Spiritual Notes

...prepare me Yourself
for the priesthood,
forming Jesus in me...
so that I may give
Your blessed Son to all.

My heart must beat
only for You... must act only for You,
with You, in You.

May You be the center,
the sigh of my life.
I will love You
and make You loved by others.

I implore You, O my Mother,
to be a Mother to me,
to lead me along the way
of the Heart of Jesus

I will accept every breath of anxiety...
as preparation and thanksgiving
for Holy Communion.

For Your love,
I accept all... even death,
when, where, and how Jesus
and You desire it.

O Virgin, Queen of the Mexican martyrs,
Grant me that one day
I too may be a martyr
for Christ the King.

I am very happy...
to go as a missionary
to the end of the world
a hidden missionary,
persecuted, sacrificed.

I will unite myself to You
in everything to go,
through You, to Jesus.

Yes! I will be
always Yours,
all Yours.

...to love the Sacred Heart of Jesus
in the Most Blessed Sacrament
and in the Cross.

One day, O Mother,
we shall meet again
on the deathbed
of my martyrdom.

Blessed Martino Capelli
