O Eternal Love, You commanded Your Sacred Image to be painted, to reveal to us the inconceivable fount of Your Mercy. You bless whoever approaches Your Rays and a soul all black will turn to snow. O sweet Jesus, it is here You have established the throne of Your Mercy to bring joy and hope to sinful man.

From your open Heart, as from a pure fount flows comfort to a repentant heart and soul. May praise and glory for this Image , never ceases to stream from a man’s soul. May the praise of God’s Mercy pour from every heart, now and at every hour, forever and ever. Oh my God, when I look into the future, I am frightened, but why plunge into the future? 

Only the present moment is precious to me as the future may never enter my soul at all. It is no longer in my power, to change, correct or add to the past; for neither sages nor prophets could do that, and so, what the past has embrace I must entrust to you. 

O present moment, you belong to me, whole and entire. I desire to use you as best I can and although I am weak and small, you grant me the grace of Your Omnipotence. And so trusting in Your Mercy, I will walk through life like a little child. Offering You each day this heart, burning with love for Your greater glory. Amen.
