Quote of the day, 26 June: Blessed Mary Josephine

Ah! My Jesus, sweet and dear, I consecrate to you every minute of my day, everything I think, feel, and hope!

I know that what I offer you is only an instant of misery, but you, who can do all things, transform everything into praise of you, who are the love of my heart.

Work, O my Jesus, within my soul; work, and grant that in your hands I may become an instrument of your glory.

I am weak, but you, my strength, act powerfully within me. Do not delay, and quickly heal the infirmities of my soul.

I am abandoned to your most holy will, O Jesus. I love you with all my heart. I am deeply sorry for my sins. I believe in you and adore you.

I desire you within my soul. I bless you and thank you, O my Love.

In you I immerse myself; in you I hope; in you I trust.
