Behold, O most loving Jesus,
the wonderful extent of Your charity.
You have prepared for me,
from Your Sacred Flesh and most precious Blood,
a divine banquet,
where You gave Yourself without reserve.
O adorable Heart of my Jesus,
most ardent furnace of divine love,
receive my soul into Your most sacred Wound,
in order that,
in this school of charity,
I may learn to make a return of love to that God,
Who has given me such admirable proofs of His love.
