 Then shall  I  be  able  to  say:  my  God,  I  can  never again lose  Thee.

My God,  would  that  I  could  love  Thee  as  Thou dost deserve  to  be  loved.

O Mary,  make  my  heart  all  God's.  My  tender Mother, I  love  Thee  with  all  the  ardor  of  my  soul, and I  desire  to  love  Thee  eternally  in  paradise.

ehold me,  Lord;  do  with  me  what  Thou  wilt. May Thy  Will  be  ever  done;  I  only  desire what Thou  wilt. I desire  to  suffer  what Thou wiliest;  I  desire  to  die  when  Thou  wiliest.

Into Thy  hands  I  commend  my  body,  my  soul,  my life,  and  my  death. I love  Thee,  O  my  God,  whether it pleaseth  Thee  to  send  me  consolations  or  afflictions, and I  desire  to  love  Thee  always.

Eternal Father,  I  unite  my  death  to  that  of  Jesus Christ, and  I  offer  it  to  Thee  in  order  to  please  Thee. Will of  my  God,  Thou  art  my  love. Good pleasure  of  my  God,  I  devote  myself  entirelv to Thee.

MY God,  when  shall  I  behold  Thine  infinite beauty, and  when  shall  I  behold  Thee  face to face?

In paradise  I  shall  love  Thee,  and  Thou  wilt  love me to  all  eternity,  my  God  and  my  All!

My Jesus,  when  shall  I  be  admitted  to  kissing  those wounds which  were  imprinted  for  my  sake?

O Mary,  when  shall  I  find  myself  at  the  feet  of  the Mother who  has  so  loved  and  aided  me?

My sweet  Protectress,  turn  thou  on  me  thine  eyes of mercy. Take me  from  this  land  of  exile,  and  show me the  blessed  fruit  of  thy  womb,  Jesus.
