Litany of Christ the Bridegroom
Christ the Bridegroom of my soul, draw me more deeply into union with You.
Healer of my heart, heal my wounds.
King of Love, teach me to love as You do.
Perfect Gentleman, cast out all my fear.
Gentle Beloved, touch me with Your tender love.
Beloved of the Father, draw me to the Heart of our Father.
Loving Brother, open my heart to receive the love of our Father.
Beautiful Savior, save me from the enemy of my salvation.
Mighty Rescuer, lift me out of the miry bog of sin.
Sturdy Shelter, protect me.
Safe Refuge, hide me in Your Heart.
Loyal Friend, keep me close to You.
Trusted Confidante, increase my trust in You.
Patient Teacher, teach me Your ways of love and mercy.
Giver of Gifts, sustain me with Your gift of grace.
Faithful God, increase my trust in Your everlasting love.
Lord of my life, love me into the woman/man You created me to be.
Keeper of my heart, shield the treasure of my heart with Your love.
Fulfillment of All Desire, rightly order my desires.
Divine Bridegroom, teach me to love Your Bride, the Church, as You do.
My Jesus, Your conversation is sweetness itself and You are altogether lovable. You are my joy and my gladness. I shall praise Your love above all else. How right it is to love You. May all souls fall in love with You so You may be loved as You deserve. All glory, praise, and honor to You, Christ the Bridegroom, one God with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
