Lamb of God, pure and spotless victim, Who only canst satisfy the justice of an offended God, vouchsafe to make me partaker of the merits of Thy sacrifice. What lessons of humility, meekness, charity, and patience dost Thou not give me ! Impress these virtues upon my heart, that it may be to Thee a pleasant habitation, wherein Thou mayest repose as in an abode of peace.
AFTER THE AGNUS DEI.
In saying to Thy apostles, peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you ; Thou hast promised, Lord, to all Thy Church, that peace which the world cannot give — peace with Thee, and peace with ourselves.
Let nothing, Lord, ever interrupt this holy peace ; let nothing separate us from Thee, to Whom we heartily desire to be united, through the blessed sacrament of peace and reconciliation. Let this food of angels strengthen us in every Christian duty, so as never more to yield under temptations, or fall into our common weaknesses.
my good God, and sweet Saviour Jesus, Who art present here for my sake, and givest Thyself to me for daily food, and for the supply of all my necessities ; since without Thee, Who art the true food of my soul, I cannot live, I humbly beseech Thee to refresh me spiritually,
