 O glorious Confessors of God, pray for me: through your merits and help may I obtain a yearning after heavenly things, may I possess a love for uprightness of life, may I ever strive to keep the commandments of God.

O all ye holy Virgins, to you do I turn, help me to have good will to all, obtain for me health of soul and body, brotherly love, prudence, and the spirit of justice, fortitude, and temperance.

Again and again, yea always, will I turn to you, O all ye holy Saints: come to my aid: take pity on me; raise me up when I fall; correct me when I err. Through your intercession may I be granted a pure conscience, a salutary sorrow, an upright life, and an ending precious in God's sight; that through you I may come to the company of the blessed through the mercy of Him who reigns, one God and three Persons, for ever and ever. Amen.

O all ye holy Saints, in God's name I pray and beseech you to remember me in your prayers, that my enemy and adversary may never be able to harm me.

O Lord, I have sinned before Thee and Thy angels. Shew me. Lord, Thy mercy.
