Act of Adoration and Thanksgiving for the Benefits Accrued from the Incarnation

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

behold us prostrate in Thy divine presence.

We humble ourselves profoundly

and beg of Thee the forgiveness of our sins.

I.

We adore Thee, Almighty Father,

and with hearts overflowing

we thank Thee that Thou hast given us

Thy Divine Son Jesus to be our Redeemer,

and that He hath bequeathed Himself to us

in the most august Eucharist

even to the end of the world,

revealing unto us the wondrous love of His Heart

in this mystery of faith and love.

Glory be to the Father,

and to the Son,

and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning,

is now,

and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

II.

O Word of God,

dear Jesus our Redeemer,

we adore Thee and with hearts over-flowing

we thank Thee for having taken human flesh upon Thee

and become for our redemption both Priest and Victim

in the sacrifice of the Cross,

a sacrifice which,

through the exceeding love of Thy Sacred Heart,

Thou dost renew upon our altars at every moment.

O High Priest,

O Divine Victim,

give us the grace to honour Thy holy sacrifice

in the most adorable Eucharist

with the homage of Mary most holy

and of all Thy holy Church,

triumphant, suffering and militant.

We offer ourselves wholly to Thee;

of Thine infinite goodness and mercy

do Thou accept our offering,

unite it to Thine own

and grant us Thy blessing.

Glory be to the Father,

and to the Son,

and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning,

is now,

and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

III.

O Divine Spirit the Paraclete,

we adore Thee and with hearts overflowing

we give Thee thanks that Thou hast,

with such great love for us,

wrought the ineffable blessing

of the Incarnation of the Word of God,

a blessing which is being continually extended

and enlarged in the most august Sacrament of the Eucharist.

Ah, by this adorable mystery of the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,

do Thou grant unto us and all poor sinners Thy holy grace.

Pour forth Thy holy gifts upon us

and upon all redeemed souls,

and in an especial manner upon the visible Head of the Church,

the supreme Roman Pontiff,

upon all Cardinals,

Bishops and Pastors of souls,

upon priests and all other ministers of Thy sanctuary.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,

and to the Son,

and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning,

is now,

and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.
