 made Thyself  my  food,  Thou  descendest  upon  this  tongue, which so  often  has  offended  Thee,  and  dost  enter  within this body,  which  alas! has too  often  deserved  to  be  visited with Thy  anger.

Our Father.

IV. I thank  Thee,  my  dear  Saviour,  that  in  this  ineffable sacrament  Thou  unitest  me  to  Thee  with  so  much love, that  I  therein  live in  Thee,  and  Thou  in  me.

Our Father.

V. I  thank  Thee,  O  my  Jesus,  that,  giving  Thyself  to me  in  this  Blessed  Sacrament,  Thou  hast  so  enriched  it  with the treasures  of  Thy  love,  that  Thou  hast  not  greater gift to  give  me.

Our Father.

VI. I thank  Thee,  O  my  good  Jesus,  that  not  only  Thou art become  my  food,  but  also  in  this  Blessed  Sacrament offerest Thyself  a  continual  sacrifice  for  my  salvation,  to Thy  eternal  Father.

Our Father.

VII. I thank  Thee,  divine  Priest,  for  this  great  boon that thou  dost  sacrifice  Thyself  daily  upon  our  altars,  in adoration  and  homage  to  the  Most  Blessed  Trinity,  and dost supply  for  our  poor  and  miserable  adorations.

Our Father.

VIII. I thank  Thee,  O  my  Saviour,  because,  renewing in this  daily  sacrifice the  very  sacrifice  of  the  cross  offered on Calvary,  Thou  dost  satisfy  Divine  Justice  for  us  miserable sinners.

Our Father.

IX. I thank  Thee,  dear  Jesus,  that  Thou  hast  become the priceless  Victim,  to  merit  for  me  the  fulness  of  celestial favors. Awaken in  me  such  trust,  that  their  abundance may ever  more  and  more  descend  upon  my  soul.

Our Father.

X. I  thank  Thee,  my  loving  Saviour,  that  thou  art  immolated in  thanksgiving  to  God,  for  all  His  benefits,  spiritual and  temporal,  which  He  has  bestowed  upon  me. Through Thee  I  hope  to  receive  the  grace  of  perseverance, the grace  of  a  holy  death  and  of  a  happy  eternity.

Our Father.
