PRAYERS WHICH MAY BE SAID AT THE OFFERTORY:
WHEN THE PRIEST OFFERS THE HOST
I place upon the paten my heart, the hearts of all those near and dear to me,
especially the hearts of my relatives; the hearts of all those for whom I have
promised to pray; the hearts of all those who have injured me; the hearts
of all those whom I have injured; the hearts of all the agonizing.
Jesus, when Thou changest the Host into Thy body, change our hearts
into hearts pleasing to Thee.
WHEN THE PRIEST OFFERS THE CHALICE
I place within the chalice the souls of all the faithful departed, especially
my relatives and all those for whom I should pray; the souls for those for whom
I may have forgotten to pray; the souls most devoted to the Precious Blood,
the Sacred Heart, and the Blessed Virgin; the souls of the most abandoned.
Jesus, when Thou changest the wine into Thy Precious Blood, bring these
poor souls from their place of suffering into eternal happiness.
