Prayer of St. Alphonsa

“Oh Lord Jesus, /hide me in the wound of your Sacred Heart. / Free me from my desire to be loved and esteemed. / Guard me from my evil attempts to win fame and honour. / Make me humble till I become a small spark in the flame of love in your Sacred Heart. / Grant me the grace to forget myself and all worldly things. / Jesus, sweet beyond words,/ convert all worldly consolations into bitterness for  me. / Oh my Jesus, the Sun of   justice, / enlighten my intellect and mind with Your sacred rays. / Purify my heart, / consume me with burning love for You/ and make me one with   You. /

Amen”.
