For the Help of the Sacred Heart
Take away,
O my Jesus,
the blindness of my heart,
that I may know Thee;
take away the hardness of my heart,
that I may fear Thee;
take away the coldness of my heart,
that I may resist everything that is contrary to Thy will;
take away its heavy, earthly sluggishness and selfishness,
that I may be capable of heroic sacrifice for Thy glory,
and for the souls whom Thou has redeemed with Thy own most precious blood.
Amen.
