Isaiah 65:17-21

 Isaiah 65:17-21 (or Micah 7:7-9)

Thus says the LORD:

Lo, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth;

The things of the past shall not be remembered or come to mind.

Instead, there shall always be rejoicing and happiness in what I create;

For I create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight;

I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exult in my people.

No longer shall the sound of weeping be heard there, or the sound of crying;

No longer shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days,

or an old man who does not round out his full

lifetime;

He dies a mere youth who reaches but a hundred years, and he who fails of a hundred shall be thought

accursed

They shall live in the houses they build, and eat the fruit of the vineyards they plant.

Responsorial

Psalm 30 (or Psalm 27)

Psalm

R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.

I will extol you, O LorD, for you drew me clear and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O LorD, you brought me up from the nether world; you preserved me from among those going down into the pit. R.

Sing praise to the LorD, you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name.

For his anger lasts but a moment; a lifetime, his good will.

At nightfall, weeping enters in, but with the dawn, rejoicing. R.

"Hear, O LorD, and have pity on me,

O LORD, be my helper."

You changed my mourning into dancing;

O LORD, my God, forever will 1 give you thanks. R.

Prayer to the Blessed Sacrament

 My Lord Jesus Christ, for the love which You bear to men, You remain night and day in this Sacrament full of compassion and of love, awaiting, calling, and welcoming all who come to visit You. I believe that You are present in the Sacrament of the Altar: I adore You from the abyss of my nothingness, and I thank You for all the graces which You have bestowed upon me and in particular for having given me Yourself in this Sacrament, for having given me your holy Mother Mary for my advocate, and for having called me to visit You in this chapel. I now salute 

Your most loving Heart: and this for three ends: 
1. In thanksgiving for this great gift; 
2. To make amends to You for all the outrages which You receive in this Sacrament from all Your enemies; 
3. I intend by this visit to adore You in all the places on earth in which You are the least revered and the most abandoned. 

My Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I grieve for having so many times offended Your infinite goodness. I promise with Your grace never more to offend You in the future. 
Now, miserable and unworthy though I be, I consecrate myself to You without reserve; 
I give You my entire will, my affections, my desires, and all that I possess. From now on dispose of me and of all that I have as You please. All that I ask of You and desire is Your holy love, final perseverance, and the perfect accomplishment of Your will. I recommend to You the souls in purgatory; but especially those who had the greatest devotion to the most Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I also recommend to You all poor sinners. 

My dear Saviour, I unite all my affections with the affections of Your most loving Heart; and I offer them, thus united, to Your eternal Father, and beseech Him in Your name to vouchsafe, for Your love, to accept them. 
Amen.
