"Lord, I have looked into
your eyes with my eyes.
I have put my heart near
your heart." - St John XXIII
"O Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,
I would like to be filled
with love for You;
keep me closely united with You,
may
my heart be near to Yours.
I
want to be to You like the apostle John.
O Mary of the Rosary, keep me recollected
when I say these prayers of yours;
bind me forever, with your rosary,
to
Jesus of the Blessed Sacrament.
Blessed be Jesus, my love,
blessed be the Immaculate Virgin Mary."
