PRAYER BEFORE HOLY MAS S     Act of Love before Mass   FRIDAY 29TH WEEK   IN ORD.

It is through Thy Divine Son that this union is about to be realized within me. In Holy Communion I long to identify myself with Him, that it will no longer be myself, but Him, who lives in me; and when I have received Jesus within myself, then I shall love and be loved by Thee in that same measure, in which I am united to Him. Hasten then, to give me Thy Divine Son, at the hands of Thy priest, that through Jesus, I may unite myself forever to Thee, O God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.   Readings   Textes   Reflection   Saint John Paul II Pope First Reading Romans 7:18-25 I want to do good it is something evil that comes to hand I know of nothing good living in me – living, that is, in my unspiritual self – for though the will to do what is goo
