Prayer to the Eternal Father

0 almighty and eternal God, it is by the Heart of Jesus, Thy divine Son, my way, my truth and my life, that I draw near to Thee. I come, through this adorable Heart, in union with the holy angels, and with all the Saints, to praise, bless, adore and glorify Thy holy Name, despised and blasphemed by so great a number of sinners. Accompanying, by my desires, the blessed Spirits, ministers of Thy mercy, I go all over the world in order to seek for souls bought by the blood of Thy only Son. I offer them all to Thee by the hands of the holy Virgin and of glorious Saint Joseph, under the protection of the angels and of all the Saints, begging of Thee, in the Name and through the merits of Jesus our Saviour, to convert all blasphemers and all who profane the holy day of Sunday, in order that we may all with one voice, one soul and one heart, praise, bless, love, adore and glorify Thy holy Name, in the heights, the depths, the breadths, the immensity, the fullness of the honour, the praise and the infinite adorations that the sacred Heart of Thy well beloved Son renders to Thee; that Heart which is the organ and the delight of the most Holy Trinity, and which alone knows and perfectly adores Thy holy

Name in spirit and in truth.  Amen.
