My dearest Lord Jesus,
let me come to you
and rest in your
Most Sacred Heart;
you know very well my
countless labors
and heavy burdens in life;
ease my sufferings,
I do not ask to see
the distant shore nor
end of the tunnel,
just one step is enough for me
to forge on in you.
Despite my many tears
and laments in this life,
let me listen to your silence,
Lord Jesus;
let me feel your hug and embrace;
let me learn from you
to keep on serving lovingly,
to be always gentle and humble
of heart amid the many trials
and difficulties I face that are
often unknown to many
even to those dear to me.
O Jesus in your Most Sacred Heart,
let me be present in you
by leaving my past behind
and stop worrying of the future;
help me to let go
of my many disappointments
and frustrations to see
the many opportunities you offer me
in every here and now,
to finally take your yoke that is easy,
and your burden that is light
by living in every present moment
right in your heart,
here deep inside me.
Amen.
