In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen



My beloved Jesus, I come to You as I am, with a heart carrying its weariness and a soul longing for You


I do not want to remain at the surface of love


I want to enter the depth of Your Heart, where nothing remains in me except what pleases You


My Lord, take away from me everything that keeps me far from You


Remove from my hearteverything that does not resemble You, and plant within me a sincere love that seeks You above all things


Teach me to love You not only with words, but with my life, with my thoughts, with my words, and with every work to which my hands are called



Jesus, when my heart feels narrow, You are its spaciousness


When I am weary, You are my strength


When my steps lose their way, You are my path


Do not let me search for You only among created things and forget that You are the treasure


Do not let me seek only what You give and forget to seek You Yourself


Lord, make my heart Your dwelling place


Make my silence a Prayer, my service an offering of love, my weariness a sacrifice, and my life a witness to Your name


I want You, Jesus, above everything, deeper than everything, closer to my heartthan anything else


Lead me into the depth of Your love, where I learn to trust, to forgive, to love, and to surrender myself completely to You


And when a day comeswhen I do not understand Your way, teach me to trust Your Heart


When I have no words for prayer, let my silence become a cry directed toward You


When my love grows weak, set it aflame again with the fire of Your Heart


Jesus, I do not want to belong to You only on certain days, but on every day


I do not want to give You only a part of my heart


I want to place my whole heart into Your hands


So take me, my Lord, and dwell within me


Let me dwell in You, until I become more like You, more loving toward You, and more generous for Your sake


Jesus, You are the beginning and the fulfillment of my love


You are the mystery of my life and the refuge of my heart


To You I go


In You I trust


To You I surrender everything


Lead me into the depth of Your love, and never let me walk away from You.



.Amen
