My dearest Lord Jesus, let me come to you and rest in your Most Sacred Heart; you know very well my countless labors and heavy burdens in life; ease my sufferings, I do not ask to see the distant shore nor end of the tunnel, just one step is enough for me to forge on in you.
Despite my many tears and laments in this life, let me listen to your silence, Lord Jesus; let me feel your hug and embrace; let me learn from you to keep on serving lovingly, to be always gentle and humble of heart amid the many trials and difficulties I face that are often unknown to many even to those dear to me.
O Jesus in your Most Sacred Heart, let me be present in you by leaving my past behind and stop worrying of the future; help me to let go of my many disappointments and frustrations to see the many opportunities you offer me in every here and now, to finally take your yoke that is easy, and your burden that is light by living in every present moment right in your heart, here deep inside me. Amen.
