Extracts from the Dux Spiritualis by the Venerable Louis de Ponte
My Jesus [page 178] who both heard and spoke in prayer of
the excess of love and sorrow Thou wouldst manifest in atonement for my sins in
Thy sacred Passion: how great a benefit to me has this love and sorrow been!
I offer myself to drink the chalice of salvation which
Thou didst drink, though it should bring me immense labour and suffering, that
in my measure I may show what gratitude I may for so great a benefit.
Grant me, I beseech Thee, Lord, to be enlightened by some
ray of light that shone forth at Thy Transfiguration, that I may no longer live
in myself but wholly in Thee.
May I serve Thee as Thy slave, although with the love of
a child.
