MONTH
OF
THE MOST BLESSED
SACRAMENT
Meditations by St.
Alphonsus Liguori
He is all lovely. — Cant. v. 16.
The sacred Spouse calls her Beloved
all lovely: to souls who, as spouses, love Jesus, He makes Himself all lovely,
whether He chastises or consoles them, whether He seems near them or at a distance,
because He does all through love, and in order to be loved. Do with me then, my
Jesus, as Thou pleasest; I will always love Thee, whether Thou send me
consolations or trials; I know that as all comes from Thy loving Heart, all
will be for my greater good: my heart is
ready, O God, my heart is ready. I am willing, O Lord, to accept whatsoever
Thou mayst ordain, I will bless the Lord at all times; whether in prosperity or
in adversity, I will at all times bless Thee, and love Thee, my Creator. I, who
have so often displeased Thee by my sins, neither seek nor deserve consolations
from Thee, and provided Thou art satisfied with me I am content to bear
anything. My Jesus, my Jesus, whether near or afar off, Thou art always
desirable, always dear to me; whether Thou comfort me or afflict me, I will
always love Thee, and always thank Thee.

Prayers
to our Lady
For Every Day of the Week
Friday
Prayer to the ever-blessed Mary, to obtain
love of Jesus Christ and of her.
O Mary, I know that thou art, of all
creatures, the noblest, the most sublime, the purest, the fairest, the most merciful,
the most holy, in every way the most de serving of
love. O that all could know thee, most blessed Lady, and could love thee as
thou shouldst be loved! I rejoice that so many happy souls, in Heaven and on
earth, are full of love for thy goodness, and excellence: above all I rejoice
in the idea that God loves thee more than He does all Angels and men together.
My beloved Queen, I, a wretched sinner, also love thee, but I love thee too
little, and I wish for a greater and more tender love towards thee: obtain this
for me, I beseech thee, since to love thee is a great mark of predestination,
and a grace which God grants only to His elect.
Thou seest also, my beloved Mother, how immense is the debt of gratitude
I owe to thy Divine Son, Who deserves an infinite love: thou desirest nothing
but that He should be loved, and therefore the grace I beg of thee, above all
others, to obtain for me is a great love of Jesus Christ. Thou canst obtain
from God whatsoever thou dost wish; I beseech thee obtain for me the grace of
being so united to the Divine Will that I may never have any other: I do not
ask thee for earthly goods, or honours, or riches; I ask only that which thy
heart most wishes, I ask grace to love God. Is it possible that thou wilt not
help me to obtain this desire, which is so pleasing to thee? No: I am sure that
thou art even now helping me, and praying for me: I beseech thee cease not to
pray for me till thou see me in Heaven, out of all danger of losing my God, and
secure of loving Him for ever, as well as thee, my beloved Mother. Amen.
HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou
amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death. Amen.
