Prayer
to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus
Place me, O my sweet Savior, in Thy Sacred
Side, and in Thy adorable Heart which is a burning Furnace of pure love, and I
shall be in safety. I hope, O my Jesus, My Sovereign Good, that Thou wilt bring
me in thither, since I love Thee, not for the recompenses which Thou dost
promise to those who love Thee, but purely for the love of Thyself. I love Thee
above all things lovable, above everything good, above everything beautiful,
above every pleasure, and in fine, above myself and everything that is outside of
Thee, and I protest in the presence of Heaven and earth that I wish to live and
die in Thy holy love, purely and simply, and that even if to love Thee in this
manner, I must suffer persecution and torments and even endure death, I am
quite content, and will say with St. Paul: "No creature shall ever be able
to separate me from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, whom I love and wish
to love eternally."
O most amiable Heart, Thou art my strength,
my support, my recompense, my safety, my refuge, my love and my all. O most
holy Heart of Jesus, Heart most august, Master of all hearts, I love Thee, I
adore Thee, I praise Thee; I thank Thee, I wish to be all Thine. O Heart of
love, dwell with me and in me; govern me, save me, change me entirely into
Thee. O most excellent and most Sacred Heart, the eternal enjoyment of which
will be, without surfeit, the Source of enjoyment and the Recompense of the
blessed, how desirable, how lovable Thou art! O Divine Heart, come to me, or
draw me to Thee. O Heart most sublime, the Delight of Divinity! I salute Thee
from exile where I am; I invoke Thee in my sorrow; I call on Thee as the remedy
for my frailty. Oh! most merciful Heart, compassionate and generous Heart of my
Father and my Savior, do not refuse Thy help to my unworthy heart, destroy in
me the reign of sin and establish in me that of virtue in order that Thy image
may be completely perfected in me and that it may one day be an ornament in Thy
Heavenly palace. Amen.
