Jesus, I offer up this day
And all my life to Thee—
My thoughts, words, prayers, and all that may Be done or borne by me.
All, all, to gain Thy heart's desires:
O light in mine its heavenly fires!

Dear Mother of Our Lord ! throughout this coming day
May'st thou be pleased with all I do and think and say!
O look on me with love, and keep sin far away!
At Mass
The Four Ends of Sacrifice
Adore till the Gospel,
Give thanks till the bell;
Till Communion ask pardon —
Then all your wants tell.
O Sacrum constutum!
O Sacred Banquet! where on Christ we feed,
The memory of His passion is recalled,
The soul is filled with grace for every need,
And heavenly glory in this pledge forestalled.
After Communion
Believe and grieve and hope, thank, love, adore,
Show your soul's wounds, and holy gifts implore.
Before Leaving Your House or Room
Lord, send me forth to do Thy will,
But let me feel Thee present still.
Before Spiritual Reading
God speaks to us through every holy page
Of uninspired or inspired sage.
O listen humbly to each counsel given,
As to a message sent to you from heaven.
