Dedicatory Prayer of St. Francis de Sales

    

O sweet Jesus, my Lord, my Saviour and my God, behold me prostrate before Thy Majesty, dedicating and consecrating this work to Thy glory.  Quicken the words which it contains with Thy blessing, so that the souls for whom I have written it may receive from it many holy inspirations which I desire for them, and especially of imploring Thy boundless mercy on my behalf, so that, while showing to others the way of devotion in this world, I become not a castaway and be not confounded in the next; but may I sing forever with them as a hymn of triumph the words which I utter with my whole heart in witness of my fidelity amid the hazards of this mortal life: Live Jesus! Live Jesus! Yes, Lord Jesus, live and reign in our hearts for ever and ever. Amen.

 

God be blessed
