19TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Prayer O Jesus Christ, Divine Master, I thank and bless your loving Heart for the great gift of the Holy Eucharist. Your love makes you dwell in our tabernacles, to renew your passion and death in the Mass, to give yourself as food for our souls in Holy Communion. May I come to know you, O hidden God. May I drink from the fount of living waters that flow from your Heart. Grant me to visit you every day in this holy sacrament; to assist at holy Mass with understanding, to receive you in Holy Communion often and with the proper disposition. May all men respond to your invitation, “Come to me all you who are burdened.”                                                                                                                  Blessed Alberione James  they are happy
