Sacred Heart of Jesus, teach me to sacrifice myself completely, teach me what I must do to arrive at the purity of Your love with the desire of which You have inspired me. I feel in myself a great wish to please You and great powerlessness to succeed in doing so without great light and very special help which I can expect only from You.

Accomplish Your will in me; I know well that I am opposing it. But I eagerly wish, at least it seems so to me, not to oppose it. It is for You to do everything, O Divine Heart of Jesus, You alone will have all the glory of my sanctification if I become a Saint; that appears to me clearer than daylight, but it will be a great glory for You, and it is for that alone that I wish to attain perfection. Amen.”
