RECOLLECTION DAY

Good Jesus, your sweet appeals are like sharp spurs to
my hard heart; you want me to be totally yours; so here I am
wholly yours, and to please you I resolve this month ...
1. Never to indulge in any useless thought; I will spend
all the free moments in sweet conversation with you; I will kiss
your holy Wounds as a penance, every time that I fail in this
respect.
2. In my desire to honour you and please you in all my

actions, however small, and in order that you may be more
delighted with them, I resolve to do everything with gladness,
without ever complaining of anything or showing that I am
tired.
3. To do everything with a humble heart, and to use
every means to come to know my own sinfulness.

My dear Jesus, I beg you, grant that the whole of this
month may be filled with saintly deeds, fit for Heaven.
Mary, my dear Mummy, for charity’s sake help me
become a saint.
St Aloysius, my Guardian Angel, all you Saints of
Heaven, pray much for me. Amen.
