I. I thank Thee, O divine Redeemer, that, not content with having for our sakes come upon the earth, Thou hast instituted this divine sacrament, that therein Thou mightest remain with us unto the consummation of the world.—Our Father.
II. I thank Thee, O glorious Jesus, that Thou dost veil, beneath the eucharistic species, Thy infinite majesty and beauty, which Thy angels delight to behold, that so I might have courage to approach the throne of Thy mercy.—Our Father.
III. I thank Thee, O Jesus most loving, that having made Thyself my food, Thou descendest upon this tongue, which so often has offended Thee, and dost enter within this body, which, alas! has too often deserved to be visited with Thy anger.—Our Father.
IV. I thank Thee, my dear Saviour, that in this ineffable sacrament Thou unitest me to Thee with so much love that I therein live in Thee, and Thou in me.—Our Father.
V. I thank Thee, O my Jesus, that, giving
Thyself to me in this blessed sacrament, Thou hast so enriched it with the treasures of Thy love, that Thou hast not, Thou canst not, Thou knowest not what greater gift to give me.—Our Father.
VI. I thank Thee, O my good Jesus, that not only Thou art become my food, but also in this blessed sacrament offerest Thyself a continual sacrifice for my salvation, to Thy eternal Father.—Our Father.
VII. I thank Thee, divine Priest, because every day Thou dost sacrifice Thyself upon our altars, in adoration and homage to the Most Blessed Trinity, and dost supply for our poor and miserable adorations.—Our Father.
VIII. I thank Thee, O my Saviour, because, renewing in this daily sacrifice the very sacrifice of the cross offered on Calvary, Thou dost satisfy the Divine Justice for us miserable sinners.—Our Father.
IX. I thank Thee, dear Jesus, that Thou hast become the priceless Victim, to merit for me the fulness of celestial favors. Awaken in me such trust that their abundance may ever more and more descend upon my soul.—Our Father.
X. I thank Thee, my loving Saviour, that Thou art immolated in thanksgiving to God for all His benefits, spiritual and temporal, which He has bestowed upon me, and which I yet hope to receive.—Glory be to the Father.
