Thursday
To Obtain
Heaven
O Queen of Paradise, who reignest above
all the choirs of angels, and who art the nearest of all creatures to God, I, a
miserable sinner, salute thee from this valley of tears, and beseech thee to
turn thy compassionate eyes towards me, for whichever side they turn they
dispense graces. See, O Mary, in how many dangers I now am, and shall be as
long as I live in this world, of losing my soul, of losing heaven and God. In
thee, O Lady, I have placed all my hopes. I love thee and sigh to go soon to
see thee, and praise thee in heaven.
Ah, Mary, when will be that happy day on
which I shall see myself safe at thy feet, and contemplate my Mother who has
done so much for my salvation? When shall I kiss that hand which has delivered
me so many times from hell, and has dispensed me so many graces, when, on account
of my sins, I deserve to be hated and abandoned by all?
My Lady, in life I have been very
ungrateful to thee; but if I reach heaven, I shall no longer be ungrateful;
there I shall love thee as much as I can in every moment for all eternity, and
shall make amends for my ingratitude by blessings and thanksgiving thee
forever. I thank God with my whole heart, who gives me firm confidence in the
blood of Jesus Christ and in thee, and in the conviction that thou wilt save
me; that thou wilt deliver me from my sins; that thou wilt give me light and
strength to execute the divine will; and in time, that thou wilt lead me to the
gate of paradise. Thy servants have hoped for this, and not one of them was
deceived. No, neither shall I be deceived.
