This one's a keeper! Have you...How Beautiful!!! This one's a keeper! Have you ever seen the prayer by St. Alphonsus "Prayer for a Deeper Love of the Blessed Sacrament" which says "O God of love, O infinite lover, worthy of infinite love, tell me what more You can invent to make us love You? It was not sufficient for You to become man, and to subject Yourself to all our miseries; not sufficient to shed all Your blood for us in torments, and then to die overwhelmed with sorrow, upon a cross destined for the most shameful malefactors. You, at last, obliged Yourself to be hidden, under the species of bread and wine, to become our food, and so united with each one of us. Tell me, I repeat, what more can You invent to make Yourself loved by us? Ah, wretched shall we be if we do not love You in this life! And when we shall have entered into eternity, what remorse shall we not feel for not having loved you! My Jesus, I will not die without loving you, and loving You exceedingly.! I am heartily sorry, and am pained for having so greatly offended You. But now I love You above all things. I love You more than myself, and I consecrate to You all my affections. You Who inspire me with this desire, give me also grace to accomplish it. My Jesus, my Jesus, I desire nothing of You but Yourself. Now that You have drawn me to Your love, I leave all, I renounce all, and I bind myself to You. You alone are sufficient for me."<br /><br />I just love St. Alphonsus' writings. He really writes from the heart.<br /><br />Hope all is well. It just occurred to me, at 5AM, that I had not checked your blog in a very long time. Then I could not remember the address. I upgraded my computer and I guess that's why I hadn't contacted you. <br />Fortunately I saved past posts and one of them had your address.<br /><br />Hope you like the prayer. Holding you in prayer daily.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073227797975107162noreply@blogger.com
