Second Series of Poems
Fourth Poem of a Soul to the Sacred and Blessed Heart of Jesus

My Lord,
may the Rays of Your Heart
dissolve any possible
spiritual blindness within me
so that I may have the happiness
of recognizing Your humble steps.

Make me brave,
just as You were, dear Jesus,
in each step of the Cross.

May I not fear to carry
my own miseries,
may I fear not being able to find You.

But I know that as You are
kind and merciful, Lord,
You will grant me the Grace of finding You,
of feeling You and of recognizing You
in my inner world.

May You be this Divine Flame
within us
that transmutes and purifies everything.

Distance me, Lord,
from the illusions of life,
from everything that is superficial.

May I never lose the thirst
of drinking of Your Blood
and eating of Your Divine Body.

Make me similar to all
Your humble servants and martyrs
who gave until the last
minute of their lives
to recognize You and give testimony of You.

May I not fear the deserts
in which You may place me.

May I not fear the aridity
or the lack of sensitivity
or encouragement.

I only ask You, dearest Jesus,
that You renew me,
that You redeem me,
that You do in me
according to Your Word and Your Will,
because thus I will know the freedom
and the infinite joy
of serving You until the end.

Amen.

I thank you for keeping the words of this Soul in your hearts!

Who blesses you,

Your Master, Christ Jesus
