Angel Holding the Sacred Heart, hand-coloured woodcut, Low Countries, 1490–1510. Rijksmuseum.
DEAR Lord, have mercy on me; take pity on me, and do not let me disappoint any longer the desires of Thy sacred Heart. Give me the grace to be at last what Thou hast a right to expect me to be, favored as I have been in such unspeakable ways. May I receive Thee into the poor dwelling of my heart in this morning's communion, and in every communion that may still be before me, and especially in my last communion—may I receive Thee, O my Lord, with such dispositions that that last communion may place me in safety before Thy judgment-seat. Thou wilt be my Judge then; now Thou comest as my Saviour. O merciful Jesus, come now and possess my heart, that then Thou mayest be able to say to me: “Come and, possess My kingdom.” Thy kingdom come, O King of my heart! Come, Lord Jesus.
