pardon me, O Lord, and grant me grace that I may in future imitate thee in thy unalterable meekness, and may thus obtain a constant and holy peace.

Pater, five Glorias.

O sweet Heart of my Jesus, make me love thee always more and more.

5. I sing praises, O dearest Jesus, to the generosity of thy Heart, which hath conquered death and hell. How I blush to see mine in so cowardly a manner shrinking from the slightest sacrifice! But it shall be so no longer. Grant me the courage and strength which will render me victorious over all my enemies on earth, and prepare me for the glorious triumphs of Paradise.

Pater, five Glorias.

O sweet Heart of my Jesus, make me love thee always more and more.

Concluding Prayer.

Behold, O most loving Jesus, to what an excess thy love has gone! Of thy own flesh and most precious Blood thou hast prepared for me a divine banquet, in which thou givest me thy whole self. What could have moved thee to this transport of love! Nothing else, surely, than thy most loving Heart, O adorable Heart of my Jeeus, furnace of divine love, receive into thy sacred wound my soul, that I may learn in that school of charity how to love my God, who has given me such wonderful proofs of his love: so be it.

Offering.

My loving Jesus, in order to shew the grateful love I bear thee, and to make reparation for my unfaithfulness to grace, I (N. N.) give thee my heart, and I consecrate myself wholly to thee; and with thy help I purpose never to sin again.
