When I Love Jesus

When I Love Jesus 

When I love Jesus my Lord,

He gives me tiny pains.

He protects me from becoming proud.

When I sin, He consoles me;

He leads me to ask His forgiveness,

He invites me to be reconciled.

When I am not loving Him,

He leads me to repent;

He invites me into His presence.

When I love Him,

He guides me into silence,

To speak to me in secret.

When I love Him,

He leads me to reflect upon Him,

He gives me endless hours to be with Him.

When I love Him,

He leads me to know Him more and more,

He reveals Himself to me.

When I love Him,

He does marvelous things for me,

His right arm embraces me.

When I love Him,

He leads me to glorify Him;

He guides me to praise Him.

When I love Him,

He makes me love others,

Even to love my enemies!

When I love Him,

He rejoices;

He starts speaking to me.

When I love Him,

He leads me towards others,

To know their misery and pain,

To counsel them in His Name.

When I love Him,

He does miracles,

Of which the most beautiful of all

Is His presence in the Holy Eucharist.

I love the Holy Mass;

When a Holy Priest sacrifices the Holy Eucharist.

Oh Jesus I love you in the form of the most tiny piece of Bread.

When I am hungry,

He feeds me

With His Word and the Word made flesh.

Lord, how can I make a return

For all these wonders of eternal wealth,

With which You have endowed me day after day?

Lord Jesus, I trust in You,

I thank you for all Your countless blessings,

With which You will continue to bless me,

Till the evening of my life!
