I Deplore in the Bitterness of My Soul. Amen
A Visit to the Sacred Heart of Jesus .
O Heart of Jesus ! who remainest day and night amongst us, inviting, expecting, receiving, all those who come to visit thee, I worship thee, and confess to thee my misery and my nothingness. I thank thee for SACRED HEART OF JESl'S. 3M all the mercies which thou hast bestowed upon me, es- pecially for delivering me from the power of the devil ; for restoring to me the dignity of a child of God, which I had lost by sin ; for giving me blessed Mary for my advocate; and inspiring me with the desire to come into thy presence. I thank thee with all my heart, that thou vouchsafest to remain open for me ; I desire to repair the injuries which I have had the misery to inflict upon thee, by my coldness and indifference to thy service. Oh, that T could honour thee as thou deservest to be honoured, in all places where now thou art the leust honoured and the most neglected. Amen
