and to afford relief to the holy souls suffering in purgatory. Unite our hearts in the bonds of true peace and charity, deliver us from an unprovided death, and grant that we may die in holiness and tranquillity of mind. Amen.
V. Heart of Jesus, burning with love of us.
R. Inflame our hearts with love of thee.
LET US PRAY.
GRANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God, that we who glory in the most Sacred Heart of thy beloved Son, and bear in mind the exceeding great benefits of his charity towards us, may delight in the good conferred on us, and enjoy its effects: through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
O divine Heart of Jesus, I adore thee with all the powers of my soul; I consecrate them to thee for ever, with all my thoughts, words, and actions, and my whole self. I desire to adore thee, to love thee, and to glorify thee, in the same manner, as far as possible, as thou dost adore, love, and glorify thy eternal Father. Be thou, I beseech thee, the restorer of my weakness, and the protector of my life, my refuge, and my asylum at the hour of death. I conjure thee, by the sighs and the anguish which thou didst endure for me during the whole course of thy mortal life, to grant me a true contrition for my sins, a contempt of earthly things, an ardent desire of eternal glory, a confidence in thy infinite merits, and final perseverance in thy grace.
O Heart of Jesus, all love, I offer thee these humble prayers for myself, and for all those who unite in spirit with me in adoring thee. Vouchsafe, through thy infinite goodness, to receive and hear them;
