Rh "I desire this of you, beloved, that you should have no other will than Mine, that all your thoughts, your aims, your desires, should be of Me and according to My Will, that I may will, think, intend, and see all that you will, think, intend, and see; so that your nothingness may be swallowed up in the depth of My infinity, and transformed into it. Thus will you be fully blest and happy in Me, and I completely contented in you."

In conclusion, offer to the Father His only Son, first, for a thank-offering; then for your own needs, and those of all the Holy Church, and for all who belong to you, and to whom you are in any way bound, and for the souls who are being cleansed from the remaining stains of sins; and make this offering in commemoration of, and in union with, that which He made of Himself, when He offered Himself to the Father, hanging upon the Cross, and covered with blood.

And you may likewise unite your offering with all the sacrifices offered on that day in the Holy Catholic Church.
