he earth; grant peace and concord to the
nations; protect our country; preserve peace and love in all families.
Remember graciously my parents, brothers, sisters, and relatives, my
benefactors, my enemies, and all for whom I am in justice or charity
bound to pray.
At the Elevation
HAIL, thou body of my Saviour, conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of Mary
the immaculate Virgin! With profound humility I adore Thee. Lord, have
mercy on me!
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the precious blood of Jesus, in
satisfaction for my sins, and for the wants of holy Church.
Indulgence. 100 days, every time. (Pius VII, Sept. 22, 1817.)
After the Elevation
MOST amiable Jesus! Thou art now present on the altar, God and man,

rest in peace. (_Remember the departed for whom you intend to pray._)
To these, O Lord, and to all that sleep in Christ, grant, we beseech
Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and peace.
Also to us sinners, Thy servants, confiding in the multitude of Thy
mercies, grant some part and fellowship with Thy saints, through whose

to admit us, not in consideration of our merit, but of Thy own pardon.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

At Communion

the word, and my soul shall be healed. (_Three times._)
Spiritual Communion
O JESUS, I firmly believe that Thou art truly present in the Blessed
Sacrament. I see Thee therein full of love, willing to pardon us,
anxious to be united with us. I wish most earnestly to respond to this
Thy desire and love. I detest all the sins by which I have ever
displeased Thee. Pardon me, O Lord! I desire to receive Thee i
