 guide me. My holy  patron  saints,  I  salute  you,  and beseech you,  together  with  all  the  angels  and  saints,  to pray  for  me.

Unto the  King  of  ages,  the  immortal,  invisible,  only God, be  honor  and  glory  for  ever  and  ever!

The Lord  bless  us,  and  keep  us  from  all  evil,  and bring us  unto  life  everlasting.

May the  souls  of  the  faithful  departed,  through  the mercy of  God,  rest  in  peace. Amen.

SWEETEST Jesus,  divine  Friend,  Thou  hast  been watching and  waiting  patiently  and  lovingly in Thy  lonely  tabernacle  all  through  the  dark  night  for this moment,  which  finds  me  once  more  at  Thy  blessed feet, that  I  may  be  consoled  and  strengthened  by  Thy presence. And now,  my  dearest  Lord,  I  have  come  in humble  adoration  before  Thee,  with  a  heart  full  of thanks  for  abiding  with  us  "all  days,"  for  having  protected and  preserved  me  during  the  past  night,  and  for having given  me  another  day  to  labor  for  Thy  greater honor and  glory,  and  for  the  salvation  of  my  soul. In reparation for  all  the  sufferings  that  Thy  Sacred  Heart endures in  the  Blessed  Sacrament,  I  offer  Thee  the adoration and  praise  of  all  the  just  on  earth,  of  all  the angels and  saints  in  heaven,  and  especially  of  Thy blessed Mother. I offer  Thee  my  heart,  my  soul.,  my body,  and  all  that  I  have. My whole  being  shall  be consecrated  to  Thy  service. Deign to  make  me  obedient, modest,  humble,  patient,  kind,  and  simple  as  a  little child; draw  me  to  Thee  in  ever  closer  union  with  Thy loving Sacred  Heart;  make  me  resigned  to  Thy  holy will, and  grant  that  I  may  be  found  worthy  one  day  of that  reward  which  Thou  hast  promised  to  those  who love and  serve  Thee  faithfully  on  earth. Give me  Thy grace, that  I  may  become  a  saint. Oh, stay  with  us,
