 TERNAL Word,  made  man  for  love  of  us,  humbly kneeling at  Thy  feet,  we  adore  Thee  with  the  deepest veneration of  our  souls;  and  in  order  that  we  may  repair our ingratitude  for  this  great  benefit  of  Thy  Incarnation, we unite  ourselves  to  the  hearts  of  all  those  who  love  Thee, and together  with  them  we  offer  Thee  our  humble  loving thanksgiving. Pierced by  the  excess  of  humility,  goodness, and  sweetness  which  we  behold  in  Thy  Divine  Heart, we beseech  Thee  to  give  us  Thy  grace,  that  in  our  lives  we, too, may  imitate  these  virtues  so  dear  to  Thee. Pater, Ave, and  Gloria.

esus, who  dost  burn  with  love  for  us,  humbly  kneeling  at  Thy  feet  we  adore  Thee  with  the  deepest  veneration of  our  souls;  and,  in  order  to  make  Thee  reparation  for the outrages  which  Thy  divine  Heart  daily  receives  in  the Most Holy  Sacrament  of  the  Altar,  we  unite  ourselves  with the hearts  of  all  those  who  love  Thee,  and  give  Thee  tenderest  thanks.
