Holy Father, remove from my soul, I pray,
my own will and graft on it yours
so that your will and not mine is always done.
Just as when one cuts a branch from a tree
and grafts on a better one,
its fruit is also much better,
remove from this tree, Oh Father,
the little branch of my will
and graft on it your holy will;
then I will be certain that it will bear beautiful fruit.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.~ by St. Francis of Assisi
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, truly present in the Holy Eucharist,
I consecrate my body and soul to be entirely one with Your heart,
being sacrificed at every instant on all the altars of the world
and giving praise to the Father pleading for the coming of His Kingdom.
Please receive this humble offering of myself.
Use me as You will for the glory of the Father and salvation of souls.
Most Holy Mother of God, never let me be separated from Your Divine Son.
Please defend and protect me as Your special child.
Amen.
This is a very special, traditional Catholic Prayer.
