 SACRAMENT. COPYRIGHT, 1928, BY BENZIGER

INTRODUCTION 
 
 WHAT IS THE 
 FORTY-HOUR 
 DEVOTION 
 
 Devotion to Jesus in the 
 Holy Eucharist is the most 
 beautiful and fruitful of all 
 
 devotions. The whole life of the Church is 
 centered about its Eucharistic God. The 
 Adorable Sacrament of Love is the sacred 
 fount whence flow streams of life-giving 
 grace to the thirsting souls of men. 1 1 is the 
 banquet board <T the King whereat famished 
 spirits are feasted and refreshed with the 
 immaculate Flesh of the Lamb. Here too. 
 the King of heaven holds His court, harken- 
 ing to the pleadings of the needy and dis- 
 tressed. dispensing His mercy and His peace 
 with infinite bounty. 
 
 Nor to the soul that loves Jesus with a 
 generous love, is the Blessed Sacrament only 
 a storehouse of treasures to be drawn from 
 for its own enriching. It is this, indeed, but 
 it is more. It is a living memorial of the 
 Passion and death of the world’s Redeemer, 
 arousing in the soul a desire to make a return 
 of love for love; stirring it up to repair the 
 wrong it has done and to atone for the sins 
 and insults of mankind. 
 
 To aid the faithful in their sacred duty to- 
 wards their Eucharistic God. holy Mother 
 Church has provided many inspiring forms of 
 devotion. Outstanding amongst them all in 
 the simple beauty of its ceremonial and the 
 abundance of its spiritual fruitfulness, is the 
 Forty-Hours' Adoration. 
 
 This beautiful devotion is celebrated in 
 memory of the forty hours during which the 
 
 Page 5 
 
sacred Body of Jesus reposed in the sepulchre. 
 Enthroned amid lights and lilies, and sur- 
 rounded by the adoring faithful, or carried in 
 solemn procession amidst the joyful sound of 
 sacred song borne heavenward from prayerful 
 lips, or offered in holy Sacrifice upon the altar, 
 Jesus the King of kings, receives the homage 
 of His children, pleads their cause with His 
 heavenly Father, and pours the riches of His 
 precious grace into their needy souls. 
 
 T 'he origin of this inspiring 
 devotion may be traced to 
 the early part of the sixteenth century. The 
 year 1527 saw the city of Milan in the throes 
 of despair. Already terribly scourged by 
 disease and famine, there now hung over it 
 the added horror of threatened invasion by 
 the imperial army which had recently sacked 
 the city of Rome. In their extremity the 
 people had recourse to prayer. Led by a 
 holy priest, they gathered in the church, and 
 there before the tabernacle, knelt in adoration, 
 begging their hidden God to avert the impend- 
 ing evil. For forty consecutive hours groups 
 of faithful adorers alternately" kept their 
 prayerful watch. Their prayer was heard; 
 Milan was spared and peace was restored to 
 its people. 
 
 Such was the beginning of this great devo- 
 tion. At first it was marked by the utmost 
 simplicity. No pomp or ceremony attended 
 it. The Blessed Sacrament was not exposed, 
 but the people adored before the tabernacle. 
 Thus it continued for the first decade after its 
 institution.

 Ambrose and St. Gregory) and

In the year 1537 Milan was again in a state 
 of dire distress. Not only were there perils 
 impending from without, but the moral 
 degradation into which the people had fallen 
 threatened to call down upon their unhappy 
 heads the wrath of an angry God. In this new 
 hour of peril. Fra Giuseppe da Ferno, a saintly 
 Capuchin friar, appealed to the people to 
 again have recourse to the Forty Hours’ 
 Prayer to win God’s mercy. But he proposed 
 to surround it with greater solemnity that it 
 might do greater honor to the Most High. 
 Accordingly the Blessed Sacrament was ex- 
 posed for the adoration of the faithful; 
 solemn processions were instituted, hymns 
 and psalms were chanted, and every mark of 
 exterior pomp and ceremony added to lend 
 grandeur to the devotion. 
 
 Again the effect was marvelous. Not only 
 was the city saved, but the spirit of paganism 
 which was fast undermining the faith of the 
 people, and wreaking its devastating influence 
 upon society was checked and religion again 
 became the all-important thing of life. The 
 Eucharistic King was once again enthroned 
 in the hearts of His people. 
 
 CHARACTERISTICS 
 OF THE 
 DEVOTION 
 
 To appreciate more 
 fully the true significance 
 of the devotion, it will be 
 
 well to note the characteristics which marked 
 its origin. Begun in an hour of misery, it was 
 a cry of distress of the human heart to God 
 when earthly assistance proved of no avail; 
 it was a prayer for peace when all was sorrow 
 and unrest. It was also a penitential act; an 
 
 Page 8 
 
humble atonement of sin to ward off the Di- 
 vine wrath, and a sincere resolution of future 
 amendment. No less was it a sacred memorial 
 of the passion and death of the world’s Re- 
 deemer; an awakening of a sense of loyalty to 
 Christ by recalling all that He suffered for 
 mankind. 
 
 Fostered by the clergy. 
 
 DEVOTION the devotion qu i c kl y 8prea d 
 
 to other cities of Italy, and in 1551, through 
 the zeal of Saint Philip Neri, was established 
 in Rome. Here, by an Apostolic Constitu- 
 tion of Clement VIII, dated Nov. 25, 1592, 
 provision was made that exposition should be 
 had in continuous succession in the different 
 churches of the city. 
 
 Pope Paul V, in 1606, confirmed the Con- 
 stitution of Clement VIII, and by a new 
 Decree, established the Devotion in per- 
 petuity. From time to time succeeding 
 Pontiffs added regulations for the right order- 
 ing of the devotion, and in 1707, Pope Clement 
 XI, having gathered and rearranged all that 
 had been decreed by his predecessors, pub- 
 lished his “Clementine Instruction,” an 
 elaborate ceremonial code wherein everything 
 concerning' the Forty Hours’ Prayer is speci- 
 fied in detail. In the city of Rome this code 
 is of strict obligation; elsewhere it serves as a 
 directive norm or rule to be observed where 
 possible.

from so salutary a devotion, introduced it 
 into the diocese of Philadelphia. F'ive years 
 later, in 1858, it was begun in the Arch- 
 diocese of Baltimore, and at length, in 1866, 
 the Plenary Council of Baltimore gave it 
 formal approbation for all Dioceses of the 
 United States. However, owing to condi- 
 tions, it was deemed impossible to observe 
 strictly all the details of the Clementine 
 Instruction. Hence a petition was made to 
 the Holy See by The Most Reverend F. P. 
 Kenrick, Archbishop of Baltimore, asking 
 that certain modifications be granted. In 
 reply, the Holy Father, by a rescript dated 
 December 10, 1857, made the following con- 
 cessions to all the Dioceses of the United 
 States: First — The Exposition of the Blessed 
 Sacrament may be interrupted during the 
 night. Second— In case of necessity, the 
 procession may be omitted. Third — The 
 faithful may gain all the indulgences granted 
 to those who assist at the devotion when 
 conducted strictly according to the Clemen- 
 tine Instruction. 
 
 A vrfrml? E " Since the first recognition of the 
 VOTiON devotion by the Church, various 
 Pontiffs have given it further encouragement 
 by enriching it with holy indulgences, both 
 Plenary, (full remission of the temporal 
 punishment due to sin) and Partial, (remis- 
 sion of part of the temporal punishment due 
 to sin). These Indulgences, applicable to 
 the holy souls, are as follows: 
 
 A Plenary Indulgence to all who, after 
 Confession and Communion, (in the church 
 
 Page I I 
 
of Exposition or elsewhere) shall visit the 
 Blessed Sacrament Exposed, on one of the 
 three days, and pray for the intention of the 
 Holy Father. 
 
 An Indulgence of ten years and ten times 
 forty days, for every visit made with true 
 contrition and a firm purpose of going to 
 confession. 
 
 In the church where the Exposition takes 
 place, all the altars are privileged, i.e., in addi- 
 tion to the ordinary fruits of the Eucharistic 
 Sacrifice, a Plenary Indulgence is granted for 
 every Mass offered on such altars. 
 
 To participate to the 
 THE D EVOTION f u H es t extent in the 
 
 fruits of this devotion, we must assist at it 
 in a spirit of lively faith, of ardent love for 
 our Eucharistic King, with true contrition 
 for our own sins and the sins of the world, 
 accompanied by a sincere purpose of amend- 
 ing our lives and atoning for our past 
 infidelity.- A complete renovation of spirit 
 should be the result in each individual soul. 
 
 We must also bear in mind that the Prayer 
 is a cry of the Church for her own needs and 
 the needs of her children. Hence we must 
 during this time awaken within our hearts a 
 spirit of universal charity. This can be best 
 accomplished by assisting at the Solemn 
 Mass which marks the beginning of each day’s 
 ceremony; by following the sacred ritual with 
 which the Devotion is surrounded; by par- 
 ticipating (when the custom prevails) in the 
 solemn processions and by joining fervently 
 in the public prayers which are recited.

Frequent visits to our Eucharistic Lord 
 should also be made, if possible, during the 
 hours of Exposition. 
 
 Thus shall the faithful soul, participating 
 in the inspiring liturgical functions of this 
 charming devotion, or kneeling in silent com- 
 munion with our Adorable Saviour exposed in 
 His Sacrament of Love, render to God an 
 act of homage most pleasing to the Divine 
 Majesty, and win for itself and the Church 
 untold graces and blessings. 
 
 That this may be the better accomplished 
 is the object of this little work. May our 
 Eucharistic Saviour deign to bless it, and by 
 its means, draw many souls to a deeper 
 appreciation of His sweet Sacrament of Love.

THE At solemn Mass now follows the Epistle which it 
 EPISTLE chanted by the Subdeacon . 
 
 Sit 
 
 L ectio Epistolae 
 
 beati Pauli Apos- 
 toli ad Corinthios. 
 1 Cor. xi 23-29. 
 Fratres: Ego enim 
 
 accepi a Domino 
 quod et tradidi vobis, 
 quoniam Dominus 
 Jesus in qua nocte 
 tradebatur, accepit 
 panem, et gratias 
 agens fregit, et dixit; 
 Accipite, et mandu- 
 cate: hoc est corpus 
 meum, quod pro vobis 
 tradetur: hoc facite in 
 meam commemora- 
 tionem. Similiter et 
 calicem, postquam 
 coenavit dicens: Hic 
 calix novum testa-

 bibetis, in meam 
 commemorationem . 
 Quotiescumque enim

 T HE Lesson is 
 taken from the' 
 Epistle of Saint Paul 
 to the Corinthians. 
 
 1 Cor. xi 23-29. 
 Brethren: I have re- 
 ceived of the Lord, 
 that which also 1 
 have delivered to 
 you, that the Lord 
 Jesus, the same night 
 in which He was be- 
 trayed, took bread, 
 and giving thanks, 
 broke, and said. Take 
 ye, and eat: this is 
 My body, which shall 
 be delivered for you; 
 this do for the com- 
 memoration of Me. 
 
 In like manner also 
 the chalice, after He 
 had supped, saying. 
 This chalice is the 
 new testament in My 
 blood; this do ye. as 
 often as you shall 
 drink, for the com- 
 memoration of Me. 
 For as often as you 
 shall eat this bread, j 
 and drink this chal- 
 ice, you shall show

verit panem hunc, 
 vel biberit calicem 
 Domini indigne, reus 
 erit corporis et san- 
 guinis Domini. Pro- 
 bet autem seipsum 
 homo: et sic de pane 
 illo edat, et de calice 
 bibat. Qui enim 
 manducat et bibit in- 
 digne, judicium sibi 
 manducat et bibit: 
 non dijudicans cor- 
 pus Domini. 
 
 the death of the 
 Lord until he come. 
 Therefore, whosoever 
 shall eat this bread, 
 or drink of the chalice 
 of the Lord un- 
 worthily, shall be 
 guilty of the body 
 and of the blood of 
 the Lord. But let a 
 man prove himself : 
 and so let him eat of 
 that bread, and drink 
 of the chalice. For 
 
 he that eateth and drmketh unworthily, eat- 
 eth and drinketh judgment to himself, not 
 discerning the body of the Lord. 
 
 R. Deo Gratias. Thanks be to God. 
 
 THE The Gradual is the prayer following the Epistle said 
 GRADUAL in a low tone by the celebrant . 
 
 Psalm 144, 15-16. 
 Oculi omnium in te 
 sperant, Domine: et 
 tu das illis escam in 
 tempore opportuno. 
 V. Aperis tu manum 
 tuam: et imples omne 
 animal benedictione. 
 Alleluja, alleluja. V. 
 
 Joann. VI. 56-57. 
 Caro mea vere est 
 cibus, et sanguis 
 meus vere est potus: 
 Qui manducat meam 
 
 Ps. 144, 15-16. The 
 eyes of all hope in 
 Thee, O Lord, and 
 Thou givest them 
 meat in due season. 
 V. Thou openest Thy 
 hand, and flllest 
 every living creature 
 with Thy blessing. 
 Alleluia, alleluia. V. 
 
 John yi. 56-57. 
 My flesh is meat in- 
 deed, and My blood 
 is drink indeed : he 
 that eateth My flesh 
 
 Page 25 
 
carnem, et bibit and drinketh My 
 
 meum sanguinem, in blood, abideth in Me, 
 
 me manet, et ego in and I in him, Al- 
 eo. Alleluja. leluia. 
 
 After Septuagesima, instead of Alleluia and V, is said: 
 
 Tract. Mai. I. II* 
 From the rising of 
 the sun even to the 
 going down. My name 
 is great among the 
 gentiles. V. And 
 in every place there 
 is sacrifice, and there 
 is offered to My 
 name a clean offer- 
 ing: for My name is 
 great among the gen- 
 tiles. V. Prov. IX, 5. 
 Come, eat My bread 
 and drink the wine 
 which I have mingled 
 for you. 
 
 During the Octave of Corpus Christi, the Lauda Sion is said after 
 the Gradual . 
 
 LAUDA SION 
 
 S ION, lift thy voice and sing. 
 
 Praise thy Saviour and thy King, 
 
 Praise with hymns thy shepherd true. 
 Strive thy best to praise him well; 
 
 Yet doth he thy praise excel, 
 
 Never canst thou reach his due. 
 
 See today before us laid 
 Living and life-giving bread, 
 
 Tractus. Malach.

Theme for praise and joy profound. 
 Bread which at the sacred board 
 Was, by our Incarnate Lord, 
 
 Given to His Apostles round. 
 
 Let the praise be loud and high; 
 
 Full and tranquil be the joy 
 Felt today in every breast 
 On this festival divine. 
 
 Which records the origin 
 Of the glorious Eucharist. 
 
 On this table of the King, 
 
 Our new paschal offering 
 Brings to the end the olden rite; 
 
 Here, for empty shadows fled. 
 
 Is reality instead: 
 
 Here, instead of darkness, light. 
 
 His own act at supper seated, 
 
 Christ ordained to be repeated. 
 
 In his memory divine: 
 
 Wherefore now, with adoration, 
 
 We the Host of our salvation 
 Consecrate from bread and wine. 
 
 Hear what holy Church maintaineth 
 That the bread its substance changeth 
 Into Flesh, the wine to Blood. 
 
 Doth it pass thy comprehending? 
 Faith, the law of sight transcending. 
 Leaps to things not understood. 
 
 Here beneath these signs are hidden 
 Priceless things, to sense forbidden, 
 Signs, not things, are all we see. 
 
 Page 27 
 
Flesh from bread, and Blood from wine. 
 Yet is Christ in either sign, 
 
 All entire, confessed to be. 
 
 They too who of him partake. 
 
 Sever not, nor rend, nor break. 
 
 But entire their Lord receive. 
 
 Whether one or thousands eat. 
 
 All receive the selfsame meat. 
 
 Nor the less for others leave. 
 
 Both the wicked and the good 
 Eat of this celestial food; 
 
 But with ends how opposite ! 
 
 Here ’tis life, and there ’tis death. 
 
 The same, yet issuing to each 
 In a difference infinite. 
 
 Nor a single doubt retain, 
 
 When they break the host in twain 
 But that in each part remains, 
 
 What was in the whole before; 
 
 Since the simple sign alone 
 Suffers change in state or form. 
 
 The signified remaining one 
 And the same for evermore. 
 
 Lo ! upon the altar lies. 
 
 Hidden deep from human eyes, 
 
 Bread of angels from the skies. 
 
 Made the food of mortal man, 
 Children's meat, to dogs denied, 
 
 In old types foresignified; 
 
 In the manna heaven-supplied, 
 
 Isaac and the Paschal Lamb. 
 
 Jesu ! Shepherd of the sheep. 
 
 Thou Thy flock in safety keep. 
 
 Page 28 
 
Living Bread! thy life supply; 
 
 Strengthen us or else we aie; 
 
 Fill us with celestial grace: 
 
 Thou, who feedest us below ! 
 
 Source of all we have or know ! 
 
 Grant that with thy saints above. 
 
 Sitting at the feast of love. 
 
 We may see thee face to face. 
 
 Amen. Alleluia. 
 
 At Eastertide, instead of the Gradual, is said: 
 
 Alleluja, alleluja. 
 V. Luc. XXIV. 35. 
 Cognoverunt disci- 
 puli Dominum Jesum 
 in fractione panis. Al- 
 leluja. V. Joann. VI. 
 56-57. Caro mea 
 vere est cibus, et 
 sanguis meus vere 
 est potus: qui man- 
 ducat meam carnem 
 et bibit meum san- 
 guinem, in me manet, 
 et ego in eo. Al- 
 leluja. 
 
 Alleluia, alleluia. 
 V. Luke XXIV. 35. 
 The disciples knew 
 the Lord Jesus in 
 the breaking of the 
 bread. Alleluia. V. 
 John VI. 56-57. Mv 
 
 flesh is meat indeed, 
 and My blood is 
 drink indeed: he that 
 eateth My flesh and 
 drinketh My blood 
 abideth in Me and I 
 in him. Alleluia. 
 
 The book t* removed by the subdeacon to the Gospel side of the altar 
 While this is being done the celebrant bows down and says the 
 “ Munda cor m«um. M The people remain seated. 
 
 Munda cor meum, 
 ac labia mea, omnipo- 
 tens Deus, qui la- 
 bia Isaiae prophetae 
 calculo mundasti

 and vouchsafe in Thy 
 loving kindness so to 
 purify me that I may 
 be enabled worthily 
 to announce Thy 
 holy Gospel. 
 
 Through Christ our 
 Lord. Amen. 
 
 Vouchsafe. O Lord, 
 to bless me. 
 
 The Lord be in my 
 heart and on my lips 
 that I may worthily 
 and becomingly an- 
 nounce His Gospel. 
 Amen 
 
 THE Then going to the hook <*t the Gospel tide of the altar, the 
 GOSPEL celebrant reads the Gospel in a low tone, beginning in 
 this wise: 
 
 Sit 
 
 P. Dominus vo- 
 biscum. 
 
 R, Et cum spiritu 
 tuo. 
 
 P. Sequentia sanc- 
 ti Evangelii secun- 
 dum Joannem. 
 
 R. Gloria tibi, Do- 
 mine. 
 
 Joann, vi 56-59. 
 In illo tempore; Dixit 
 Jesus turbis Judaeo- 
 rum: Caro mea vere 
 est cibus, et sanguis 
 meus vere est potus. 
 
 The Lord be with 
 you. 
 
 And with thy 
 spirit. 
 
 The continuation 
 of the holy Gospel 
 according to Saint 
 John. 
 
 Glory be to Thee, 
 O Lord. 
 
 John vi. 56-59. At 
 that time: Jesus said 
 to the multitudes of 
 the Jews; My flesh is 
 meat indeed, and My 
 blood is drink indeed. 
 
 Page 30 
 
Qui manducat meam 
 carnem, et bibit 
 meum sanguinem, in 
 me manet, et ego in 
 illo. Sicut misit me 
 vivens Pater, et ego 
 vivo propter Patrem; 
 et qui manducat me, 
 et ipse vivet propter 
 me. Hic est panis, 
 qui de caelo descen- 
 dit. Non sicut man- 
 ducaverunt patres 
 vestri manna, et mor- 
 tui sunt. Qui man- 
 ducat hunc panem, 
 vivet in aeternum. 
 
 /{. Laus tibi, 
 Christi. 
 
 He that eateth My 
 flesh, and drinketh 
 My blood, abideth in 
 me, and I in him. As 
 the living Father 
 hath sent Me, and I 
 live by the Father, 
 so he that eateth Me, 
 the same also shall 
 live by Me. This is 
 the bread that came 
 down from heaven. 
 Not as your fathers 
 did eat manna and 
 are dead. He that 
 eateth this bread 
 shall live for ever. 
 
 Praise be to Thee, 
 O Christ. 
 
 At solemn Mass, after the celebrant has completed the reading of 
 the Gospel in a low tone of coice, he puts incense into the censer 
 and blesses it. Then the deacon, kneeling on the altar-step, repeats 
 the prayer “ Munda cor meum" as above, and, taking the book of 
 the holy Gospels from the altar, he kneels before the celebrant and 
 asks his blessing: 
 
 Jube, domne, bene- Pray, my Lord, a 
 dicere. blessing. 
 
 The celebrant, blessing him, responds: 
 
 Dominus sit in 
 corde tuo, et in labiis 
 tuis: ut digne et 
 
 competenter annun- 
 ties Evangeiium 
 suum: In nomine Pa- 
 tris, et Filii, et Spiri- 
 tus Sancti. Arnen. 
 
 The Lord be in thy 
 heart and on thy lips, 
 that thou mayest 
 worthily and becom- 
 ingly announce His 
 Gospel. In the name 
 of the Father, and of 
 the Son, and of the 
 Holy Ghost. Amen. 
 
 Pa«r 31 
 
Stand Then, accompanied by the other ministers with lights and 
 incense, the deacon goes to the place appointed on the Gospel 
 side in the sanctuary, sings the customary salutation, " Dominus 
 Oobis’um,” announces ihz Gospel, signs the book and himself with 
 the Sign of the Cross, incenses the book and proceeds to sing the 
 Gospel as given before. During this time, the celebrant stands with 
 hands joined facing the place where the deacon is singing the Gospel. 
 At the end of the Gospel the subdeacon carries the book to the celebrant 
 at the altar, who kisses, it and says the prayer: 
 
 Per evangelica die- May our sins be 
 ta deleantur nostra blotted out by the 
 delicta. words of the Holy 
 
 Gospel. 
 
 Then the deacon incenses the celebrant. 
 
 THE CREDO After the Gospel, the celebrant, standing at the mid - 
 Stand die of the altar, intones the Credo and continues 
 its recital in a low tone. 
 
 Sit The Credo is then taken up and sung by the choir during which 
 the celebrant and his ministers sit until it is terminated.

 In solemn Mass, shortly before the end of the Credo, the deacon 
 rises and bowing to the celebrant carries ike burse containing the 
 corporal to the altar and spreads the corporal before the tabernacle 
 He then returns to his seat. 
 
 At the end of the Credo the celebrant proceeds to the Offertory. He 
 pisses the altar ; then turning to the people, he salutes them singing 
 
 P. Dominus vobis- 
 cum. 
 
 R . Et cum spiritu 
 tuo. 
 
 The Lord be with 
 you. 
 
 And with thy 
 spirit. 
 
 Then, turning again to the altar, he continues; 
 
 P . Oremus. Let us pray. 
 
 He then reads the Psalm-verse appointed. 
 
 THE OFFERTORY 
 
 •$«* Levit, xxi 6. Sacer- 
 dotes Domini incen- 
 sum et panes offerunt 
 Deo: et ideo sancti 
 erunt Deo suo, et 
 non polluent nomen 
 ejus. 
 
 Lev. xxi 6. The 
 priests of the Lord 
 offer incense and 
 loaves to God, and 
 therefore they shall 
 be holy to their God, 
 and shall not defile 
 His name. 
 
 The celebrant then takes the paten on which rest two hosts, one for 
 the priest's communion, the other for the exposition, and makes 
 the oblation, saying : (In solemn Mass, while the preceding prayer 
 is being read, the subdeacon, with the humeral veil about his shoul- 
 ders, carries the chalice with its appurtenances from the credence 
 table to the altar. ) 
 
 Page 34 
 
S uscipe, sancte 
 
 Pater, omnipo- 
 tens aeterne Deus, 
 hanc immaculatam 
 hostiam, quam ego 
 dignus famulus 
 tuus offero tibi, Deo 
 meo vivo et vero, pro 
 innumerabilibus pec- 
 catis, et offensionibus 
 et negligentiis meis, 
 et pro omnibus cir- 
 cumstantibus, sed et

 R eceive, o holy 
 
 Father, almigh ty 
 and eternal God, this 
 spotless host, which I, 
 Thy unworthy ser- 
 vant, offer unto Thee, 
 my living and true 
 God, for my count- 
 less sins, trespasses 
 and omissions, like- 
 wise for all here pres- 
 ent; and for ail faith- 
 ful Christians, wheth- 
 er living or dead, 
 that it may avail 
 both me and them to 
 salvation unto life 
 everlasting. Amen. 
 
 The celebrant mak.es the Sign of the Cross with the paten and places 
 the hosts upon the corporal. He then pours Wine and water into 
 the chalice (in solemn Mass the deacon serves the wine — the sub- 
 deacon the water) and recites the prayer: 
 
 Deus, qui humanae 
 substantiae dignita- 
 tem mirabiliter con- 
 didisti, et mirabilius

 The celebrant then offers

 : chalice with the words: 
 
 We offer unto 
 Thee, O Lord, the 
 chalice of salvation, 
 beseeching Thy clem- 
 ency that it may 
 ascend as a sweet 
 odor before Thy di- 
 vine majesty, for our 
 own salvation, and 
 for that of the whole 
 world. Amen. 
 
 In solemn Mass the subdeacon receives the paten, covers it with 
 the veil, and holding it thus, retires to the center of the altar at the 
 foot of the steps where he remains until towards the end of the 
 Paler Noster. 
 
 The celebrant forms the Sign of the Cross with the chalice, places 
 it upon the corporal, covers it, bows and says: 
 
 In spiritu humili- 
 tatis, et in animo 
 contrito, suscipiamur 
 a te, Domine: et sic 
 fiat sacrificium nos- 
 trum in conspectu 
 tuo hodie, ut placeat 
 tibi, Domine Deus. 
 
 Humbled in mind, 
 and contrite of heart, 
 may we find favor 
 with Thee, O Lord: 
 and may the sacrifice 
 we this day offer up 
 be well-pleasing to 
 Thee, W r ho art our 
 Lord and our God. 
 
 Page 36 
 
The ct kb rant bkssei the offering and says: 
 
 Veni, sanctificator, 
 omnipotens aeterne 
 Deus, et benedic ^ 
 hoc sacrificium tuo 
 sancto nomini prae- 
 paratum. 
 
 Come, Thou, th£ 
 sanctifier. God al- 
 mighty and everlast- 
 ing; bless 4s this sac- 
 rifice which is pre- 
 pared foi the glory of 
 Thy holy name. 
 
 In solemn Mass, incense is then blessed , the celebrant saying: 
 
 Per intercessionem 
 beati Michaelis arch- 
 angeli stantis a dex- 
 teris altaris incensi, 
 et omnium electorum 
 suorum. incensum 
 istud dignetur Do-

 By the intercession 
 of blessed Michael 
 the archangel, who 
 standeth at the right

 this incense, and to 
 receive it for an odor 
 of sweetness.

 Lord. Amen. 
 
 He incenses the bread and wine on the altar with the wards: 
 
 Incensum istud a 
 te benedictum, ascen- 
 dat ad te Domine, et 
 descendat super nos 
 misericordia tua. 
 
 May this incense, 
 blessed by Thee, as- 
 cend before Thee. O 
 Lord, and may Thy 
 mercy descend upon 
 us. 
 
 He then incenses the altar, saying: 
 
 Dirigatur» Domine, Let my prayer be 
 oratio mea, sicut in- directed, O Lord, as 
 censum, in conspectu incense, in Thy sight: 
 
 Pa*e 37 
 
tuo; elevatio ma- 
 nuum mearum sacri- 
 ficium vespertinum. 
 Pone, Domine, cus- 
 todiam ori meo, et 
 ostium circumstan- 
 tiae labiis meis; ut 
 non declinet cor 
 meum in verba mali- 
 tiae, ad excusandas 
 excusationes in pec- 
 catis. 
 
 the lifting up of my 
 hands as an evening 
 sacrifice. Set a 
 watch, O Lord, be- 
 fore my mouth: and 
 a door round about 
 my lips: that my 
 
 heart may not incline 
 to evil words : to 
 
 make excuses in sins. 
 
 The celebrant returns the thurible to the deacon . saying: 
 
 Accendat in nobis 
 Dominus ignem sui 
 amoris, et flammam 
 aeternae caritatis. 
 Arnen. 
 
 May the Lord en- 
 kindle in us the fire 
 of His love and the 
 flame of everlasting 
 charity. Amen. 
 
 Then the deacon incenses the celebrant, clergy and the subdeacon : 
 after which he is himself incensed by the thurifer, who lastly in- 
 censes the laity. 
 
 Stand Lastly the people are incensed. 
 
 Sit After the offering of the chalice (in solemn Mass, after the 
 incensation ) the celebrant, standing at the Epistle side of the 
 altar, washes his fingers, saying: 
 
 Lavabo inter in- 
 nocentes manus meas: 
 et circumdabo altare 
 tuum, Domine. 
 
 Ut audiam vocem 
 laudis: et enarrem 
 
 universa mirabilia 
 
 tua. 
 
 I will wash my 
 hands among the in- 
 nocent : and will com- 
 pass Thine altar, O 
 Lord. 
 
 That I may hear 
 the voice of praise: 
 and tell of all Thy 
 wondrous works. 
 
 Paure 38 
 
Domine, dilexi de- 
 corem domus tuae, et 
 locum habitationis 
 gloriae tuae. 
 
 Ne perdas cum im- 
 piis, Deus, animam 
 meam: et cum viris 
 sanguinum vitam 
 meam. 
 
 In quorum mani- 
 bus iniquitates sunt: 
 dextera eorum re- 
 pleta est muneribus. 
 
 Ego autem in in- 
 nocentia mea ingres- 
 sus sum: redime me, 
 et miserere mei. 
 
 Pes meus stetit in 
 directo : in ecclesiis 
 
 benedicam te, Do- 
 mine. 
 
 Gloria Patri, et 
 Filio, et Spiritui 
 sancto. 
 
 Sicut erat in prin- 
 cipio, et nunc, et 
 semper; et in saecula 
 saeculorum. Arnen. 
 
 I have loved, O 
 Lord, the beauty of 
 Thy house, and the 
 place where Thy 
 glory dwelleth. 
 
 Take not away my 
 soul, O God, with the 
 wicked: nor my life 
 with men of blood. 
 
 In whose hands are 
 iniquities; their right 
 hand is filled with 
 gifts. 
 
 But as for me, 1 
 have walked in my 
 innocence : redeem 
 
 me, and have mercy 
 on me. 
 
 My foot hath stood 
 in the direct way: in 
 the churches I will 
 bless Thee, O Lord. 
 
 Glory be to the 
 Father, and to the 
 Son, and to the Holy 
 Ghost. 
 
 As it was in the 
 beginning, is now, 
 and ever shall be : 
 world without end. 
 Amen. 
 
 The celebrant returns to the middle of the altar . bows and says:

 lead us not into 
 temptation. 
 
 But deliver us from 
 evil.

 At solemn Mass . the deacon, towards the end of the Pater Noster, 
 goes to the right hand of the celebrant, where he awaits the approach 
 of the subdeacon, from whom he receives the paten, which he puts 
 into the hands of the celebrant. 
 
 Holding the paten, the celebrant says:

 the tabernacle. He then genuflects in adoration and proceeds 
 with the Mass. 
 
 During the rest of the Mass the celebrant genuflects before the Blessed

 as also before and after turning towards the people.

 in vitam aeternam. 
 Amen. 
 
 May the body of

 O Lord, may we re- 
 ceive the heavenly 
 food which has 
 passed our lips; be- 
 stowed upon us in 
 time, may it be the 
 healing of our souls 
 for eternity. 
 
 The celebrant consumes the ablution, goes to the Epistle side where 
 wine and water are poured over his fingers into the chalice, and says: 
 
 Corpus tuum, Do-

 THE PROCESSION 
 
 After the last Gospel, the celebrant takes off the chasuble and puts 
 on the cope. He then goes to the altar and incenses the Blessed 
 Sacrament. After the incensation he receives the humeral veil 
 about his shoulders and, ascending tolhc altar, takes the Ostensorium 
 in his hands and turns toward the people. {If there are three 
 Ministers, the Deacon puts the ceil about the celebrant's shoulders 
 and places the Ostensorium in his hands.) 
 
 As soon as the celebrant turns toward the people, the procession 
 is begun and the hymn. Pange i ingua (Sing, my tongue ) is intoned.

 1. 
 
 Sing, my tongue, the 
 Saviour’s glory. 
 
 Of His flesh the mys- 
 tery sing: 
 
 Of the blood, all 
 price exceeding, 
 
 Shed by our immor- 
 tal King. 
 
 Destined, for the 
 world’s redemption, 
 
 From a noble womb 
 to spring.

 Of a pure and spot- i 
 less Virgin 
 
 Born for us on earth 
 below, 
 
 He, as man with man 
 conversing, 
 
 Stay’d the seeds of 
 truth to sow; 
 
 Then He clos’d in 
 solemn order 
 
 Wondrously His life 
 of woe.

 On the night of that 
 last Supper, 
 
 Seated with His cho- 
 sen band, 
 
 He, the Paschal Vic- 
 tim eating. 
 
 First fulfills the law's 
 command : 
 
 Then as food to all 
 His brethren 
 Gives Himself with 
 His own hand.

 Et si sensus deficit: 
 
 Ad firmandum cor

 Sola fides sufficit. 
 
 4 . 
 
 Word made flesh the 
 bread of nature. 
 
 By His word to flesh 
 He turns; 
 
 Wine into His blood 
 He changes: 
 
 What though sense 
 no change discerns. 
 
 Only be the heart in 
 earnest. 
 
 Faith her lesson 
 quickly learns. 
 
 When the celebrant return to the altar , the oslensorium is placed 
 on the throne ( this is done by the deacon if there are three ministers ) 
 and the choir sings the last two verses of the Pange Lingua.

 Down in adoration 
 falling, 
 
 Lo! the sacred Host

 Lo! o’er ancient 
 forms departing 
 
 Newer rites of grace 
 prevail : 
 
 Faith for all defects 
 supplying 
 
 Where the feeble 
 senses fail. 
 
 Here the Blessed Sacrament is Incensed.

 Arnen, 
 
 To the everlasting 
 Father, 
 
 And the Son who 
 reigns on high. 
 
 With the Holy Ghost 
 proceeding 
 
 Forth from each 
 eternally. 
 
 Be salvation, honor, 
 blessing, 
 
 Might and endless 
 majesty. 
 
 Amen. 
 
 At the conclusion of the Tantum Ergo, the chanters (or the celebrant 
 if there be no chanters ) intone the Litany of the Saints; the sacred 
 ministers or the choir responding. 
 
 The Litany of the Saints, in which the whole Court 
 of Heaven is called upon to succor the Church and her 
 children, is most appropriate during the Forty-Hours' 
 Prayer which is. as we have seen, a cry of distress rising 
 up to God from the afflicted souls of men.

The Third Day 
 
 THE MASS The Mass celebrated on the third day is the same as 
 that of the first day. ( See page 15.) 
 
 CLOSING After the Last Gospel, the celebrant takes off 
 CEREMONIES the chasuble and puts on the cope. He then 
 returns to the foot of the altar, where, with the sacred ministers 
 (if the service be solemn ) he kneels while the Litany of the Saints 
 (see page 76) is chanted by the chanters (or by (he celebrant, if 
 there he no chanters) and the choir. 
 
 After the prayer "Domine, exaudi orationem meam — Lord, hear 
 my prayer," and its response, the celebrant incenses the Blessed 
 Sacrament. This done, he receives the humeral, veil about his 
 shoulders, takes the monstrance in his hands, turns towards the 
 people, and the procession begins. During the procession, the 
 Pange Lingua L sung as on the first day. (See page 72). At 
 the end of (he procession the monstrance is again placed on the altar 
 and the choir sings the Tantum Ergo. (Sec page 74.) 
 
 At the "Genitori" the Blessed Sacrament is incensed as usual. 
 
 At the end of the hymn the celebrant sings the versicle: 
 
 V . Panem de coelo 
 praestitisti eis. 
 
 R. Omne delecta- 
 mentum in se haben- 
 tem. 
 
 Thou hast given 
 them bread from 
 heaven. 
 
 Replenished with 
 all sweetness and de- 
 light. 
 
 Then the celebrant rises and sings the prayers which follow the 
 Litany of the Saints. (See page 84.) When the prayers are 
 finished, Benediction is given in the usual manner, the Blessed 
 Sacrament is replaced in the tabernacle, and the ceremony ter- 
 minates. (It is quite the custom for the entire congregation to 
 sing the Te Deum “ Holy God, We Praise Thy Name" at the close 
 of the services and the words of this hymn are herewith given.) 
 Where the custom prevails of terminating the Devotion on the evening 
 of the third day. the celebrant and ministers return to the sacristy 
 as usual after Mass, and in the evening all the ceremonies prescribed 
 above are observed. 
 
 Holy God, We Praise Thy Name, 
 1 . Holy God, we praise Thy name. 
 
 Lord of all, we bow before Thee! 
 All on earth Thy sceptre claim, 
 
 All in heav'n above adore Thee.

PRAYERS AND READINGS FOR 
 VISITS TO THE BLESSED 
 SACRAMENT 
 
 During your visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, 
 strive to be natural. Let your converse be that of 
 friend with Friend. Do not bind yourself to any 
 formula; — just speak to Jesus as your love prompts. 
 Talk to Him of your joys and sorrows, of your hopes 
 and fears, your needs and your desires. If you can not 
 pray .then, kneel peacefully at the feet of Jesus confident 
 that He understands everything far better than you 
 could express it, and that He sympathizes with you 
 with all the loving ardor of His Sacred Heart. 
 
 The following thoughts and prayers,* arranged for 
 two half-hour visits in five-minute periods, but suitable 
 also for the Holy Hour, are merely suggestive and may 
 prove helpful to some souls. 
 
 First Half-Hour 
 
 FIVE MINUTES. 
 
 Prostrate yourself before the Divine Majesty, veiled 
 in the adorable Sacrament of the altar, and say from 
 the depths of your soul; 
 
 0 SACRAMENT most holy! O Sacrament 
 divine! 
 
 All praise and all thanksgiving be every 
 moment Thine!

 O MY Eucharistic Jesus, I believe Thy 
 divine word that under this appearance 
 of bread. Thou Thyself art really present as 
 Thou art in heaven. — I believe. O my Euchar- 
 istic Jesus, here present in the adorable 
 Sacrament, that Thou art the same Jesus of 
 Nazareth Who didst heal the sick, — and didst 
 raise the dead, and Who for us didst suffer, 
 and die upon the Cross.

 and all the Saints in heaven, I adore Thee 
 true God and true man, here present in the 
 Holy Eucharist. Grateful even to the very 
 depths of my soul, I ove Thee with my whole 
 heart, O Jesus, Who art infinitely perfect and 
 infinitely amiable. Enrich me with Thy

 "POME to Me, all you that labor and are 
 burdened, and I will refresh you.” — 
 Does not Jesus still address these words to 
 us from His Sacrament of Love? — Come to 
 Me, for nowhere else shall you find the rest 
 you crave. — Come to Me. you sorrow-laden, 
 for no one else can unde, tand your grief as 
 I can. — I know the weight of your cross, — 
 its special perplexities, — its aggravations. —

 Sweet is our Lord in thought, sweet in ths 
 pages of the Holy Gospel, sweet in the shadowy 
 symbol or the devout picture, sweet yet more 
 in the holy crucifix, but sweeter beyond com- 
 parison in the Adorable Sacrament of His 
 Love. Wherefore the Church sings in the 
 words of her Saint: 
 
 Jesu! the very thought of Thee, 
 
 With sweetness fills my breast: 
 
 But sweeter far Thy face to see, 
 
 And in Thy presence rest. (Oakley)

 J ESUS, knowing that His hour was come. 
 
 that He should pass out of this world to 
 the Father, having loved His own who were 
 
 Pa*e 109 
 
in the world, He loved them to the end. 
 And so at the end came the Last Supper 
 and the First Communion; for this jealous 
 Lover could not bear to leave us without a 
 keepsake, a love token, such as only God 
 could imagine, such as only God could give.

 D EAR Jesus, present in the Sacrament of 
 the altar, be forever thanked and 
 praised. Love worthy of all celestial and 
 terrestrial love! Who, out of infinite love for 
 me, ungrateful sinner, didst assume our 
 human nature, didst shed Thy most precious 
 blood in the cruel scourging, and didst expire 
 on a shameful cross for our eternal welfare! 
 Now illumined with lively faith, with the 
 outpouring of my whole soul and the fervor 
 of my heart, I humbly beseech Thee, through 
 the infinite merits of Thy painful sufferings, 
 give me strength and courage to destroy every 
 evil passion which sways my heart, to bless 
 Thee in my greatest afflictions, and to glorify 
 Thee by the exact fulfilment of all my duties, 
 supremely to hate all sin, and thus to become 
 a saint.

 A Message from the Sacred Heart: 
 
 What may its message be? 
 
 “My child, My child, give Me thy heart — 
 My Heart has bled for thee.“ 
 
 This is the message Jesus sends 
 To my poor heart today, 
 
 And eager from His throne He bends 
 To hear what I shall say.

 That home whose joy Thou art:

 Come if your heart is troubled and anxious; 
 He will calm it. — Come, trembling, guilty 
 soul; come and be pardoned.

 my heart like unto Thine.

 Speak to Jesus in the Adorable Sacrament; 
 compassionate the sufferings of His passion 
 and the shameful treatment He daily receives 
 from men in the Sacrament of His Love. 
 Men love Jesus so little. They neglect Him 
 and leave Him alone in His lonely tabernacle 
 while they give themselves over to lives of 
 pleasure and sin You wish to make repara- 
 tion. The best means is to become very holy

 L ISTEN to Jesus speaking to your soul: — 
 In order to expiate your own faults and 
 in reparation for the outrages done Me in 
 this adorable Sacrament, you must become 
 filled with lively faith and profound respect 
 toward My Majesty hidden behind these 
 sacred veils. Everything about the altar 
 must speak to you of this. The lamp which 
 ever burns before Me tells you that I am 
 present. The sanctuary, enclosed and silent, 
 reminds you of My sanctity and union with 
 God. The tabernacle tells you pf My love 
 of the hidden life. The purity of the sacred 
 vessels warns you that I look for purity in 
 your soul. 
 
 Reflect and make resolutions.

 committed, as well as for all such acts that 
 ever have been done by others, or that may 
 be done in ages yet to come. I adore Thee, 
 my God, not indeed as Thou deservest, nor 
 as much as I am bound to adore Thee, but 
 as far as I am able; and 1 would that I could 
 adore Thee with all the perfection of which a 
 reasonable creature is capable. Meantime I 
 purpose now and ever to adore Thee, not only 
 for those Catholics who adore and love Thee 
 not, but also for the conversion of all bad 
 Christians, and ,of all heretics, schismatics, 
 Mohammedans, Jews and idolaters. Jesus, 
 my God, mayest Thou be ever known, adored, 
 loved and praised every moment in the

 A LL that is good and pure in human love 
 is realized on a transcendent scale in the 
 love divine. There are many touching tales 
 in poetry, founded on the prose of real life, 
 telling how kings and princes assumed a 
 lowly disguise in order to win the true love of 
 lowly maidens who loved them for their own 
 sake and not for the rank and wealth which 
 they were startled and grieved to discover, 
 and from which they shrank when their royal 
 suitors insisted on raising them to their own 
 height and sharing everything with them. In 
 like manner the Divine Lover of our souls has 
 descended to our level, has disguised Himself 
 in oar lowly human nature, that He may win 
 our familiar and tender love. He, too, will 
 elevate His low-born spouse to a crown of 
 heavenly glory.

 THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES: 
 
 First Mystery: The Agony in the Carden. 
 
 Divine Saviour, under the weight of sorrow 
 and sadness caused by our sins, Thou fallest, 
 bathed in a sweat of blood, and Thou endurest 
 a mortal agony. In the Blessed Sacrament, 
 also. Thou art still more humbled and an- 
 nihilated on account of our sins. 
 
 We adore Thee and we compassionate Thy 
 agony of suffering in the Garden of Geth- 
 semane as well as Thy agony of humiliation in 
 the Eucharist, and we beg of Thee, through 
 the intercession of Thy holy Mother, a heart- 
 felt sorrow for our sins. 
 
 Recite slowly and devoutly the first decade. Then* 
 for the souls in Purgatory, say the De Profundis : 
 
 O ut of the depths I have cried unto Thee, O 
 Lord: Lord, hear my voice. 
 
 Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of 
 my supplication. 
 
 If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark our iniquities: 
 O Lord, who shall stand it? 
 
 For with Thee there is mercy: and by reason 
 of Thy law I have waited on Thee, O Lord. 
 My soul hath waited on His word: my soul 
 hath hoped in the Lord.

From the morning watch even unto night:

 them.

 Second Mystery: The Scourging at the Pillar. 
 
 O Good Jesus! scourged and covered with 
 wounds, the sins committed by men against 
 the holy virtue of purity thus torture Thy 
 innocent flesh; and in the Blessed Sacrament 
 impure hearts insult Thee by their sacri- 
 legious communions. 
 
 O Thou bloody Victim, scourged at the 
 pillar, patient Victim, abused in the adorable 
 Sacrament of the altar, we adore Thee and we 
 beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy 
 holy Mother, the grace of mortifying our 
 senses. 
 
 Recite slowly and devoutly the second decade. Then 
 eay the Anima Christi : 
 
 S OUL of Christ, sanctify me. 
 
 Body of Christ, save me. 
 
 Blood of Christ, inebriate me. 
 
 Water from the side of Christ, wash me. 
 Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

 Within Thy wounds hide me. 
 
 Permit me not to be separated from Thee 
 From the malignant enemy defend me.

 Third Mystery: The Crowning With Thorns . 
 
 O King of Glory! crowned with thorns and 
 proclaimed in derision king of the Jews by 
 brutal soldiers who ignominiously spit upon 
 Thy adorable face. Thou fallest a victim to 
 the sins committed by pride; in the. Blessed 
 Sacrament also Thou bearest a crown of 
 ignominy made up of the many acts of 
 irreverence, contempt, hypocrisy, and vanity 
 committed by Christians in Thy sanctuary. 
 
 O loving King! overwhelmed with insults 
 both in Thy passion and in the Sacred Host, 
 we adore Thee, and we beg of Thee, through 
 the intercession of Thy holy Mother, the 
 grace of mortifying our self-love. 
 
 Recite slowly and devoutly the third decade. Then 
 ponder prayerfully over the following; 
 
 J ESUS as though Thyself wert here, 
 
 I draw in trembling sorrow near; 
 
 And, hanging o’er Thy form divine, 
 
 Kneel down to kiss these wounds of Thine 
 
 Hail, awful brow! hail, thorny wreath! 
 
 Hail, countenance, now pale in death! 
 
 Whose glance but late so brightly blazed 
 That angels trembled as they gazed. 
 
 And hail to thee, my Saviour’s side! 
 
 And hail to thee, thou wound so wide; 
 
 Thou wound more ruddy than the rose, 
 
 True antidote of all our woes!

Oh, by those sacred hands and feet 
 For me so mangled! 1 entreat. 
 
 My Jesu, turn me not away, 
 
 But let me here for ever stay.

 Fourth Mystery: The Carrying of the Cross. 
 
 Curses, outrages, ill-treatments, anguish of 
 heart, sufferings of all kinds can not alter, 
 0 dear Redeemer, the mildness and patience 
 with which Thou carriest Thy heavy cross; 
 with like sweetness and patience dost Thou 
 bear in the long course of ages, doubts, want 
 of confidence, murmurs, insults, and dis- 
 couragement on the part of Thy children 
 0 Jesus! we adore Thee carrying with love 
 the cross prepared for Thee by Thy Father 
 and we beg of Thee, through the interces 
 sion of Thy holy Mother, patience in the 
 trials of this life. 
 
 Recite slowly an d devoutly the fourth decade. Then 
 ponder prayerfully over the following: 
 
 O THOU Mother! fount of love! 
 
 Touch my spirit from above, 
 
 Make my heart with thine accord; 
 
 Make me feel as thou hast felt. 
 
 Make my soul to glow and melt 
 With the love of Christ, my Lord 
 
 Holy mother! pierce me through; 
 
 In my heart each wound renew 
 Of my Saviour crucified; 
 
 Let me share with thee His pain, 
 
 Who for all my sins was slain, 
 
 Who for me in torments died.

Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence, 
 
 Be Thy mother tiny defence, 
 
 Be Thy cross my victory; 
 
 While my body here decays.

 Fifth Mystery: The Crucifixion and Death of Our Lord . 
 
 O Good and Merciful Saviour! Thy love, 
 more than iron nails, keeps Thee riveted to 
 the cross, whereon Thou atonest for our sins 
 in the midst of unspeakable torments. We 
 find Thee also riveted by the same love in the 
 Sacrament of the altar, continuing Thy sacri- 
 fice to the end of ages in order to apply to us 
 the fruits thereof. 
 
 Sweet Lamb, perpetually immolated for us, 
 we adore Thee, and we beg of Thee, through 
 the intercession of Thy holy Mother, such a 
 hatred of sin as will make us prefer the death 
 of the body to the staining of the soul. 
 
 Recite slowly and devoutly the fifth decade. Then 
 ponder prayerfully over the following: 
 
 H AIL to Thee! true body sprung 
 From the Virgin Mary’s womb! 
 
 The same that on the cross was hung. 
 
 And bore for man the bitter doom ! 
 
 Thou Whose side was pierced and flowed 
 Both with water and with blood; 
 
 Suffer us to taste of Thee, 
 
 In our life’s last agony.

 PRAYER TO THE EUCHARISTIC HEART 
 OF JESUS 
 
 EUCHARISTIC Heart. O sovereign lovt 
 
 of Our Lord Jesus. Who hast instituted 
 the august Sacrament in order to dwell here 
 below with us and to give to our souls Thy 
 flesh as food and Thy blood as drink, we 
 confidently trust, O Lord Jesus, in the supreme 
 love which instituted the most holy Eucharist; 
 and here, in the presence of this Victim, it is 
 just that we should adore, confess and exalt 
 this love, as the great storehouse of the life 
 of Thy Church. This love is an urgent invi- 
 tation for us, as though Thou didst say to us: 
 “See how I love you] giving you My flesh as 
 food, and My blood as drink; I desire by this 
 union to excite your charity, I desire to unite 
 you to Myself, I desire to effect the trans- 
 formation of your souls into My crucified self, 
 I Who am the bread of eternal life. Give Me, 
 then, your hearts, live in My life, and you shall 
 live in God.” 
 
 We recognize, O Lord, that such is the ap- 
 peal of Thy Eucharistic Heart, and we thank 
 Thee for it, and we desire earnestly to respond 
 to it. Grant us the grace to be keenly alive 
 to this supreme love, with which, before Thy 
 passion Thou didst invite us to receive and 
 feed upon Thy sacred body. Print deeply 
 on our souls the firm determination to re- 
 spond faithfully to this invitation. Give us 
 devotion and reverence whereby we may 
 honor and receive worthily the gift of Thy 
 supreme love, and of Thy Eucharistic Heart. 
 
 Page 1 21 
 
Grant that we may thus be able, with Thy 
 grace, to celebrate profitably the remem- 
 brance of Thy passion, to make reparation 
 for our offences and our coldness, to nourish 
 and increase our love for Thee, and to keep 
 ever living in our hearts this seed of a blessed 
 immortality. Amen.
