The Pierced Heart of Jesus

Lord, be the goal of my pilgrimage here upon the earth.

Let me cling to you with all the force of my longing.

Let me penetrate the very depth of your heart.

Let me breathe through you and let me live by the breath of your love.

Let me work for you, not shunning hardship and fatigue.

Let me rest in you, peacefully, in unending confidence and friendship.

Let me radiate, through you, your divine, loving kindness and apostolic zeal.

Let me remain in you forever, firmly rooted in your love.

~from Prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Rev. Jean Galot, S.J.
