From the depths of my heart
I thank You, Dear Lord,
For Your infinite kindness in coming to me.
How good You are to me!
with Your most holy Mother and all the angels,
I praise Your mercy and generosity toward me,
a poor sinner.
I thank You for nourishing my soul
with Your Sacred Body and Precious Blood.
I will try to show my gratitude to You
in the Sacrament of Your love,
by obedience to Your holy commandments,
by fidelity to my duties,
by kindness to my neighbor
and by an earnest endeavor
To become more like You in my daily conduct.
