St. Madeleine Sophie's Daily Prayer

I found this in my mailbox on Sophie's feast yesterday and it is one of my favorite prayers so I am copying it here for you. I suspect that I may have put this in a blog years ago, but here it is:

Sacred Heart of Jesus

Give me a heart that is one with your own;

A humble heart that knows and loves its nothingness;

A gentle heart that holds and calms its own anxiety;

A loving heart that has compassion for the suffering of others;

A pure heart that recoils even at the appearance of evil;

A detached heart that longs for nothing other than the goodness of heaven;

A heart detached from self-love and embraced by the love of God, 

Its attention focused on God, its goodness the only treasure in time and eternity.
