Ave Maria Meditations
I love You , Lord Jesus, with my whole heart, my whole soul, and my whole strength; and if you see that I don’t love You as I ought, I desire at least to love You so; and if I don’t desire it sufficiently, I want at least to desire it in this way.
O most Sacred Body torn open by five wounds, put Yourself as a seal upon my heart and impress Your charity upon it! Seal my feet that I may follow Your steps; seal my hands, that they may always do good works; seal my side that it may ever burn in fervent acts of love for You. O most Precious Blood that washes clean and purifies all men: Wash my soul and put a sign on my face so that I may never love any one else but Thee.
+Cardinal Bona
