon  the throne of  its  glory. For these  and  all  o*her  benefits  and graces which  have  been  ever  bestowed  upon  thee  by  the God of  majesty,  I  adore,  praise,  and  bless  his  unutterable goodness, that  he  hath  poured  out  upon  thee  in  such abundance the  flood  of  his  sweetest  compassion;  and  as the  bond  of  that  perpetual  love  and  faithfulness' in  which I desire  to  bind  myself  to  thee,  I  offer  thee  the  sweetest Heart of  my  Jesus,  that  treasure  of  all  good  things,  together with  all  the  love  and  the  condescension  he  hath  ever showed thee  upon  earth,  and  now  showeth  thee  in  the heavens. And, finally,  with  most  assured  trust  I  commend myself  to  thy  most  holy  prayers;  beseeching  and imploring thee  that  in  the  dread  hour  of  my  death  thou wouldst offer  unto  the  Lord,  in  satisfaction  for  wry  manifold negligences,  all  that  collected  fervour  with  which thou didst  stand  before  God  perfect  and  complete  on  this the day  of  thine  entrance  into  Paradise. Amen.
