 JANUARY 3 Appreciation of the Blessed Sacrament |
PRAYER. Loving Savior, inflame my heart with love so that I may always receive Holy Communion with gratitude. |
|
GOD grant that we may be able ever to
come to the Blessed Sacrament with
suitable feelings. Let us not be of those
who come without reverence, without
awe, without wonder, without love.
But let us come in faith and hope. Let us say, "May this be the beginning to us of everlasting bliss!" May these be the first fruits of that banquet which is to last for ever. |
