I salute Thee, O divine Heart, with the three Magi who offered their homage to Thee.
Regard me, I beseech Thee, with the same love and kindness with which Thou didst receive them, that I may offer with my heart, gold, frankincense and myrrh; that is to say, my intellect, my memory and my will, in complete subjection to Thee, in faith, hope, charity, in thought, word and deed.
Accept my offering, accept my heart, and grant that I may live and die thanking Thee for the invaluable favor of being called to the true faith.
