BLESSED art Thou, O God our Father. I thank Thee with joyful heart because Thou hast vouchsafed to lead me into the mystery of the blessedness of Thy Holy Sacrament. I have taken into my hands the memorials of the Saviour's dying love. Here would I consecrate myself anew to Him; here would I make fresh vows of fidelity to His cause; here would I rise above all doubts and fears and boldly say, "Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee." O Bread and Wine of God, be Thou the joy and strength of my life, now and evermore. Amen.
