'It is You, O divine risen Lord, Who come to me; You Who
after having expiated sin by Your sufferings, have vanquished death by Your
triumph...
'Come to me to destroy the works of the devil, and to destroy sin and my infidelities; come to me to detach me from all that is not You; come to make me a partaker of that superabundant perfect life which now overflows from Your sacred Humanity.
'I will then sing with You a hymn of praise to Your Father, Who has crowned You as our Head upon this day of honor and glory.'
