THIS PRAYER IS TAKEN FROM ST. PIO WRITING ABOUT THE AGONY OF OUR LORD JESUS!
“O, my Jesus. When my weak nature rebels against all the ills that threaten
it, give me strength so I may, with love, accept the pain and distress of this
life in exile. I adhere with all my strength to Thy merits, Thy sufferings, Thy
expiation, and Thy tears so I may work with Thee in the work of redemption
and so I may have the strength to flee from sin, the sole cause of Thy agony,
of Thy bloody sweat, and Thy death.
“Destroy in me all that displeases Thee and with the fire of Thy sacred love,
imprint on my heart all Thy sufferings. Kiss me so intimately, with such a
strong and tender embrace, that I shall never abandon Thee to Thy cruel
torments.
“I ask but one repose on Thy Heart. I desire but one thing — to share in Thy
divine Agony. May my soul be intoxicated by Thy Blood and be nourished
by the bread of Thy suffering! Amen. ”
“O, Saint Margaret Mary! thou whom the Sacred Heart of Jesus hast
made a participator of His divine treasures we implore thee to obtain
all the graces we stand in need of from that adorable Heart.
“We ask them of Him with a confidence that has no limit. May the
divine Heart vouchsafe to grant them to us through thy intercession so
that He may once more be glorified and loved through thee. Amen.
