O truly delightful One!
You alone are my help and my salvation, my life and my happiness.
This I pray, sweet Jesus, as I cling to Your feet-
Take not Yourself, my Dearest, from me,
for You are life, and without You I cannot live:
You, Jesus, are Love!
Love, dear Lord, which is the blood of my heart.
I do not want to live if there is no love, no You.
Thus I pray, and, by Your grace, I trust-
dear beautiful Jesus, I know-
that You will be ever with me, and I with You,
as Father and child, one friend to another,
as Brother and brother, Lover and beloved,
in life, in death, and in Life!
Hail Hail Jesus! Father, look at my heart! My body! I am soiled, Beloved, by the sins of this world, by the weakness of my mind, but I want YOU! Clean me, please! Wash me in Your BLOOD! Make me worthy of the places of my dear brother, Saint John the Beloved, resting blissfully upon Your breast, and of my dear sister, Saint Gemma Galgani, who You blessed with the most beautiful gift of opening Your side to her, oh, hail, hail, hail my Jesus!!! I pray this be my song forever- Hail my Lord, Hail my Jesus!
There are no sweeter words than "Lord Jesus Christ"!
