O our Father, Who reignest in heaven, come and reign in my soul, come and sanctify it by Thy presence ; come and subject it to Thy holy will, and render it obedient to the inspirations of Thy grace. Extinguish in my heart every feeling of hatred and revenge ; forgive me as I forgive. Grant to me such wisdom and such strength that I may triumph over all temptations. Deliver me from all those evils which oppress me, and under which I groan, being burdened. I come to Thee, as a child to his father, to be fed ; as a subject to his prince, to be protected ; as one afflicted to his only succor, to be consoled and comforted.

Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, and to come ; and by the intercession of Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, and of all the saints, mercifully grant peace in our days, that by the assistance of Thy holy grace we may be always free from sin and secure from all disturbance.

Thy body was broken, and Thy blood shed for us : grant that the commemoration of this holy mystery may obtain for us peace ; and that those who receive it may find everlasting rest.
