There contemplate  the  love  of  Jesus, the pearl  of  our  life  here  below. Be not  cold and unmoved  like  the  stone  floor,  but  adore your God  with  fervor  and  pray  with  the  deepest reverence. Pierce with  the  eye  of  faith  the veils of  the  Blessed  Sacrament,  and  pray  with heart and  lips :

Jesus, dearest  Lord,  I  love  Thee, Because Thou  first  hast  loved  me; All other  love  I  will  resign, Conform me  to  Thy  love  divine.

ING, my  tongue,  the  Saviour's  glory, Of His  flesh  the  mystery  sing; Of the  blood,  all  price  exceeding, Shed by  our  immortal  King, Destined, for  the  world's  redemption, From a  noble  womb  to  spring.

Of a  pure  and  spotless  virgin Born for  us  on  earth  below, He, as  man  with  man  conversing, Stay'd, the  seeds  of  truth  to  sow? Then He  closed  in  solemn  order Wondrously His  life  of  woe.
