Jesus, love of my soul, center of my heart!
Why am I not more eager
to endure pains and tribulations
for love of you.
when you, my God,
have suffered so much for me?
Come, then, every sort of trial in the world,
for this is my delight, to suffer for Jesus.
This is my joy, to follow my Savior,
and to find my consolation
with my consoler on the cross.
This is my happiness, this my pleasure:
to live with Jesus, to walk with Jesus,
to converse with Jesus,
to suffer with and for him:
this is my treasure.
Memorial: October 31
