FOCUS:   Divine Love

Oh, that I could Love Thee, Beloved, 

As if I had knelt at Thy feet 

And felt the touch of Thy hand on my brow, 

and heard Thy gentle voice 

That uttered absolutions 

And gave encouragement to the sick 

And the unfortunate. 

Oh, that I could Love Thee, 

As those You touched Love Thee

As the needy children whom You comforted Loved Thee, 

As the sick ones You healed Loved Thee 

As Your closest friends Loved Thee, 

If I could Love Thee, as she, who knew Thee best,

Thy blessed Mother, Loved Thee, 

And most of all, Beloved, 

As Thou hast Loved me.

Let me at least Love Thee 

With all my heart and soul and mind and strength. 

And let my Love be worthy of Thy name,

Showing itself by dedication, 

By generosity, 

By sacrifice,

Acknowledging that all that comes from You is a Gift,

Counting no cost when I work for Thee,

Giving up gladly anything

When Thou dost ask it, 

When it will to serve Thee better 

And to further the interests of Thy Sacred Heart.

Dispose of me, Beloved, as Thou pleasest; 

For I am entirely Thine. 

I offer Thee all that I am and all that I have. 

I shall give all for Thy Glory 

Come, my Beloved, 

Crucified for the Love of me. 

Come, my Beloved, 

In the sacrament of Thy Love, 

And be Thou mine, 

As I am Thine. 

Amen
