“I came into the world as light,

so that everyone who believes in me 

might not remain in darkness.” (Jn 12:46)

who help others, to find the gift of faith,

that their hearts would be enlightened.

 

Blessed Alphonse Marie,

a woman of light, showed us the way.

Now, it is our turn to bear the light of faith

of the newborn Jesus, forth.

A Prayer of Bl. Alphonse Marie to the Heart of Jesus

Jesus, give the grace to keep my heart pure throughout my life,
so I can serve you in purity.

It is not only in name that I want to remain a virgin;

my heart, too, shall be adorned with those virtues that you expect of a virgin.
My Divine Spouse,
I drive my heart into yours.
Take it and give me yours.
Yet, I live, no longer I, but only in God.

I offer myself every day only to God.

In every moment I offer my body, will, heart,

and my desires only to Him. Amen.
