 and save  me. Suffer me  not  to  be  eternally  lost,  whom  Thou didst create  out  of  nothing. O good  Jesus! let not  my iniquities  destroy  me,  whom  Thy  bounty  made. O sweet Jesus! recognize in  me  what  is  Thine,  and  efface  all  that  is not  Thine. O sweet  Jesus! show mercy  now  in  the  time  of mercy,  and  condemn  me  not  in  the  day  of  justice. What profit to  Thy  precious  blood,  or  what  honor  will  my  destruction give  Thy  holy  name,  O  Jesus! "The dead  shall  not praise  Thee,  O  Lord  Jesus!  nor  all  they  that  go  down  to hell." O most  amiable  Jesus! most meek,  most  loving Jesus! O Jesus,  Jesus,  Jesus! admit me  to  the  number  of Thy  servants! O Jesus,  comfort  of  all  who  fly  to  Thee! O sweet Jesus! forgive me  my  sins! O Jesus! Son of  the  Virgin Mary, infuse  into  my  soul  grace,  wisdom,  charity,  chastity, and humility,  that  I  may  love  Thee  perfectly,  praise  Thee, serve Thee,  and  eternally  rejoice  and  glory  in  Thee,  with  all who devoutly  honor  and  fervently  invoke  Thy  holy  name,  O Jesus. Amen.

CHILD Jesus,  I  have  recourse  to  Thee;  by  Thy  holy Mother, I  implore  Thy  assistance  in  this  necessity (here mention  your  request),  for  I  firmly  believe  that  Thy divinity can  assist  me. I confidently  hope  to  obtain  Thy holy grace. I love  Thee  with  my  whole  heart  and  my  whole soul. I am  heartily  sorry  for  my  sins,  and  I  entreat  of  Thee, O good  Jesus,  to  give  me  strength  to  overcome  my  evil  passions. I make  the  resolution  of  never  again  offending  Thee, and I  resolve  to  suffer  everything  rather  than  displease  Thee. Henceforth I  wish  to  serve  Thee  faithfully. For the  love of Thee,  O  divine  Child! I will  love  my  neighbor  as  myself. O Jesus,  omnipotent  Child,  I  again  implore  Thy  assistance  on this  occasion  (mention  it). Grant that  I  may  possess  Thee eternally, with  Mary  and  Joseph,  and  adore  Thee  with  the angels and  saints  in  heaven. Amen.
