Though I look not on Thy wounds with Thomas,
Thee, my Lord, and Thee, my God I call:
Make me more and more believe Thy promise,
Hope in Thee, and love Thee over all.
O memorial of my Saviour dying.
Living Bread that givest life to man;
May my soul, its life from Thee supplying,
Taste Thy sweetness, as on earth it can.
Deign, O Jesus, Pelican of heaven,
Me, a sinner, in Thy blood to lave,
To a single drop of which is given
All the world from all its sin to save.
Contemplating, Lord, Thy hidden presence,
Grant me what I thirst for and implore.
In the revelation of Thine essence
To behold Thy glory evermore.
(Judge O'Hagan's translation. Vide Father Russell's "Communion Day.")
The Crown or Chaplet of the Blessed Sacrament
| V. Deus, in adjutorium meum intende. | V. O God, come to my assistance. |
| R. Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina. | R. O Lord, make haste to help me. |
Our Father, Glory be to the Father.
The chaplet consists of thirty-three aspirations, which may be used during the hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. After each aspiration may be added an Our Father, and at the end of each decade a Glory be to the Father.
