O Sacred Heart of Jesus, my Saviour, I adore Thee, shedding tears over my
sins. Would that I had a fountain of tears in my heart, that I might weep
as I ought for the sorrows I have caused Thee! Give me grace to bring
forth worthy fruits of penance. I adore Thee, O King of hearts, Who art
the delight of heaven and earth! Amen.
Twelfth Day. In the Heart of Jesus is Found the Way, the Truth, and the
Life.
O my Jesus, I have never found truth save in Thee, and aside from Thy
paths I have never met but vanity and wrong. If Thou dost not guide me in
all things, I shall stray about forever, and will quickly perish through
fatigue and want. Speak, then, O Lord, speak to Thy servant, and grant him
to comprehend Thy wonderful love. Heart of my God, give me to see that
Thou art the only way in which I must walk, if I wish to walk aright. What
would ever become of me if Thou wert not my life, principally in the
Adorable Sacrament of the Altar, where Thou dwellest actually, corporally,
and perpetually, waiting to receive my homage and ever ready to give me
all graces and blessings. Oh, how boundless is my need of Thee, my God;
draw me unto Thee and dispel the darkness which surrounds me. Deign to
accept, O Heart divine, this poor desire. My God, Thou art my Father; have
pity on me according to the greatness of Thy mercy. I abandon myself to
Thee: do not reject me; make me love Thee and nevermore separate Thyself
from me.
Prayer.
O sacred Heart of Jesus, Thou art the heavenly light! Thou dispellest the
darkness of the soul, and fillest it with sweetness. Thou art the Heart of
hearts, and worthy of the greatest love. Thou art the source of that
heavenly fire that enlightens and burns. Inflame my heart with Thy divine
ardor, that it may burn with love of Thee to all eternity. Amen.
Thirteenth Day. To the Heart of Jesus Alone I Turn.
