Lord, in the sincerity of my heart, I offer myself to Thee this day, to be Thy servant evermore, to serve Thee, and to become a sacrifice of perpetual praise to Thee.
Receive me with this sacred oblation of Thy precious Body, which I offer to Thee this day, in the presence of Thy angels invisibly standing by, that it may be for mine and all the people's salvation.
-Bk. IV, ch. ix:
____________
Oor Lord's love for us is so incomprehensible, so delicate, that He will do nothing without us; He wishes us to share with Him in the salvation of souls. The Creator of the universe waits for the prayer, the self-immolation of one poor little soul to save a multitude of others, redeemed, as she was, by the Precious Blood.
-Esprit de Saint Therese.
