What then shall I do, O my God, Thou helper and Counsellor in necessities.
2. Teach Thou me the right way; propound unto me some short exercise befitting Holy Communion.
For it is profitable to know how I ought to prepare my heart devoutly and reverently for Thee, to the intent that I may receive Thy Sacrament to my soul's health [or it may be also
for the celebrating this so great and divine mystery].
