 dear  Jesus,  till  the  evening  of  life. Pardon me  all  my past  transgressions;  for  I  love  Thee  truly  with  my  whole heart; and  when  death  comes,  say  to  me:  " Enter  thou into  the  joy  of  thy  Lord." Amen.

N the  name  of  the  Father,  ✠ and  of  the  Son,  and  of the  Holy  Ghost. Amen. Come, O  Holy  Ghost,  fill  the  hearts  of  Thy  faithful, and kindle  in  them  the  fire  of  Thy  love.

REAT God! the Lord  of  heaven  and  earth! I prostrate myself  before  Thee. With the  adorable Heart  of  Jesus,  the  immaculate  heart  of  Mary,  and with all  Thy  angels  and  saints,  I  adore  Thee,  and  render to  Thee  the  homage  of  my  being  and  life. I acknowledge Thee  to  be  my  Creator  and  sovereign  Lord. I devote myself  to  Thy  divine  service  now  and  for  ever. Amen.

MY God! I firmly  believe  all  the  sacred  truths which Thy  Holy  Catholic  Church  believes  and teaches; because  Thou  hast  revealed  them,  Who  canst neither deceive  nor  be  deceived.

MY God! relying on  Thy  infinite  power,  goodness, and promises,  I  hope  to  obtain  the  pardon  of  my sins,  the  assistance  of  Thy  grace,  and  life  everlasting, through the  merits  of  Jesus  Christ,  my  Lord  and  Redeemer.
