act of adoration. Nothing can be more practicable, nothing more agreeable to the amiable and offended heart of our divine Saviour, or more satisfactory for so many offences daily committed against him.

1. The Method of saying it.
ON the Cross: The prayer of St. Ignatius.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Heart of Christ, enliven me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water flowing from the side of Christ, purify me.
Passion of Christ, comfort me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Hide me within thy wounds.
Never permit me to be separated from thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me, and cause me to come to thee,
Where with the saints and angels I may praise thee for everlasting ages. Amen. — (300 days' indulgence.)
On the largo beads, say:
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto thine. — (300 days' indulgence.)
On each of the small beads, say:
Meek Heart of Jesus, be thou my love. — (300 days' indulgence.)
At the end of each decade, say:
Sweet Heart of Mary, be thou my salvation. — (300 days' indulgence.)
