of JESUS is the sum of all His perfections as GOD; and of all His graces and virtues as man; and of all the offices that He does to man as GOD and Man. JESUS-GOD, there-. fore He is infinitely Good, holy, Omnipotent, and merciful; and is made unto us "Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption." JESUS-Man, therefore He is Mild, Humble, Charitable, Patient, Powerful, Holy, and "of His fulness have all we received," and thereby hope we for salvation. Moreover, as JESUS, He is our Master, our Physician, our FATHER, our Judge, our Pastor, our Protector, and our Advocate. So that in JESUS alone we have all things, and therefore I say unto Him, "My LORD and my GOD, my All.”

O JESUS, mine own LORD, if I be sick, Thou art my health; if hungry, Thou art my fulness; if I be poor, Thou art my riches; if weak, Thou art my strength; if I be ignorant, Thou art my wisdom; if I be a sinner, Thou art my atonement, my sanctification, and redemption. O my JESUS, my All, grant that I may love Thee above all things, and that in Thee only I may seek my repose and perfect rest; for in Thee only is all that I can desire; with Thee is the fulness of joy; Thou only art my hope and my life; to Whom be honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

O Blessed SAVIOUR, Who hast given Thy Blood and Thy life for me, I pray Thee write Thy adorable Name on my heart; so that being always written there by love, I may also have it ever on my lips, invoking it in all my need. If I am tempted, may Thy Name give me strength to resist; if I am depressed, may Thy Name kindle anew my hope; if I am in sorrow, may Thy Name be my loving comfort; if I grow cold and slack, may Thy Name kindle me anew, reminding me of all Thy love. Henceforth be Thy Name my defence, my refuge, my hope, my only consolation, my only love. Thus would I live, and thus would I die, with thy Blessed Name ever in my heart and on my lips.

JESUS, grant me grace to remember my death.

JESUS, grant me grace always to remember my death, and the great account I then must render; that so continually resting in Thee, my soul may depart out of this world protected by Thy grace.

JESUS, through the power of Thy holy Name, defend me in my last hour from all my enemies, and send Thy holy Angels to help me.

JESUS, remember Thy mercy, and in the hour of need be Thou my strength.

Let the remembrance of Thy death make

me ready to die, and the knowledge of Thy Resurrection encourage me to go down into the grave with calm trust and joy.

Have mercy on all sinners, Ŏ JESUS, and on me Thy guilty child. Amen. Our FATHER, &c.

PSALM CXIII. 5; CXVI. 4, 12, 15.

Who is like unto the LORD our GOD, that hath His dwelling so high and yet humbleth Himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?

I will receive the cup of salvation: and call upon the Name of the LORD.

I shall find trouble and heaviness, and I will call upon the Name of the LORD: O LORD, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul.

I will offer to Thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the Name of the LORD.

Glory be to the FATHER, &c.

As it was in the beginning, &c.

SATURDAYS IN EPIPHANY.

"Whatsoever ye shall ask the FATHER in My Name, He will give it you."-1 S. John xvi. 24.

By the power of that ever-blessed Name, we may ask and have. Is it not then a Name of hope, since he that prays to the Eternal FATHER in the Name of JESUS, may hope for all he asks? O my God, trusting to this promise, in the Name of JESUS I ask of Thee the pardon of my sins, the grace of holy perseverance, and the gift of Thy love. Grant above all, that the remainder of my life may not be spent in displeasing Thee, but only in loving Thee and doing Thy will, as Thou wouldst have me do.

It is a Name of gladness, because if the remembrance of past transgressions afflicts us, this Name comforts us, reminding us that the SON of GOD became Man for this purpose, to make Himself our SAVIOUR. My Blessed SAVIOUR, Thou camest down from heaven to seek me, and I, a miserable sinner, have too often turned away from Thee, and despised Thy grace and Thy love. But nevertheless Thou wilt that even

I should be saved, and through Thy Blessed Name I will come unto the FATHER for pardon and absolution.

It is a Name of love. S. Bernard says that the Name of JESUS is a sign and token of how much GOD has done for love of us, inasmuch as His very Name brings to our remembrance all the sufferings which JESUS has endured for us in His life and at His death. Wherefore a holy man once cried out, "O JESUS, how much hath it cost Thee to be JESUS, that is to say, my SAVIOUR!"

O Holy JESUS, I beseech Thee, do Thou write Thy Name within my heart and on my lips, that so whenever temptation ariseth, I may be strong to resist by invoking Thee: if I am tempted to despair, I may trust in Thy merits; and if I feel that my love to Thee is growing chilly, that Thy holy Name may kindle me anew with the remembrance of Thy great love to me. Let Thy Name be ever my defence, my stronghold, my comfort, my hope, and the clear burning flame that shall ever feed the fire of love in my heart. Teach me ever to call Thee JESUS, and mine only LORD; grant me to live and die with Thy dear Name upon my lips, saying even with my last breath, LORD JESUS, I love Thee, receive Thou my spirit. Amen.
