Promises Of Consolation To Christ

We promise for the future that
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the forgetfulness and ingratitude of men,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the way Thou art neglected in Thy holy tabernacle,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the crimes of sinners,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the sacrileges which profane Thy Sacrament of Love,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the irreverence displayed in Thy presence,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the coldness on the part of Thy children,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For their contempt of Thy loving invitations,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the faithlessness of those who call themselves Thy friends,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the bad example we have given,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the abuse of Thy grace,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For our long delay in loving Thee,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For our past sins,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For our own unfaithfulness,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For our indifference in Thy service,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For keeping Thee waiting at the door of our hearts,
We will console Thee, O Lord.

For Thy sighs and tears,
We will console Thee, O Lord.
