 O my  Divine  Saviour! I most  humbly  beseech  thee,  to penetrate  my  soul  with  the  most  lively  gratitude  for  the infinite love,  which  brought  thee  from  heaven  to  suffer  and die for  me.

My sweet  Jesus! by all  thou  hast  done  and  suffered  for me, grant  me  the  grace  of  final  perseverance.

Watch over  me,  O  Lord! for, abandoned  to  myself,  I shall  certainly  betray  thee.

Incline unto  my  aid,  O  God! — O Lord! make haste  to help  me.

Protect me,  Lord,  against  all  my  enemies;  and  in  all dangers, appear  in  my  defence.

I will  not  fear,  though  I  walk  in  the  midst  of  the  shadow of death,  because  thou  art  with  me,  O  Lord!

My Jesus! remain always  with  me — still  support  and comfort me.

O Lord! preserve me  as  the  apple  of  thine  eye,  and under the  shadow  of  thy  wings  protect  me.

Assist me,  my  Jesus! that I  may  continually  labor  to overcome  nature.

My God! teach me  to  know  thee— teach  me  to  know myself.

Prevent me,  my  Jesus! from being  unfaithful  to  any  one of thy  graces.

My God! enlighten all  who  are  in  error.

Have mercy  on  all  sinners,  O  Jesus! I beseech  thee.

My Jesus! merciful Saviour! comfort all  who  are  in need  of  consolation.

O bountiful  God! provide for  all  who  are  in  want.

God of  Goodness! let the  light  of  thy  mercies  shine  on the  poor  souls  in  purgatory.

My Jesus! have mercy  on  all  the  souls  in  purgatory, through thy  bitter  passion,  I  beseech  thee,  and  thy  glorious  name,  Jesus.

O merciful  Father  of  all  mankind! for the  sake  of  Jesus, our Divine  Saviour,  despise  not  my  supplication  in behalf of thy  dear  suffering  children,  who  can  no  longer  implore mercy for  themselves.

Father! have pity  on  all  thy  suffering  children.

Lord, that  I  may  see!

Lord! if thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean.

It is  good  for  me,  O  Lord! that thou  hast  humbled  me; for I  have  thereby  learned  thy  justifications.
