In this month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I invite you to meditate on this beautiful prayer,
which turns us towards the God of love whom we know to be so good and merciful.

Lord, I rely on you.
I know your name, your wisdom and your mercy.
I know that you never abandon
those who seek you.

I give you thanks with all my heart.
I repeat all your wonders.
You fill me with joy.
You renew your trust in me every day.
You constantly urge me not to fear you.
You assure me that you are close to me, in me,
that you want to go to others through me.

My faults, my weaknesses, my pettiness
don't make you cold towards me.
You help me to improve every day.
You are in me like tenderness,
a friendship, a warm feeling,
an unchanging smile, a serene joy,
and you invite me to throw myself confidently into your arms.
I thank you for this. Amen.

Prayer, Father Louis-Marie Parent, o.m.i.
