June is a month of special devotion to the Heart of Jesus - as are all Fridays. Today is the last Friday in June. The inscription on this icon translates: Here is the heart which has loved us so much!
Lord, give me a heart
to love as you love...
give me a heart
to see as you see...
give me a heart
to forgive others freely...
give me a heart
as deep as your own...
give me a heart
at peace with your word...
give me a heart
for serving the poor...
give me a heart
both generous and kind...
give me a heart
of strength and conviction...
give me a heart
of gentle compassion...
give me a heart
as pure as fresh snow...
give me a heart
courageous and bold...
give me a heart
both simple and humble...
give me a heart
healed by your mercy...
give me a heart
filled with trust, filled with hope...
give me a heart
to welcome the outcast...
give me a heart
steeped in your wisdom...
give me a heart
that hungers for truth...
give me a heart
to welcome your Spirit...
give me a heart
where you are at home...
give me a heart
at home with your own...
and give me a heart, Lord,
to love as your love...
Amen.
