me; they are mine, because for the future I am resolved to admit nothing into my heart but what hath place in thine. Receive then, O God, the merits of this Sacred Heart in satisfaction for my sins, and in thanksgiving for all the benefits conferred upon me. Receive them, O Lord, as so many motives for granting my petitions. Give me, O Lord, for their sake, all the graces I need, but especially the gift of final perseverance. Receive them as so many acts of love, adoration, and praise, which I now offer to thy divine majesty. This Sacred Heart, this Heart alone, can love, honour, and glorify thee as thou deservest. Amen.

ACT OF LOVE BY BLESSED MARG. MARY ALACOQUE.
O MOST loving Heart of my only beloved, unable to love and glorify thee according to the extent of the desire Thou hast given me, I invite all heaven and earth to assist me, and I unite myself to the burning seraphim, in order to love thee. O heart, burning with love, why dost thou not set heaven and earth on fire with thy pure flame, to consume whatever they contain, that all creatures may breathe
