Prayer by St. John Eudes to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Heart all lovable and all loving of
my Savior, be the Heart of my heart,
the soul of my soul, the spirit of my
spirit, the life of my life and the
sole principle of all my thoughts, words and
actions, of all the faculties
of my soul, and of all my senses, both interior
and exterior. Amen. ~
"Your most loving Heart, O Jesus,
dwells in this
Sacrament
burning with love for us.
It is there continually
performing
thousands of good deeds
towards us."

“Our wish, our object, our chief
preoccupation must be to form Jesus in ourselves, to make His
spirit, His devotion, His affections,
His desires and His disposition live and reign there.
All our religious exercises should be directed to this end.
It is the work
which God has given us to do
unceasingly.”-
