BLESSED Jesus! relying on Thy mercy, I have bowed myself at Thy table, to receive the precious pledges of Thy dying love. O may Thy presence go with me from Thy holy altar, that when I return to the necessary labours and duties of the world, I may be enabled, by Thy grace, to obey Thy commandments, and to rejoice in the smiles of Thy love. Guided by Thy mercy through all the danger and trials of my pilgrimage, may I depart out of the world in peace, in a steadfast reliance on Thy merits, in the joyful hope of the fruition of the glories, of Thy kingdom, blessed Jesus, to whom, with the Father and the Holy Ghost I render all the praise of my redemption. Amen.
