 Jesus,  look  down  in  mercy  on  Thy  holy Church. Bless our  Holy  Father,  and grant what  he  asks  of  Thee. O Jesus,  have pity on  all  sinners,  heretics,  and  infidels. Save them by  Thy  most  precious  blood.

O Jesus,  bless  my  father,  my  mother,  my brothers,  and  sisters;  my  relatives,  friends, and benefactors;  and  all  for  whom  I  have promised to  pray;  bless  them  so  that  they may attain  to  eternal  happiness.

O Jesus,  have  pity  on  the  poor  souls  suffering in  purgatory,  and  give  them  eternal  rest.

JESUS, merciful  Saviour,  relying  on Thy  infinite  goodness,  I  hope  to  obtain through this  holy  communion  all  the  graces of which  I  stand  in  need  for  my  greater  sanctification  and  eternal  salvation. Begging Thy pardon for  all  the  transgressions  of  my  past life, I  first  of  all  beseech  Thee  to  give  me  the grace that  I  may  never  again  fall  into  any mortal sin. I would  rather  be  dead  than  live a moment  without  Thy  grace  and  Thy  love. But Thou,  O  Lord,  knowest  how  weak  I  am and  how  prone  to  evil. Do Thou  strengthen me by  Thy  grace,  that  I  may  be  faithful  in doing  Thy  will. Thou canst  heal  all  the  evils
