Dearest LORD JESUS, Piece the inmost depths of my being with the sweet and wholesome pang of Thy Love. With true and tranquil and most Holy Apostolic charity, so that from sheer melting love and desire of Thee my soul ever faint with longing, yearning for Thee and for Thy dwelling-place, asking only to be released from the flesh and to be with thee. Grant that my soul may hunger for Thee, who art the bread of Angels, the food of Holy Souls, our daily supernatural bread, all sweetness and delight to the taste. Let my heart ever hunger for Thee and feed upon thee alone, whom the Angels yean to look upon, and let the dethps of my being be filled with Thy sweet savor; let me ever thirst for Thee; who art the source of life, source of wisdom and knowledge, source of light, flood-tide of pleasure, Gods own treasure-house. Let me ever desire Thee; seek Thee and find Thee; have Thee for my goal and achievement; think and speek of Thee only, doing all that I do for the honor and glory of Thy name, humbly and prudently, with love and delight, with ready goodwill and with perseverance to the end. Be thou ever; thou only, my hope and my trust, my treasure and pleasure, my joy and delight, my rest, peace and serenity, and my sweet and delicious fragrance, my food and support, my refuge and help, my wisedom, my heritage of wealth, my very own. Let my heart and soul be set on Thee alone, firmly and immovably rooted in Thee henceforth and forever. Amen.
