Offering of the Heart

Virgin Mary, most loving Mother, please give me

  • a heart like yours, firm in its attachments and of unshakable loyalty,
  • an affectionate heart which radiates a discreet tenderness and which is open,
  • a pure heart which lives in the flesh without being burdened by it,
  • a generous heart, quick in forgetting its hurts and always ready to forgive,
  • a considerate heart which hides a great deal of love in the smallest details, in the most humble service,
  • a magnanimous heart which rejoices in others' triumphs and shares in their sorrows,
  • a heart which condemns no one, and does not tire of being confided to,
  • a heart taken up by Christ, totally given to His infinite love.
Amen.
