thy infinite goodness and unspeakable mercies; may these same mercies give thee glory; and may they follow me all the days of my life. ( Psalm cvi. 8, xx. 6.) In the strength of the heavenly nourishment I have received, may I walk steadily in the paths of virtue, until I come to that happy region where I shall certainly sing, “ Benediction, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, honour, and power, and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.” (Apoc. v. 12.)


Devotions to the Sacred Heart,

Especially during the time of Mass.


INVOCATIONS.

SANCTUARY of the divinity! Abyss of wisdom !

Ocean of goodness ! Throne of mercy!

Treasure inexhaustible, of whose fulness we have all received!

Our peace and our atonement!

Fountain of water springing up into everlasting life!

In which the Father is well pleased!

The propitiation for our sins!

Filled with bitterness for our sakes!

Sorrowful in the garden, even unto death!

Overwhelmed with revilings!

Wounded with love!

Pierced with a lance!

Exhausted of thy blood on the cross!

Bruised for our sins!

Still outraged by ungrateful men in the most Holy Sacrament of love!

Refuge of sinners!

Strength of the weak !

Comfort of the afflicted !
