Act of Oblation to Merciful Love by St. Thérèse of Lisieux

O my God! Most Blessed Trinity, I desire to love Thee and to make Thee loved, to work for the glory of Holy Church by saving souls on earth and liberating those suffering in Purgatory. I desire to accomplish Thy will perfectly and to reach the degree of glory Thou hast prepared for me in Thy Kingdom. In a word, I desire to be a Saint, but I feel my helplessness and I beg Thee, O my God, to be Thyself my Sanctity! In the evening of this life, I shall appear before Thee with empty hands, for I do not ask Thee, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is stained in Thine eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in Thine own Justice and to receive from Thy Love the eternal possession of Thyself. I offer myself as a victim of holocaust to Thy Merciful Love, asking Thee to consume me incessantly, allowing the waves of infinite tenderness shut up within Thee to overflow into my soul, and that thus I may become a martyr of Thy Love, O my God! Amen.
