ACT OF FAITH # 3

Lord Jesus, 
eternal and infallible Truth, 
since Thou hast said that 
Thou art really present in the holy Eucharist, 
I believe it firmly.
Yes, this Host which I see, 
and which I am to receive, 
is not bread, 
but the living Body of Jesus Christ, 
God and Man: 
it is the God Whom the Angels adore in heaven; 
I believe it. 
I do not understand this Mystery, 
but I wish to believe it without seeking to penetrate it, 
that I may have the happiness 
of seeing and contemplating it one day in heaven.
Strengthen it so lively, 
that I may honour Thee, 
love Thee, 
and receive Thee, 
as if I already beheld Thee.
