THE GOLDEN ARROW PRAYER
May the most holy, most sacred, most
adorable,
most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God
be ever praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified,
in heaven,
on earth, and under the earth,
by all the creatures of God,
in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
I salute
thee, I adore thee and I love thee,
O adorable Face of Jesus, my
Beloved, noble Seal of the Divinity!
Outraged anew by blasphemers,
I
offer Thee, through the heart of thy most blessed Mother,
the worship of
all the Angels and Saints,
most humbly beseeching thee to repair and
renew
in me and in all men
thine Image disfigured by sin.
