PRAYER for THURSDAY
A Prayer before the blessed Sacrament
O SWEET and adorable Jesus, Who, in the excess of Thy love, art pleased to dwell with us in the sacrament of the Altar; I here acknowledge that Thou art my Sovereign and my God; I adore Thee with the most profound humility; I thank Thee with all my heart, for the tenderness Thou here showest me, in spite of the treatment Thou receivest. Pierced with the sincerest grief at the sight of my ingratitude, I come, O God of majesty, to make Thee some poor amends, for all the sacrileges and impiety which were ever committed, or ever shall be committed, against this adorable sacrament. Why cannot I, O God, sufficiently testify my own regret, for having so often appeared before Thee with indifference, and for having approached Thee with so little fervour, and so little love. Forget, O Lord, my iniquities, that Thou mayest remember only Thy own infinite mercies. Deign to accept the desire I have of honouring Thee in the adorable Sacrament. Yes, I wish with all my heart to love Thee, to bless, to praise, and adore Thee here, as fervently as the saints and angels adore Thee; and I conjure Thee, by this sacred body, and by this most precious blood, that I may henceforth honour Thee so fervently, and receive Thee so worthily, that after this life I may praise Thee for ever, with Thy saints in heaven. Amen.

PRAYER for FRIDAY
A Prayer to Jesus suffering
O SPOTLESS Lamb! O innocent Victim who by Thy death and blood has effaced the sins of mankind; blot out my iniquities, and do not permit that Thy sufferings should become useless to me. O Jesus, humbled, sorrowful, desolate and resigned to death! help me to receive, with a resignation like thine, whatever afflictions Thou shalt please to send me. O Jesus calumniated, accused, and despised, teach me to look down with indifference on the judgments of men, and to suffer with patience the most provoking injuries. O Jesus, torn with stripes, pierced with thorns, weltering in blood for my sake, teach me to endure for love of Thee, the anguish and inconvenience of ill health, misery, or afflictions. O Jesus, abandoned to executioners, and shamefully condemned to a cross, enable me to fly all vainglory, and patiently to endure the most humbling contradictions. O Jesus,sinking under the weight of Thy cross, I unite myself to thee, and my crossesalsoto thine-grant me grace to bear them with patience and resignation. O Jesus, raised up on the cross, draw me now powerfully to Thee; Thou art expiring for my sake, O let me never live but for Thine; that being henceforth crucified with Thee, my whole occupation may be to love and adore Thee incessantly. Amen.

O BLESSED Virgin, Mother of God, and by this august quality, worthy of all respect from men and angels, I come to offer thee my most humble homage, and to implore the aid of thy prayers and protection. Thy intercession is most powerful, and thy goodness for mankind on earth, is equal to thy influence in heaven.

Accept, O blessed Virgin, my protestations of fidelity; look favourably on the confidence I have in thee; obtain for me of thy dear Son a lively faith, a firm hope, a tender, generous,and constant love. Obtain for me a cautious purity, a sincere humility, a placid resignation to the will of God, and so faithful an imitation of thy virtues through life, that I may exult in thy patronage at the hour of my death.

Matt. 17, 1-9. At that time, Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves, and was transfigured before them. And His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as snow. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking together with Him. Then Peter addressed Jesus, saying, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If Thou wilt, let us set up three tents here, one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elias.” As he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear Him.” And on hearing it the disciples fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid. And Jesus came near and touched them, and said to them, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” But lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus cautioned them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of Man has risen from the dead.” S. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
