At the Hour of My Death, the Surest Anchor of My Hope

Prayer of St, Gertrude to the Sacred Heart of Mary, O immaculate Heart of Mary, I have nothing in my- self to offer thee that is worthy of thee ; but what thanks ought I not to pay thee, for all the favours which thou hast obtained for me from the Heart of Jesus! What reparation ought I not to make thee for all my tepidity in thy service ! I desire to return thee love for love ; the only good that I possess is the sacred Heart of J esus, which thou thyself hast given me. I offer thee this trea- sure of infinite price ; I cannot do more, and thou dost not deserve less at my hands ; but, receiving from me this gift most precious in thy sight, be pleased, I beseech thee, to accept my heart, which I here offer to thee, and I shall he for ever blessed. Amen
