RANT US,  O  Lord  Jesus,  faithfully  to  imitate the  examples  of  Thy  Holy  Family, so that  in  the  hour  of  our  death,  in  the  company of  Thy  glorious  Virgin  Mother  and  St. Joseph,  we  may  deserve  to  be  received  by Thee  into  eternal  tabernacles.

Indulgence of 200  days,  once  a  day. — Leo  XIII, Feb. 6, 1893.

EAR Jesus,  in  the  Sacrament  of  the  Altar, be forever  thanked  and  praised. Love, worthy of  all  celestial  and  terrestrial  love! Who, out  of  infinite  love  for  me,  ungrateful sinner, didst  assume  our  human  nature,  didst shed Thy  most  precious  blood  in  the  cruel scourging, and  didst  expire  on  a  shameful cross for  our  eternal  welfare! Now, illumined with lively  faith,  with  the  outpouring  of  my whole  soul  and  the  fervor  of  my  heart,  I humbly  beseech  Thee,  through  the  infinite merits of  Thy  painful  sufferings,  give  me strength  and  courage  to  destroy  every  evil passion which  sways  my  heart,  to  bless  Thee in my  greatest  afflictions,  to  glorify  Thee by the  exact  fulfilment  of  all  my  duties,  supremely to  hate  all  sin,  and  thus  to  become a saint.
