To offer in a becoming and deserving manner our thanksgiving to the divine Saviour for the institution of the Blessed Sacrament, and for all the graces and benefits that we have received through this sacred mystery. 4. To make reparation and atonement in a most public and appropriate manner for all the insults, irreverences and profanations that are heaped upon Our Lord in the Holy Sacrament by infidels and heretics, as well as by careless and disloyal Catholics. 5.
