O my Divine Jesus, how shall I return You thanks for the goodness in giving Yourself to me? The only way I can repay Your love is by loving You in return. Yes, my Lord, I love You, and I desire to love You all my life. My Jesus, You alone are sufficient for me. Whom shall I love, if I love not You, my Jesus? You love those who love You. I love you. Oh, do You also love me. If I love You but little, give me the love which You require of me. O Mary, my good Mother, and You glorious Saint Joseph, lend me your love wherewith to love my Jesus.

Give me Yourself, O my God, give Yourself to me. Behold I love You, and if my love is too weak a thing, grant me to love You more strongly. I cannot measure my love to know how much it falls short of being sufficient, but let my soul hasten to Your embrace and never be turned away until it is hidden in the secret shelter of Your presence. This only do I know, that it is not good for me when You are not with me, when You are only outside me. I want You in my very self. All the plenty in the world which is not my God is utter want. Amen.

Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against You. O God, we beseech Your majesty to hear our groans; to forgive our sins.

My soul, dilate my heart; my Jesus loves me ardently. I hope for great favors from the Lord, Who comes to me with love.
