An Elevation to the Sacred harts of JESVS and MARY, to obtaine the love of God.

O Inflamed harts living with love! ô Sanctuaries of the di∣vinity! temples of the Sovereign Majesty, Altars of Divine Charity! harts that burn with love for God and me; I honour you, I love you, and I melt with love and respect in your presence, I unite my self to your holy dispositions, I will yes I will burn with your fire, and live with your life, what joy have I to se you happy, and content; what part do I take in your graces, in your sorrowes, and in your glory? with how good a hart would I dye and suffer all things rather then displease you. O my hart we must act no lon∣ger but according to the inclinations of these sacred harts, you ought to

expire in silence in their presence to all that is human of naturall in you.

2. O that I were able to engage all the harts of mankind to render homage to the hart of JESVS and MARY, and to forme themselves according to their divine modelle, ô harts full of grace, purity, fervour, and humility, inspire my hart with these sentiments, I unite my self to you, I loose my self in you, I will live no more but by you, and for you.

3. Thus all the employment of my hart shall be from hence forward to remain in silence and respect, an∣nihilated in the presence of JESVS and MARY, and there (as a burning lampe that consumes it self before the Blessed Sacrament) to burn to suffer and to dye. Be it so

The holy Mother of God hath lately promised to one of her Chil∣dren, that whoever shall say the fol∣lowing Prayer with devotion, if they be in the grace of God she shall aug∣ment

the divine love in their harts, at each of these twelve salutations and benedictions, which it containes, and if they are in mortall sinn, with her sweet and Virginall hand she will knock at the dore of their harts, at each salutation, to excite them to open unto grace; and she added that when one should find any persons in great sinnes and hard to be converted, that it would be good to excite them to say this prayer with a good will, or at least to consent to have it sayd for them: mervelous effects of it have lately been seen in severall per∣sons;
