THE PRIEST PUTS PART OF THE HOST INTO THE CHALICE.

Lord Jesus Christ, Who, after Thy glorious victory over the power of the devil, didst descend into Limbo, to liberate the souls imprisoned there, apply, I beseech Thee, the virtue of Thy most precious Blood and Passion to the faithful souls in Purgatory, that they may be received into the joys of Thy kingdom. Amen.

AT THE "AGNUS DEI."

Lord Jesus Christ, the meditation on Thy torments has excited many to repentance; I beseech Thee, through the efficacy of Thy most bitter Passion and Death, grant me perfect contrition for the offences of my past life, and grace to avoid sin in future. Amen.

AT THE COMMUNION.

Lord Jesus Christ, Who wast pleased to be buried in a new monument, give me, O Lord my God, a new heart, that, dying in Thee, I may happily participate in the glory of Thy resurrection. Amen.

AT THE ABLUTION.

Lord Jesus Christ, Who for me, miserable sinner, wast by Joseph and Nicodemus embalmed with spices, and wrapped in white linen, grant me worthily to receive from Thy holy altar Thy true and living Body in the Holy Eucharist, and forever entertain it in a true heart. Amen.

AFTER COMMUNION.

Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst rise triumphant out of a sealed monument, grant me grace to rise from the bondage of sin, to walk in newness of life, that when Thou, Who art my Judge, shalt appear, I may also be worthy to appear with Thee in glory. Amen.

AT THE "DOMINUS VOBISCUM."

Lord Jesus Christ, Who, after Thy resurrection, didst manifest Thyself to Thy beloved Mother and disciples, to their great joy and consolation, mercifully grant me the grace, that, after this mortal life I may with them rejoice in Thy Heavenly

Kingdom, enjoying Thy presence forever. Amen.

AT THE LAST COLLECT.

Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst vouchsafe, after Thy résurrection, to converse forty days with Thy disciples, and instruct them in all the mysteries of faith, teach me, I beseech Thee, the knowledge of those divine truths and strengthen my belief in them, according to Thy doctrine, and never to swerve in the least from Thy Will. Amen.

AT THE LAST "DOMINUS VOBISCUM."

Lord Jesus Christ, Who after the term of forty days, didst ascend glorious and immortal into Heaven, in the presence of Thy disciples, grant that my heart may, for Thy love, loathe all earthly things; attend only unto eternal; and pant, hunger and thirst after Thee, as the first and best of all blessings. Amen.

AT THE GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN.

Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst send the Holy Ghost upon Thy disciples, while they

were engaged in prayer, cleanse, I beseech Thee my heart from all sin, that the same Holy Ghost may always dwell in it by His manifold gifts, and my soul be everlastingly comforted. Amen.
