 me. " The mercies of the Lord I shall sing forever."

I adore Thee, oh my God, Who hast created me. I believe in Thee, oh Eternal Truth. I hope in Thee, oh Infinite Mercy. I love Thee, oh Supreme Goodness; I love Thee above everything; I love Thee more than myself, for Thou art worthy of being loved: And because I love Thee, I repent with all my heart for having despised Thy grace. I promise Thee to suffer every kind of death, and a thousand deaths, rather than displease Thee.

O Jesus, Son of God, Who didst die for me, have pity upon me! My Saviour, save me; and let it be my salvation to praise Thee through eternity.

O Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me; now it is the time for thee to aid me. — Mary, Mother of grace, Mother of mercy, do thou defend us from the enemy, and receive us in the hour of death. To thy protection we fly, oh holy Mother of God! O Mary, Holy Mother of God, pray for us sinners!

St. Joseph, my patron and father, help me in this hour. St. Michael the Archangel, deliver me from the devils who lie in wait for my soul. O my holy advocates, and ye Saints of paradise, pray to God for me.
