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. ~ Prayer by St. John Eudes to the Sacred Heart of
