Objects of my dearest love, Jesus and Mary! let me suffer for you, let me die for you; grant that I may belong wholly to you, and never, to myself any more.
Praised and blessed for ever be the most holy Sacrament of the Altar, and blessed be the holy and Immaculate Conception of the most holy Virgin Mary.
Aspirations
AFTER HOLY COMMUNION.
I. ENLIGHTEN the eyes of my soul, O Lord, with the rays of divine faith and wisdom, that I may ever look on thee as the way, the rule, and example of all thy thoughts, words, and actions.
What am I, Lord, or what claim can I have on thy bounty, that thou shouldst thus bestow thy blessings upon me? Yes, thou hast created me for thyself, and mayst thou alone be the rest and centre of my soul.
Good Jesus, my hope and only happiness, I here return thee thanks for all thy sufferings, and beg that I may ever find a place of refuge in thy sacred wounds against the assaults of all my enemies. Imprint the memory of them, I beseech thee, so deeply in my heart that I may ever love thee, and in all my sufferings never forget what thou hast suffered for me.
Take from me all self-love, and grant me a perfect love of thee, that I may hereafter be more devoted to thy service, and suffer nothing to prevent me from a faithful discharge of my duty.
