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.

dwells in this
Sacrament

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

end.
It is the work which God has given
us to do unceasingly.”-
