Jesus, Lover of my soul,
You are the Heart of me.
Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Pour out Your Mercy,
For my wretchedness,
Draws from the well of Your Passion.
Crucified God, Redeemer,
Water my sorrowful repentance.
I am that sinner,
Who begs Your Mercy.
I am the sinner,
Who calls from my bed of misery.
I call upon Your Blood.,
Your Sacred and Redeeming Blood.
Jesus, Lover of my precious soul,
You are the hallowed heart of me.

AN EFFICACIOUS METHOD OF OFFERING OUR ACTIONS TO GOD
While St. Gertrude was offering a certain action to God, saying:
O Lord, I offer Thee this work through Thine Only Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the praise of Thine eternal Majesty; it was revealed to her that whatever action was thus offered would acquire a worth and acceptableness to God beyond all human comprehension. For as all things appear to be green when seen through a green glass, so whatever is offered to God through His Only-begotten Son cannot be otherwise than most precious and pleasing in His sight.
That you may understand how useful it is to offer all your works to God, listen to what our Lord said on one occasion to St. Gertrude: All thy works are most perfectly pleasing to Me. And as she could not believe this, He added: If you held in your hand some object which you had the means and the skill to render perfectly pleasing to everyone, and if you tenderly loved that object, would you neglect to adorn it? Even thus, because you are accustomed to offer all your works to Me, I hold them in My hand; and as I have both the power and the skill, My love rejoiceth to cleanse and perfect them all, that they may be most perfectly pleasing in My sight.
Little candles,
Burning with the Light of Christ,
Luminaries,
Set on the altar for the World,
Cease not to shine.
This is your time.
As Darkness grows,
Diminish not!
You will conquer.
Lit from within,
Your Source,
The Remedy for Sin.
Little candles,
Prevail to set afire,
A world on tiptoe,
Waiting to see in your glow,
The Revelation of sons and daughters,
In the smiling Face of God.
