Before Leaving Your House or Room
Lord, send me forth to do Thy will,
But let me feel Thee present still.
Before Spiritual Reading
God speaks to us through every holy page
Of uninspired or inspired sage.
O listen humbly to each counsel given.
As to a message sent to you from Heaven.
Before the Rosary
Mother, now I'll say my beads.
For my soul some comfort needs;
And what better can there be
Than to raise my thoughts to thee,
Sweet Mother!
To Jesus
Unice cordis amor, timor cordis, Jesu! Cor tihi dono meum, cor mihi redde tuum.
Jesus, my heart's sole love, my heart's sole fear Thou art;
My heart to Thee I give, give now to me Thy Heart.
Forgive me!
Forgive me. Lord, forgive me!
'Tis all that I can say.
I love Thee: make me love Thee
More truly day by day.
More and More and More
With all my heart I love Thee and adore:
Lord, make me love Thee more and more and more.
