R. that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: O dear St. Rose, by the excessive love that inundated your
soul when you heard from the lips of Christ the loving words: "Rose of
My heart, you shall be My spouse!" obtain for us and for our children a
true love for Jesus Christ and an ardent desire to be united with Him.
May our hearts, enclosed in His Heart, seek nothing but the perfection
of His virtues, the fullness of His grace, and the imitation of His
example! Obtain for us patience in suffering; gentleness under
offenses; humility in calumny and abuse; and in all the affairs of life
a pure heart and a contented mind. Obtain for us constant and generous
renunciation of our willful desires, perfect victory over evil
inclination, perseverance in prayer and good works, that we may ever
please our God and, in the end, attain to a share in His glory. Amen.
