"As Thy great St. Gertrude used to take her life, her heart, her body and soul and mind and all, and drop them into the chalice at the moment of the offertory as a drop of water and pray You to change all into Yourself at the consecration of the Mass - so do I drop my life and all in the chalice of Your Sacred Heart that I might be changed truly into You. Consecrate these trials of my life which would go unrewarded unless united to You. Transubstantiate me, so that like the bread which is now Your Body and the wine which is now Your Blood, I too may be wholly Yours."
