 -beloved Son  Jesus  Christ,  in  full  satisfaction  for  all my sins,  and  perfect  amendment  of  my  life. Grant, most merciful  Father,  for  the  merits  of  thy  only-begotten  Son,  to  the  living  mercy  and  grace,  and  to the  souls  departed  rest  and  life  everlasting. Amen.

lory, honor,  and  praise  be  to  our  Lord  Jesus Christ; may all  the  world  adore  thee. Blessed be thy  holy  name,  who  for  us  sinners  vouchsafedst  to be  born  of  a humble  Virgin; and  blessed  be  thine infinite goodness,  who  didst  die  upon  the  cross  for our redemption.

O Jesus, Son  of  God,  and  Saviour  of  mankind, we beseech  thee  to  have  mercy  on  us,  and  so  dispose our lives  here  by thy grace,  that  we  may  hereafter rejoice with  thee  forever  in  thy  heavenly  kingdom. Amen.

DEAR Jesus,  my blessed  Saviour  and  Redeemer, the sweet  comforter  of  all  sad,  desolate,  and distressed souls,  behold  thy  poor  servant,  humbly prostrate at  the  foot  of  thy  holy  cross,  bewailing  her misery', imploring  thy  mercy,  and  beseeching  thee  to take  pity  and  compassion  upon  her  in  this  her  present and pressing  affliction,  (infirmity,  poverty,  temptation, trouble,  or  whatsoever  other  spiritual  or  corporal necessity.)

Hear my prayers,  O assured  refuge  of  all  afflicted wretches, behold  my  tears,  consider  my  sorrows,  and remedy my  distresses; for,  finding  myself  encompassed with  very  grievous  calamities,  by  reason  of my  great  crimes,  I know  not  whither  to  fly for succor,
