Prayer to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus (Heart of Jesus in the Eucharist, sweet companion in our exile)
Heart of Jesus in the Eucharist, sweet companion in our exile, I adore Thee. Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, Heart solitary, Heart humiliated, Heart abandoned, Heart forgotten, Heart despised, Heart outraged, Heart ignored by men, Heart, lover of our hearts, Heart desirous of being loved, Heart patient in waiting for us, Heart eager to hear us, Heart longing to be prayed to, Heart source of new graces, Heart wrapped in silence, desiring to speak to souls, Heart, the sweet refuge of the hidden life, Heart, teacher of the secrets of union with God, Heart of him who sleeps, yet ever watches, Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, have pity on us. Jesus victim, I desire to console Thee. I unite myself to Thee, and sacrifice myself with Thee I annihilate myself in thy presence. I would forget myself to be mindful of Thee. I would be forgotten and despised for love of Thee. And be neither understood nor loved, unless by Thee. I will silence myself to listen to Thee, I will abandon myself to lose myself in Thee. Grant that I may thus appease thy thirst, the thirst for my sanctification and salvation, and that being purified I may bestow on Thee a pure and true love. I would not longer weary thy patience; take possession of me, I give myself to Thee. I offer Thee all my actions, my intellect to be illuminated by Thee, my heart to be guided by Thee, my will to be made strong, my soul and body to be nourished, my misery to be lightened. Eucharistic Heart of my Jesus, whose blood is the life of my soul, may it be no longer I that live, but do thou alone live in me. Amen.
