Prayer Of Love To Jesus
O good and merciful Saviour, it is the desire of my heart to return
You love for love. My greatest sorrow is that You are not loved by all
men, and in particular, that my heart is so cold, so selfish, so
ungrateful. Deeply sensible of my own weakness and poverty, I trust
that Your own grace will enable me to offer You an act of pure love.
And I wish to offer You this act of love in reparation for the
coldness and neglect that are shown to You in the Sacrament of Your
love by Your creatures. O Jesus, my sovereign good, I love You above
all things that can be loved, above all pleasures, and above myself
and all that is not Yours, protesting in the presence of heaven and
earth that I will live and die purely and simply in Your holy love,
and that if to love You thus I must endure persecution and suffering,
I am perfectly satisfied, and I will say with St. Paul: Nothing shall
separate me from the love of Christ. O Jesus, Supreme Master of all
hearts, I love You, I adore You, I praise You, I thank You, because I
am now all Your own. Rule over me, and transform my soul into the
likeness if Yourself, so that it may bless and glorify You forever in
the abode of the saints. Amen. Jesus, I live for You, Jesus, I die for
You, Jesus am Yours in life and in death. Amen
