Hail, sacred Heart of Jesus, living and quickening source of eternal life, infinite treasure of the Divinity, burning furnace of divine love! Thou art my refuge and my sanctuary. O my adorable Saviour, consume my heart with that burning fire with which Thine is ever inflamed; pour down on my soul those graces which flow from Thy love, and let my heart be so united with Thine that our wills may be one, and that mine in all things may be conformed to Thine. May Thy divine will be equally the standard and rule of all my desires and of all my actions. Amen.
