Ave Maria Meditations
Faith: O Lord Jesus Christ, You have said, “My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed.” I firmly believe that You are present in this Blessed Sacrament as true God and true Man, with Your Body and Blood, soul and divinity. My Redeemer and my Judge, together with the angels and saints, I adore Your divine majesty. I believe, O Lord; increase my faith.
Hope: O good Jesus, in You alone I place all my hope. You are my salvation and my strength, the source of all good. Through Your mercy, through Your passion and death, I hope to obtain the pardon of my sins, the grace of final perseverance and a happy eternity.
Love: O Jesus, my God, I love You with my whole heart and above all things because You are the one supreme Good and the infinitely perfect Being. You have given Your life for me, a poor sinner, and in Your mercy You have even offered Yourself as food for my soul. O my God, I love You! Inflame my heart so that I may love You more.
