That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

and I may decrease,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may become holier than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it — provided that I
may become as holy as I should.

I trust in Your infinite mercy. God is my Father and so I,
His child, have every claim to His divine Heart;
and the greater the darkness,
the more complete our trust should be.

After recording the prayer in her diary, she finished the entry for that date with this thought: “I do not understand how it is possible not to trust in Him who can do all things. With Him, everything; without Him, nothing. He is Lord. He will not allow those who have placed all their trust in Him to be put to shame.”
