O Lord, almighty Father, eternal God, cast Thine eyes upon Thy beloved
Son; accept, we beseech Thee, the satisfaction He offers Thee; be appeased
by His divine homage, and mercifully protect us, through the same Christ,
Thy Son, Who, being God, livest and reignest with Thee in the unity of the
Holy Ghost. Amen.
Mass in Union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Introibo.
O divine Jesus, Thou art the Victim laden with all the iniquities of the
world: Thou didst shed bitter tears for them; Thou didst expiate them by
the most dreadful torments, and by the most cruel of deaths. I come to
mingle my tears with Thine; I confess to Thee, in the presence of Mary,
ever Virgin, and of all the saints, that I have sinned exceedingly; that
it is my ingratitude that pierced Thy Heart, and put Thee to a cruel
death. O God, my Saviour, through Thy tears, through Thy agony in the
Garden of Olives, through Thy precious blood and the wound in Thy Sacred
Heart, I beseech Thee to pardon me, and to grant me the remission of all
my sins. Amen.
Introit.
Let us adore the Heart of Jesus, which has loved us so much; let us
prostrate ourselves before Him, and bewail the sins of which we have been
guilty. Grant us, O Lord, a contrite and humble heart; let the homage of
our adoration be as acceptable to Thee as if we offered Thee thousands of
victims. Amen.
Kyrie.
The days of propitiation have arisen upon me; I may call Thee by Thy name,
O God of majesty; I may call Thee my Saviour and my Father. Thou art
present on our altars, that Thou mayest heap Thy favors upon us. I will
draw nigh, therefore, with confidence unto the throne of mercy, and I will
say unto Thee: Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner. Amen.
Gloria.
Glory be to God, Whose justice is satisfied by the perpetual sacrifice of
so noble a Victim. Peace and happiness on earth to men of good‐will, who
behold a God annihilating Himself daily to save them, and to feed them
with His own substance. I praise Thee, I bless Thee, I adore Thee, O Lord,
and I stand amazed at the sight of the wonders of Thy love. Shall I suffer
them to be of no avail to me through the evil dispositions of my heart?
Shall I reject that peace which Thou offerest me? Shall I not labor to
acquire that good‐will by which it comes? O my God, allay the strife which
is so often excited in my heart, making the flesh rebel against the
spirit. Amen.
Collect.
O Divine Jesus, inexhaustible fountain of all good things, open unto us,
we beseech Thee, the interior of Thy Heart: that, having entered by pious
meditation into this august sanctuary of divine love, we may fix forever
there our hearts, as the place wherein is found the treasure, rest and
happiness of holy souls; Who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.
