Concluding Offering After Communion

WHEREFORE, O Christ Jesus, in union with that all-transcending love wherewith thou didst most gratefully refer back to their unfathomable source all those streams which flowed forth from the Divinity upon thy deified Humanity, I offer thee, with the love of the whole universe of thy creatures, this most holy Sacrament, which the all-powerful sweetness of thine unsearchable Divinity drew forth from the depth of thy loving Heart, and which thou hast now vouchsafed to impart to man: beseeching thee, with the affections and the yearning desire of all creatures, that thou wouldst draw up this holy Sacrament and communion into thyself through the love of thy good and gentle Spirit, that it may render thee that eternal, immense, unceasing, unfaltering praise which thy inscrutable wisdom knoweth to beseem the transcendent majesty of God the Father, and to gladden and rejoice the goodness of thine unutterably gracious Spirit: that it may be to thee a full and adequate thanksgiving for all the good and all the grace which thou hast ever wrought, or shalt ever hereafter work, in the hearts and souls of those who receive this divine Sacrament: that it may make thee full reparation and satisfaction for all things wherein my careless preparation, my feeble desire, or my languid devotion have impaired its effect within me: and lastly, that it may give thee highest praise and thanks for that thine incomprehensible goodness hath deigned to admit me, a vile worm of earth, to this royal banquet of heavenly delights. And seeing that my nothingness can make thee no return for thine unimaginable goodness, I offer to thee now thy sweetest Heart, with all that fulness of gratitude and manifold and consummate blessedness which render it supremely, transcendently, for ever, and alone worthy of thee. Amen.
