I thank You, O my God! For all the graces You have granted me, especially the grace of making me pass through the crucible of suffering. If through weakness I sometimes fall, may Your Divine Glance cleanse my soul immediately, consuming all my imperfections like the fire that transforms everything into itself. I want to console You for the ingratitude of the wicked, and I beg of You to take away my freedom to displease You. Ah! I cannot receive Holy Communion as often as I desire, but, Lord, are You not all-powerful? Remain in me as in a tabernacle and never separate Yourself from Your little victim.

I feel in my heart immense desires and it is with confidence I ask You to come and take possession of my soul. Her Divine Son, my Beloved Spouse, told us in the days of His mortal life: “Whatsoever you ask the Father in My name He will give it to you!” I am certain, then, that You will grant my desires I know, O my God! that the more You want to give, the more You make us desire. It is to her that I abandon my offering, begging her to present it to You. Finally, I offer to You, O Blessed Trinity! the Love and merits of the Blessed Virgin, my dear Mother. I offer You, too, all the merits of the saints (in heaven and on earth), their acts of Love, and those of the holy angels. I offer them to You with gladness, begging You to look on me only in the Face of Jesus and in His Heart burning with Love. I desire, in a word, to be a saint, but I feel my helplessness and I beg You, O my God! To be Yourself my Sanctity! Since You loved me so much as to give me Your only Son as my Savior and my Spouse, the infinite treasures of His merits are mine.

I desire to accomplish Your will perfectly and to reach the degree of glory You have prepared for me in Your Kingdom. O my God! Most Blessed Trinity, I desire to Love You and make You Loved, to work for the glory of Holy Church by saving souls on earth and liberating those suffering in purgatory.
