In this way, may we become more like you in giving our whole being to God and the service of God's plan for creation and human history. We ask this in the Name of Jesus the Lord.

Oh Heart of My Jesus

Oh Heart of my Jesus, abounding in mercy,
Oh Heart of my Jesus, exceedingly kind,
You will not forget us, You will not forsake us,
You will not reject us, O Heart of our God.

Your mercy forgives us,
Your healing protects us,
Your love is our strength Lord,
Our closest true friend,
Our joy and our treasure,
Our true consolation,
You are our protector,
and all that we have.

Our sisters and brothers,
desire your salvation,
Your spirit now sends us,
to share your Good News,
Your love has transformed us,
Your love has redeemed us,
Your call now invites us to go,
in your name.
