ADORE Thee,  eternal  Son,  and  I  thank  Thee for the  infinite  love  which  caused  Thee  to become  man  for  me,  to  be  born  in  a  stable,  to live  in  poverty,  to  suffer  hunger,  thirst,  heat, cold, fatigue,  hardships,  contempt,  persecutions, the  scourging,  the  crowning  with  thorns, and a  cruel  death  upon  the  hard  wood  of  the cross. I thank  Thee,  with  the  Church  militant and triumphant,  for  the  infinite  love  with which Thou  didst  institute  the  most  blessed Sacrament to  be  the  food  of  my  soul.

''Our Father,  Hail  Mary,  Glory  be  to  the  Father. ''

ADORE Thee  in  all  the  consecrated  hosts throughout the  whole  world,  and  I  return thanks for  those  who  know  Thee  not,  and who do  not  thank  Thee. Would that  I  were able to  give  my  life  to  make  Thee  known, loved, and  honored  by  all,  in  this  sacrament of love,  and  to  prevent  the  irreverences  and sacrileges that  are  committed  against  Thee! I love  Thee,  divine  Jesus,  and  I  desire  to receive  Thee  with  all  the  purity,  love,  and affection of  Thy  blessed  Mother,  and  with  the love and  affection  of  Thy  own  most  pure Heart. Grant, O  most  amiable  Spouse  of my  soul  in  coming  to  me  in  this  most  holy Sacrament, that  I  may  receive  all  the  graces and blessings  which  Thou  dost  come  to  be-
