The Most Precious Body and Blood of Christ

Ave Maria Mediations

My Jesus, I long ardently
For you to come to me this day;
Without you life is misery.
Come to me soon, I pray.

Without the fervor that you bring,
O Love, I languish night and day;
And do you not desire my love?
Inflame my heart, I pray.

Good Shepherd, bear your lost sheep home
Within your arms, when e’er I stray;
From ravening wolves that round me roam
O keep me safe, I pray.

O Bread of Life, for you I sigh,
Give me yourself without delay;
For otherwise my soul must die.
Give me to eat, I pray.

O fount of living waters clear,
How long and weary is the way;
Refresh my soul which thirsts for you.
Give me to drink, I pray.

O loving Lord, my soul is chilled
By icy winds that round me play;
O fire of love, let me be filled
With warmth from you, I pray.

Like the blind man who cried to you:
Have mercy on me, Lord, I say,
O Mary’s son, that I may see;
Increase my faith, I pray.

Lord, I am sick beyond all cure,
But with a word you can display
Your power; without you death is sure.
O heal me, Lord, I pray.

My Lord, I knock upon your door;
Your favors I can ne’er repay,
Yet in my want I beg for more.
Fulfill my needs, I pray.

I am not worthy, Lord, that you
Should come into my house today
As heavenly food; say but the word
And heal my soul, I pray.

Lord, you alone are my true friend,
My treasure which can ne’er decay;
All earthly joys do you transcend.
Do visit me this day
