Place me, O my sweet Savior, in Your Sacred Side, and in Your Heart which is a burning Furnace of pure love, and I shall be in safety. I hope, O my Jesus, My Sovereign Good, that You will bring me to this place, since I love You, not for the recompenses which You have promised to those who love You, but purely for the love of Yourself. I love You above all things lovable, above everything good, above everything beautiful, above every pleasure, and in fine, above myself and everything that is outside of You and I protest in the presence of Heaven and earth that I wish to live and die in Your holy love, purely and simply, and that even if to love You in this manner, I must suffer persecution and torments and even endure death, I am quite content, and will say with St. Paul: “No creature shall ever be able to separate me from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, whom I love and wish to love eternally.”
