In the Heart of Jesus we live, and move, and have our being. O Jesus, Thy
care of me is so wise and gentle, that nothing can harm me so long as I
leave myself in Thy hands. I know the trials which Thou sendest me are
irksome, that my passions goad me on to rise up against Thee, and the
demon also whispers in my ear, “Thou hast Jesus no longer, He has
abandoned thee for aye.” But no, never will I lose my hope in Thee; I
shall not be affrighted; remembering the loving lessons Thy Heart has
taught me, I will fear no evils. Too powerful in the strength, my God,
that comes to me from the assurance that Thou, sweet Love, rulest my life
and art a sharer in all my sorrow. No, I will not fear, for Thou art with
me. With Jesus, my God, by my side, my hope acquires new strength. I have
with me a Father Who loves me and Who is ever intent on blessing me. My
eyes behold Thee not, yet through the wondrous agency of Thy grace, Thou
art near to me at every place and at every moment. Be Thou then, sweet
Jesus, my comforter, my delight, my crown. My senses will murmur, it is
true, my passions will arise in rebellion, but fortified by Thy grace and
strength, I will fight against sin with a fortitude invincible. Aid me
then, O divine Heart, for Thou art my only hope. Let me rest and repose on
Thy bosom and forget my wanderings. Let me learn that there and there
only, I am in my true home, where alone I can be happy.
Prayer.
O most compassionate Jesus! Thou alone art our salvation, our life and our
resurrection. We implore Thee, therefore, do not forsake us in our needs
and afflictions, but by the agony of Thy most Sacred Heart and by the
sorrows of Thy immaculate Mother, succor Thy servants whom Thou hast
redeemed with Thy most precious blood. Amen.
