My Jesus! Give me a heart conformable to thy own sacred heart.
Give me a humble heart, loving an abject and a hidden life.
Give me a meek heart, ready to bear all in silence—to pardon and forget the greatest injuries.
Give me a patient heart, tranquil in the severest trials.
Give me a heart filled with the love of poverty, and with contempt for all earthly things.
Give me a pure heart, desiring only to please you in my thoughts and deeds.
Give me an obedient heart, having no will but that of God.
Give me a heart delighting in prayer, and making this heavenly exercise its chief occupation.
Give me a heart having no joy but that of seeing God known, loved, served and honored.
Give me a heart having no sadness but that of seeing God offended.
Give me a heart having no aversion but for sin.
Give me a heart having no desire but for the glory of God and for the salvation of souls.
