O sweetest Jesus, who camest into this world to give to all the life of Thy grace, and who, to preserve and sustain it, didst will to be the daily remedy of our daily infirmities, and our daily food; humbly we pray Thee, by Thy heart, all on fire with love of us, to pour out Thy Holy Spirit upon all, so that they who are unhappily in mortal sin may be converted to Thee, and recover the life of grace which they have lost; and those who by Thy gift still live in this divine life, may every day, when they are able, approach devoutly to Thy holy table, where, in daily communion, receiving every day the antidote to their daily venial sins, and nourishing the life of grace in their hearts, and purifying more and more their souls, they may come at last to the enjoyment with Thee of eternal beatitude. Amen.
