Accept This Sacrifice   Oh, my God, Who through the life and work of my Lord and Savior Jesus, has graciously brought me unto Thyself in salvation, take, I pray Thee, all of me. As Christ has made Himself mine in the Incarnation and in the Holy Eucharist, so I make myself Thine through His merits. Cleanse from me, I pray, all that is repugnant to Thee. Take from me all impurities of mind and motive. Loose me from all earthly bonds of the heart, save those which serve to bind me closer to Thee and Thy purposes for me. I desire Thy Holy Presence to be the air I breathe. Make me to desire Thy Word, Thy Body and Thy Blood as my necessary food. May I be always and only for Thee; Thine to use without having to ask my permission. May those I love know Thy love, and come to love Thee more, through my love for them. May my mind think Thy thoughts, my heart feel Thy emotions, my eyes see as Thou seest, my ears hear as Thou hearest, my lips speak Thy word, my feet travel Thy ways and my touch leave behind the fingerprints of the Divine. Accept this sacrifice of myself, as poor as it is, for it is all I have. Enlarge my soul to be a reservoir of Thy Spirit and make all of my life a channel of Thy Love and Mercy to others. For the glory of Thy Name. Amen.
