Prayer to the Wounded Heart of Jesus
Author: Lanspergius, the Carthusian
O my Most Loving and Gentle Jesus,
I desire with all the affections of my heart,
that all beings should praise Thee,
honor Thee and glorify Thee eternally
for that sacred wound wherewith Thy divine side was rent.
I deposit, enclose, conceal in that wound
and in that opening in Thy Heart,
my heart and all my feelings, thoughts, desires,
intentions and all the faculties of my soul.
I entreat Thee, by the precious Blood and
Water that flowed from Thy Most Loving Heart,
to take entire possession of me,
that Thou may guide me in all things.
Consume me in the burning fire of thy holy Love,
so that I may be so absorbed and transformed into Thee
that I may be one with Thee.
Amen.
