       things  may  work  together  to  us  for  good,  for  there  is
       salvation for us in none other. Wherefore, as he is truly
       present in this Sacrament, so may he be with us always
       and  everywhere;  may  he  feed  us,  rule  us,  preserve  us,
       protect us, lead us according to his good and loving will
       as the sheep of his pasture; whatever shall befall us will
       be no evil to us if it does not separate us from our chief
       Good,  for  it  is  good  for  me  to  adhere  to  my  God.  For
       what have I in heaven but thee? and besides thee what

          eternal God, that thou hast vouchsafed, for no merit
       mercy, to satisfy me a sinner and thine unworthy servant
       with the  precious Body and Blood  of thy Son  our Lord
       Jesus Christ. I implore thee, let not this holy communion
       be to me an increase of guilt unto my punishment, but an
       availing  plea  unto  pardon  and  forgiveness.  Let  it  be  to
       me the armour of faith and the shield of good will. Grant
       that it may work the extinction of my vices, the rooting
       out of concupiscence and lust, and the increase within me
       of charity and patience, of humility and obedience. Let it
       be  my  strong  defence  against  the  snares  of  all  my
       enemies, visible and invisible; the stilling and the calm of
