Ninth Poem of a Soul to the Sacred and Blessed Heart of Jesus

Lord, although my soul
is poor and imperfect,
I beg You, beloved Jesus,
to avail Yourself of it
so that You may carry out
Your infinite and prodigious
Work of Love and Redemption.

Dear Jesus,
may this weak
and fragile soul be strengthened.

May Your Divine Fire, Lord,
lead me to some day find
the sacred Gift of Your innocence
so that,
according to the designs,
I too may be able to awaken
the Gift similar
to Your inner Purity.

Make me meek, Jesus.

Make me humble
and above all truthful
so that in these imperfect eyes
may be reflected Your loving and peaceful Gaze,
so that the most lonely and suffering Souls
may find, through my offering,
Your powerful Celestial Presence.

For this, Lord,
liberate me from my desires,
liberate me from all ostentation and want.

That my heart be as simple as Yours.

Because my only wish, dear Jesus,
is to please You and share with You
the heavy Cross that You
still carry for the world.

Hear my supplication, Lord,
and make me once again
worthy of being before You.

Because, even though
I still do not understand
the power of Your mysteries,
I accept with love
all of Your Divine Wills.

May today Your Celestial Project
be fulfilled in me, Lord,
so that some day You can testify,
through me, Your Work of Redemption
before the Celestial Father.

Amen.

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

Who blesses you,

Your Master, Christ Jesus
