O Lord Jesus Christ, who hast said: Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you; we beseech Thee, grant us the gift of Thy divine love, that with all our heart, our words and deeds we may ever love Thee and never cease praising Thee.

Deus, qui nobis, in Corde Filii tui, nostris vulnerato peccatis, infinitos dilectionis thesauros misericorditer largiri dignaris; concede, quaesumus, ut illi devotum pietatis nostrae praestantes obsequium, dignae quoque satisfactionis exhibeamus officium. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum.

R. Amen.

Let us pray.

O God, Who mercifully deigns to bestow upon us in the Heart of Thy Son, which was wounded for our sins; the infinite treasures of love, grant, we beseech Thee, that we who pay Him the devout homage of our affection may likewise exhibit a worthy reparation for our sins. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.
