 forever receiving,  and  giving  nothing  in  return. Dear Lord,  I  could  never  vie  with  Thee  in generosity,  but  I  love  Thee;  deign  to  accept my poor  heart,  and  though  it  is  worthless, yet because  Thou  lovest  it  it  may  become something by  Thy  grace;  make  it  good  and take it  into  Thy  custody.

Eucharistic Heart  of  Jesus,  I  consecrate  to Thee  all  the  powers  of  my  soul,  and  all  the powers of  my  body;  I  desire  to  apply  myself to the  work  of  knowing  Thee  and  loving  Thee ever more  and  more,  in  order  to  make  Thee better known  and  loved  by  others. I would do nothing  except  what  tends  to  Thy  glory, nor act  in  anything  but  as  Thy  divine  Father wills. I consecrate  to  Thee  all  the  moments of my  life  in  a  spirit  of  adoration  before  Thy real presence,  in  a  spirit  of  thanksgiving  for this incomparable  gift,  of  reparation  for  our cruel indifference,  and  of  incessant  supplication,  so  that  our  prayers  offered  to  Thee,  with Thee, and  in  Thee  may  rise  to  the  throne  of divine  mercy  pure  and  efficacious,  and  for God's eternal  glory. Amen.

Eucharistic Heart  of  Jesus,  on  fire  with love of  us,  inflame  our  hearts  with  love  of  Thee.
