Thee, I have gone after creatures and have forgotten Thee.
I have forgotten Thee in deserted tabernacles, where Thy love languishes, in the churches of towns where Thou art outraged in the hearts of the indifferent and sacrilegious, and in my own sinful heart, O Jesus, as well when I approached to receive Thee, as after receiving Thee.
Eucharistic Heart of my Saviour, the delight of my first communion and of the days of my fidelity, I surrender to Thee. Return! Return! draw me to Thyself afresh. Pardon me yet again this time; and I shall hope everything in the strength of Thy love.
Glorious Archangel St. Michael and thou, O beloved St. John, offer my reparation to Jesus and be propitious to me. Amen.
Indulgence of 200 days each time, for each of the four Acts. — Leo XIII, February 6, 1890.
