Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

Lord Jesus,
As Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque once prayed, please let my heart never rest until it finds You, who are its center, its love, and its happiness. By the wound in Your heart, pardon the sins that I have committed whether out of malice or out of evil desires. Amen.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
