 MY  Jesus,  I believe  that  thou  art  truly  present in this  most  Holy  Sacrament,  I love  thee  above all things,  and  I desire  thee  with  my  whole  soul,  but since I cannot  now  receive  thee  sacramentally,  come at least  spiritually  into  my  heart. I embrace thee  as if  thou  wert  already  come: I unite  myself  entirely  to thee. Never suffer  me  to  be  separated  from  thee.

[N.], desirous  to  make  the  best  return  in  my power  for  thy  benefits,  and  the  most  ample  atonement for  my  transgressions,  give  thee  my  heart,  and consecrate my  whole  being  to  thee,  O amiable  Jesus; and I purpose, 'with  the  assistance  of  thy  grace,  never more to  offend  thee.

TERNAL Word,  made  man  for  the  love  of  us, humbly prostrate  at  thy  feet,  we  adore  thee with our  whole  mind,  and  with  the  most  profound veneration. To make  amends  for  our  ingratitude  for so great  a benefit,  we  unite  in  sincerity  of  heart  with all those  who  love  thee,  and  offer  thee  our  most  humble and affectionate  thanksgivings. Deeply sensible  of that  excess  of  humility,  goodness,  and  sweetness  which we acknowledge  in  thy  divine  Heart,  we  petition  thee for thy  grace  to  imitate  these  virtues,  so  pleasing  to  thee.

Our Father,  etc. Hail Mary,  etc.  Glory  be  to  the Father, etc.

ESUS, our  admirable  Redeemer,  humbly  prostrate at thy  feet,  we  adore  thee  with  our  whole  mind
