Prayer to the Sacred Heart

– by St. Therese of Lisieux

O Heart of Jesus, treasure of 

tenderness, You Yourself are 

my happiness, my only hope.

You who knew how to charm

my tender youth,

Stay with me till the last light.

Lord, to You alone I’ve given my life, 

and all my desires are well known to You.

It’s in your infinite goodness that I want 

to lose myself, O Heart of Jesus.
