 sing, u Glory  to  God  in  the  highest,”  and  on  earth  the peace of  the  Sacred  Heart  of  Jesus  to  men  of  good will. We give  thee  thanks,  O Lord  Jesus,  for  the great glory  of  thy  adorable  Heart. Receive our prayer.

LOTHE us,  O Lord  Jesus,  with  the  virtues  of thy  Sacred  Heart,  and  inflame  our  souls  with  the fire of  thy  divine  love; that  we  may  be  conformed to the  image  of  thy  goodness,  and  be  worth)’  of participating  in  thy  redemption.  Who  livest  and reignest  with  the  Father,  in  the  unity  of  the  Holy Ghost,  world  without  end.  Amen.

RETHREN, to  me,  the  least  of  all  the  saints,  is given  this  grace,  to  preach  among  the  Gentiles the unsearchable  riches  of  Christ,  and  to  enlighten all men,  that  they  may  see  what  is  the  dispensation of  the  mystery  which  hath  been  hidden from eternity  in  God,  who  created  all  things. For this cause  1 bow  my  knees  to  the  Father  of  our Lord Jesus  Christ,  of  whom  all  paternity  in  heaven and earth  is  named: that  he  would  grant  you,  according to  the  riches  of  his  glory,  to  be  strengthened with might  by  his  Spirit  unto  the  inward  man; that Christ may  dwell  by  faith  in  your  hearts:  that  being rooted and  founded  in  charity,  you  may  be  able  to comprehend,  with  all  the  saints,  what  is  the  breadth and length,  and  height,  and  depth. To know  also  the charity of  Christ,  which  surpasseth  knowledge,  that you may  be  filled  unto  all  the  fulness  of  God.
