Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.
O BLESSED JESUS, I long for the time when I may be permitted to draw near to Thy Altar, to receive the Holy Sacrament of Thy Body and Blood; and now I beseech Thee, by the nearness of Thy Presence and by the power of Thy Love, prepare my heart and cleanse my soul from whatever Thou findest in me, which makes me unfit to receive Thee. Amen.
