 to avoid  sin  and  the  occasions  of  sin;  I  will dwell permanently  in  Thy  divine  Heart, whence I  expect  the  grace  of  loving  Thee unto death.

hat strength hast  Thou  not  imparted  to my  soul,  good  Lord,  by  means  of  this holy communion! Oh! how much  I  need  it. The road  I  have  to  traverse  is  so  difficult, that without  Thee  I  should  fear  to  venture upon it. In a  short  time  I  shall  return  to  my daily  occupations;  I  shall  continue  my  life of yesterday;  I  shall  be  exposed  to  the  same temptations, I  shall  find  myself  with  my usual  faults. But Jesus,  Thou  Who  didst help the  saints. Thou hast  come  to  me. Stay, oh, stay  with  me,  and  do  Thou  by  Thy  grace help me  to  preserve  in  all  my  words  and actions, modesty,  meekness,  and  humility. Help me  to  make  Thy  presence  within  me visible  to  all;  let  others  see  in  me  the  sweetness of  Thy  charity,  generosity,  and  kindness.

oul of  Christ,  sanctify  me. Body of  Christ,  save  me. Blood of  Christ,  inebriate  me. Water from  the  side  of  Christ,  wash  me. Passion of  Christ,  strengthen  me. O good  Jesus,  hear  me.
