of ever loving and adoring thee after a proper manner, in the sacrament of love, the Eucharist; thus to repair by a true conversion of heart, and a becoming zeal for thy glory, our past negligence and infidelity. Be thou, O adorable Heart! who knowest the clay of which we are formed, be thou our mediator with thy heavenly Father, whom we have so grievously offended: strengthen our weakness, confirm our resolution, and with thy charity, humility, meekness, and patience, cover the multitude of our iniquities; be thou our support, our refuge, and our strength, that nothing henceforth in life or death may separate us from thee. Amen.
THE BEADS, OR LITTLE ROSARY OF THE SACRED HEART.
This little Rosary consists of a small Cross, thirty-eight Beads; that is, five of a larger size, to remind us of the sacred wounds of our blessed Saviour, and thirty-three of a smaller form, answering to the number of years he spent on earth in the great work of our redemption.
