Jesus, delight of my soul...

Jesus, delight of my soul, Bread of Angels,

My whole being is plunged in You,

And I live Your divine life as do the elect in heaven,

And the reality of this life will not cease, though I be laid in the grave.

Jesus-Eucharist, Immortal God,

Who dwell in my heart without cease,

When I possess You, death itself can do me no harm.

Love tells me that I will see You at life’s end.

Permeated by Your divine life,

I gaze with assurance at the heavens thrown open for me,

And death will shame-facedly go away, empty-handed,

For Your divine life is contained within my soul.

And although by Your holy will, O Lord,

Death is to touch my body,

I want this dissolution to come as quickly as possible,

For through it I am entering eternal life.

Jesus-Eucharist, life of my soul,

You have raised me up to the eternal spheres,

And this, by Your agony and death  midst terrible tortures.

Saint Faustina Kowalska
