April 23rd
Book Four, Chapter 17
Of an Ardent Love and Vehement Desire to Receive Christ

With great devotion and ardent love, with all affection and fervor of heart, I desire to receive You, O Lord, as many saints and devout persons, who were most pleasing to You in holiness of life and in the most burning devotion, have desired You when they communicated....

Let all peoples, tribes, and tongues praise You, and magnify Your holy and most sweet Name, with the highest jubilation and ardent devotion.  And my all, whoever reverently and devoutly celebrate Your most high Sacrament, and receive it with full faith, at Your hands deserve to find grace and mercy, and humbly to pray for me, a sinner.
