 my soul. Help me  to  thank  Him  for  all  His gifts, and  most  of  all  for  Himself. By this Holy Sacrament  He  strengthens  souls  on earth,  and  gives  rest  to  souls  in  purgatory, and gladdens  souls  in  heaven. He is  the hidden Manna,  promised  by  Himself  to  all  who overcome. Thy grace  will  bring  me  in  safety to God. May I  taste  the  sweetness  of  Jesus! May my  soul  be  kept  by  Thee  very  bright for the  coming  of  my  Spouse!

LEANSE my  heart,  O  Holy  Spirit,  by  this heavenly food,  wherein  Jesus  gives  me Himself. Strengthen my  faith,  that  I  may see Jesus  in  this  sacrament  of  His  body  and blood. There is  in  me  a  law  by  which  I  am in  danger  of  falling  into  the  captivity  of  sin. I have  often  to  go  on  my  heavenward  way through darkness  and  many  temptations, but Thou  art  my  light  and  my  strength. In Thee I  trust. By Thy  grace  I  can  do  all things that  Jesus  wishes  me  to  do. Be ever in my  soul  as  the  dew  of  the  light. With utter trust  I  rest  upon  Thee,  and  believe  the testimony which  Thou  givest. Set up  more and more  Thy  kingdom  in  my  soul,  that  I  may keep my  body  under,  and  bring  it  to  subjection,
