• There is nothing more natural to man than to love, nothing that costs less, nothing that can be done more easily. The true objects of love are goodness and beauty, the two most powerful charms of the human heart. God is infinite goodness, beauty by essence; He is the center and abyss of all conceivable goodness and beauty; there is therefore nothing more worthy of man, sweeter to his heart, more in line with his nature than to love God. Lord, have mercy on us. / Christ, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us. / Christ, graciously hear us. Lord, have mercy on us. / Christ, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us. / Christ, hear us.

Let Us Pray. – O God, who possesses in an infinite degree all that is lovable and perfect, and who is perfection itself, destroy and tear from our hearts every feeling and affection that would be contrary to the love we owe You; inflame us with a love so pure and ardent, that we love nothing but You, in You and for You, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
