O Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thou hast been very generous to me. From Thee I have received the gift of the traditional Catholic Faith, health of body and soul, a loving Catholic family, a beautiful wife and children, countless good friends, successful business endeavors, a beautiful home, every material blessing for which I could hope, and so many other wonderful gifts which I do not deserve. I am a sinner and deserve nothing but the deepest fires of hell, but solely out of the goodness of Thy paternal Heart, Thou has given to me all of these things. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Thy love for me!
And yet, O my infinitely good and generous Jesus, I am not satisfied. I constantly find myself wanting more. I try to remind myself that I already have so much more than I deserve and that I should be happy, satisfied, and content. Truly it is staggering to what degree I have been blessed! Why, then, am I still so desirous for more? Why do these tremendous blessings not satisfy me?
I think, O my Jesus, it is because I was created for Thee. Thou art infinite goodness, and all the goods of this world are nothing in comparison with Thee. I was created to enjoy Thy infinite goodness, beauty, and truth for all eternity; and nothing will satisfy me until I reach that end. So I will go on being unsatisfied in this life, O Jesus. I will suffer patiently and cheerfully with the help of Thy grace, but please be merciful to me along my way of the cross. Please grant me a share in Thy strength. Please bring me someday to eternal rest and happiness where my heart can be satisfied with Thee for all eternity.
“Our hearts were made for Thee, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in Thee.”
