Keep My Heart like a Child’s

Holy Mary Mother of God, Keep my heart like a child’s; pure and transparent like a stream. Obtain for me a simple and open heart that does not seek sorrow, Always ready to be given, always filled with compassion. Obtain for me a faithful and generous heart, That does not forget any good and yet keeps no resentment for any evil. Make my heart soft and humble; Loving without asking anything in return, Glad to be mingled in another heart. In front of your divine Son, Obtain for me an indomitable heart that no ingratitude can close, That no indifference can weary. Obtain for me a heart wounded by His love, Tormented for the glory of Jesus Christ; A heart that can only heal in Heaven.
