O My most blessed Savi∣our, who in the bow∣els of thy Mercy towards Mankind, didst not only offer thy self a Sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, but didst institute this heavenly and holy Sacrament, as the means to convey the Bene∣fits of thy precious death to
all such as with humility and repentance come unto thee: Accept, I beseech thee, this my humble Address, who here present my self a woful sinner, I confess, but such a one, who am heartily sorry for my sins, and penitent for my offences.
Direct me therefore, O my God, in this great action, with such a reverent and aw∣ful fear, that all the faculties of my soul may be attentive rightly to apprehend, and joyfully to receive this won∣derful Mystery of thy Body and Blood.
O my Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof; let thy Holy Spirit therefore before
thy coming prepare and dress up a Lodging for thee in my Soul, cleansing it from the stains of sin, and suffering no∣thing to abide in it, that may keep thee out; so that being wholly possest by thee, all sin∣ful thoughts, and unclean suggestions, may not only presently vanish, but never find entrance more.
Grant this, O my Jesu; and so, this day, receive me into thy favour, that I may with joy receive thee into my soul, and being once united with thee, thy Grace may never depart from me; that so thou maist live in me, and I in thee for ever.
