Lord, Father and Educator of my life,

who disciplined my heart,

You who ravished my soul

with a single one of Your glances,

do not hide Your Holy Face from me,

return that I may contemplate on You;

O Jesus, come! come to us

where light itself

is like the dead of night!

your King is here .... pray with Me to the Father:

Father,

I consecrate myself

in soul and body to Your service,

so that Your Eyes and Your Heart

never leave me;

set Your Royal Throne inside me

and give me Your orders,

make me advance in purity of heart,

to accomplish all that You have given me;

amen;

daughter, I will complete this journey with you; do not be afraid; for your part, if you walk with Me at My pace, you shall not lack; if you turn away from Me, I will double your crosses to save you ....[173] whoever returns to Me, I shall not turn him away; listen to My Heartbeats so that their sound spare you any thought of rebellion; I, Jesus, bless you;
