IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN



Jesus, my Lord and my God, I come before You with a weary heart and a soul longing for Your presence


I do not want my heart to be an empty dwelling place, swept clean of Your goodness and beautifully decorated on the outside, while emptiness and darkness remain within


Lord, enter into the depths of my soul and fill every empty place within me with Your presence


Purify my thoughts from everything that does not please You

Cleanse my heart from everything that separates me from You


Remove from me every fear, every pride, every illusion, and every false light


Holy Spirit of God, do not allow my soul to wander after strange voices


Teach me to recognize the voice of the true Shepherd and to follow the truth, even when the path is narrow


Jesus, if I have wandered away, draw me back to You


If I have fallen, raise me up

If I have emptied my heart of You, restore Your presence within me


Do not allow me to be satisfied with an outward appearance of faith


Give me a living, humble, pure heart, a heart filled with Your love


I do not want to appear beautiful before people while remaining empty before You


I want You to see me, to dwell within me, and to become the fullness of my life


Lord, make my heart a temple of Your Spirit


Make my soul good soil for Your Word

Make my life a testimony to Your light and Your truth


When the winds of trials blow, strengthen me


When many voices surround me, let me hear Your voice


When my weakness overwhelms me, remind me that Your grace is sufficient for me


Spirit of the Beloved, pour into me the rivers of Your grace

Bring to life what has died within me


Illuminate what has grown dark


Restore to my heart the joy of salvation


Jesus, I am Yours


Do not leave me to myself, and do not allow my heart to remain empty of You


Come, Lord, enter and dwell within me, and make me a dwelling place worthy of Your love


Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, keep me in Your presence, lead me in the way of truth, and keep me faithful to You until the end
