Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world:

Spare us, O Lord Jesus.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world:

Hear us, O Lord Jesus.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world:

Have mercy upon us, O Lord Jesus.

Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us.

V. O most meek and humble Heart of Jesus, render our hearts like thine.

R. And inflame our hearts with that divine fire which thou camest to kindle on earth.

LET US PRAY.

O GOD, who, out of thy infinite love, hast given to the faithful the most Sacred Heart of thy beloved Son, our Lord, as the object of their tender affection; grant that we may so love and honour this pledge of thy love on earth, as by it to merit the love of both thee and thy gift, and be eternally loved by thee and this most blessed Heart in heaven: through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Through thy Sacred Heart, O Jesus ! overflowing with all sweetness, we recommend to thee ourselves and all our concerns, our friends, parents, relations, superiors, benefactors, and enemies. Take under thy protection this house, city, and kingdom; extend this thy care to all such as are under any affliction, and to those who labour in the agony and pangs of death. Cast an eye of compassion on the obstinate sinner, and more especially on the poor suffering souls in purgatory, as also on those who are united with us in the holy confederacy of honouring and worshipping thee. Bless these in particular, O sweet Jesus, and bless them according to the extent of thy infinite goodness, mercy, and charity. Amen.
