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 love Thee; take away the weakness of my heart, that I may resist everything that is contrary to Thy will; take away its heavy, earthly sluggishness, that I may be capable of heroic sacrifice for Thy glory, and for the souls whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy own most precious blood. Amen.
