enrich my poverty, and to clothe my nakedness, so that I may receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, with such contrition and devotion, such purity and faith, such purpose and intention, as may avail to the welfare and salvation of my soul. Grant me, I beseech Thee, to receive not only the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of my Lord, but also the very reality and power of the Sacrament. O most gracious God, grant me so to receive the Body of Thine only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ, that very Body which He took of the Virgin Mary, that I may be truly incorporated into His mystical Body, and so numbered amongst its members. O most loving Father, grant me at last to behold face to face and for evermore the same Thy beloved Son, whom I purpose to receive now in my pilgrimage beneath the veils of the Sacrament. Who liveth and reigneth, &c. Amen.
Implore the prayers of the Blessed Virgin and of the Saints.
O all ye blessed Angels and Saints of God, who see Him face to face; and especially thou, Mary, ever-blessed Virgin,
