"Blessed may you be, my Lord Jesus Christ.
For our salvation you allowed Your side and heart
to be pierced with a lance and from that side water
and Your precious blood flowed out abundantly
for our redemption.” - St. Bridget of Sweden
"Oh Jesus! Sweetness of hearts,
delight of the spirit,
by the bitterness of the vinegar and gall which
Thou didst taste on the Cross of Love for us,
grant us the grace to receive worthily
Thy Precious Body and Blood during our life
and at the hour of our death,
that they may serve as a remedy
and consolation for our souls. Amen.”
