Rejoice Virgin Mary, full of grace. O Theotokos, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb. For you have given birth to the Saviour of our souls.

Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your Fragrance everywhere I go. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through me and be so in me, that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your Presence in my soul: let them look up and see no longer me–but only Jesus.

Saint John Neuman

Loving Father, faith in Your Word is the way to wisdom. Help me to think about Your Divine Plan that I may grow in the truth. Open my eyes to Your deeds, my ears to the sound of Your call, so that my every act may help me share in the life of Jesus. Give me the grace to live the example of the love of Jesus, which I celebrate in the Eucharist and see in the Gospel. Form in me the likeness of Your Son and deepen His Life within me.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, 
filled with infinite love, 
broken by my ingratitude, 
pierced by my sins, 
yet loving me still, 
accept the consecration that I make to You, 
of all that I am and all that I have. 
Take every faculty of my soul and body, 
and draw me, day by day, 
nearer and nearer to Your Sacred Side, 
and there, as I can bear the lesson, 
teach me Your blessed ways. 

Amen.

Amen.

Imprimatur: Thomas D. Beven, Bishop of Springfield 

It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked our Lord which was His greatest unrecorded suffering, and Our Lord answered: “I had on My Shoulder, while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound, which was more painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honor this wound with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through its virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their mortal sins.”
