You are with me, Lord, my God. .. Give me, my God the immense love possessed by the saints who lived for you and not for themselves. The mere thought of your presence comforted them in their difficulties. And when I receive you into my heart at Holy Communion, my Creator and my God, you allow me to be so closely united with you…
Give me then, something worthy to offer you. I also place my life, my body, my soul and my will into your hands so that it may be done to me according to your desire. Support and guide me yourself, give me the spirit of prayer so that I may be pleasing to you.
Teach me detachment, Lord, for you know I speak of what I want, and I do not do it.
But you are so good, my Lord and my God, that you will take into account my good will and help me to do what is impossible without you. 1837
