He Who Carries God In His Heart

It Is Proper To Ask For Sorrow With Christ In Sorrow, Anguish With Christ In Anguish, Tears And Deep Grief Because Of The Great Affliction Christ Endures For Me.

We Should Not Have A Petty Regard For God's Gifts, Though We May And Should Despise Our Own Imperfections.

The More Completely We Focus Our Attention On Our Creator And Lord, The Less Chance There Is Of Our Being Distracted By Creatures.

Take, O Lord, And Receive My Entire Liberty, My Memory, My Understanding And My Whole Will. All That I Am And All That I Possess You Have Given Me. I Surrender It All To You To Be Disposed Of According To Your Will. Give Me Only Your Love And Your Grace; With These I Will Be Rich Enough, And Will Desire Nothing More.

Pardon Me, O Perfections Of My God, For Having Preferred Imperfect And Evil Inclinations To Thee! Pardon Me, O Justice Of My God, For Having Outraged Thee By My Sins. Pardon Me, O Holiness Of My God, For Having So Long Stained Thy Sight's Purity By My Sins. Pardon Me, O Mercy Of My God, For Having Despised So Long Thy Mercy's Voice. In Deep Sorrow And Contrition, I Cast Myself At Thy Feet: Have Mercy On Me.
