O loving Jesus, O lonely Jesus, may my heart be a lamp, the light of which shall burn and beam for Thee alone in time and in eternity.
May Thy will be done in me. Keep me in Thy love; grant me the grace of perseverance.
Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit. Jesus, my God and my All !
A SIMPLE INDULGENCED VISIT TO THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
His Holiness, Pope Pius IX, granted an Indulgence of 300 days, each time, to all the faithful who shall visit the Most Blessed Sacrament, and recite the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory be to the Father, each five times, and another Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father, for the intention of the Pope.
Petition for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
O my God, I recommend to Thy clemency the holy souls in purgatory, and especially those to whom I am most indebted by the bond of charity or of justice ; and chiefly I implore Thee in behalf of those who, during their life, have been most devout to the Blessed Sacrament; as also those who have most loved the Blessed Virgin. For this I offer Thee, my good Jesus, Thy wounds, Thy agony, Thy death, and all the merits of Thy most bitter passion. I know that it is Thy pleasure I should pray for these holy souls, who are so worthy of Thy love. Hear, then, dear Lord, and grant this my prayer in their behalf, which I present to Thee in the words of Thy holy Church: "Requiem aternam dona eis, D amine, et lux perpetua luceat eis" — "Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them."
