Aspiration to Jesus
Aspiration to Jesus
Jesus
said to St. Mechtilde: Whoever shall breathe a sigh towards Me from the bottom
of his heart when he awakes in the morning, and shall ask Me to work all his
works in him throughout the day, he will draw Me to him; so that his soul shall
have life from Me even as his body has life from his soul, and he shall do all
things through Me and by Me. For never does a man breathe a sigh of longing
aspiration towards Me without drawing Me nearer to him than I was before.
O MOST loving Jesus, I
breathe towards Thee this sigh, drawn from the depth of my heart, beseeching
Thee with all my might that Thou wouldst deign Thyself to work in me all my
works, whether of body or of soul, to cleanse them all in thy sweetest Heart,
and to offer them, in union with Thine Own most perfect works, to God the
Father as an eternal thanksgiving. Amen.
