offer to Thee my heart; vouchsafe to change it, to bless and sanctify it. O my soul, how Jesus Christ hath loved us! At what a price He hath redeemed us! Not with gold, not with riches, but by the voluntary shedding of His blood. He hath sacrificed Himself for us; let us then live only for Him; let us sacrifice ourselves together with Him. O Father in Heaven, my heart is not full enough of love and fervor to be an offering worthy of Thee. What then shall I give Thee? I will give Thee Thy Son. That Son, the most worthy object of Thy complacency, will supply my inability. O Lord, look not on me, but on this divine offering.
Receive, O Holy Trinity, this oblation which we make to Thee, in memory of the Passion, resurrection, and ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and in honor of the blessed Mary, ever a Virgin, of blessed John the Baptist, of the holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and of all the saints, that it may be available to their honor and to our salvation; and may they vouchsafe to intercede for us in heaven, whose memory we celebrate upon earth. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
