Title: Prayers of St. Gertrude the Great & St. Mechtilde Post by: Shin on February 29, 2024, 12:59:45 AM MORNING PRAYERS
Our Divine Lord said to St. Mechtilde: When you awake in the morning, let your first act be to salute my Heart, and to offer me your own. I ADORE, praise, and salute thee, O most sweet Heart of Jesus Christ, fresh and gladdening as the breath of spring, from which, as from a fountain of graces, sweeter than the honeycomb, floweth evermore all good and all delight. I thank thee with all the powers of my heart for having preserved me throughout this night, and for having rendered to God the Father praises and thanksgivings on my behalf. And now, O my sweet Love, I offer thee my wretched and worthless heart as a morning sacrifice; I place it in thy most tender Heart, and intrust it to thy keeping; beseeching thee that thou wouldst deign to pour into it thy divine inspirations, and to enkindle it with thy holy love. Amen. |
