O Immaculate Queen of Heaven and Earth,
Mother of God and Mediator of every grace:
I believe that thy dearly beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
is truly, really, and substantially
contained in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
I love Him above all things
and I long to receive Him into my heart.
At times when I cannot receive Him sacramentally,
be so good as to place Him spiritually in my soul.
O my Jesus,
I embrace You as One who has already come,
and I unite myself entirely to You:
never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
