Offering to Merciful Love

O my God! Most blessed Trinity,
I desire to love thee and to make thee loved,
to labour for the glory of Holy Church
by saving souls on earth
and by delivering those suffering in purgatory.

I desire to fulfil perfectly thy will
and to attain the degree of glory thou hast prepared for me
in thy kingdom.
In a word, I desire to be a saint;
but I feel my weakness,
and I beseech thee, O my God,
to be thyself my sanctity.

I offer myself as a victim of holocaust to thy merciful love,
that thou wouldst consume me incessantly,
allowing the floods of infinite tenderness
shut up within thee to flow out into my soul,
and that thus I may become a martyr of thy love, O my God.
