HOU hast  offered  Thyself,  O  Lord! for my  salvation;  I  desire  to  be  sacrificed  for  Thy  glory. I am  Thy  victim,  do  with  me  as  Thou wiliest. Whatever I  have  I  consecrate  entirely  to Thee. Whatever crosses  Thou  mayest  please  to  send me, I  freely  accept  and  bless;  I  receive  them  from Thy hand,  and  unite  them  with  those  Thou  hast endured for  my  sake. I am  now  about  to  leave Thy temple  resolved,  with  Thy  help,  to  serve  Thee faithfully, I  will  strive  to  correct  my  faults,  and chiefly that  to  which  I  am  most  inclined. Thy law shall  thenceforth  direct  me,  and  I  shall  forfeit all,  and  suffer  everything,  rather  than  mortally transgress it.

less, O  my  God,  these  holy  resolutions;  bless us all  by  the  hand  of  Thy  minister,  and  may the effects  of  Thy  benediction  remain  with us forever. In the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the Son, and  of  the  Holy  Ghost. Amen.

HE Lord  said  to  my Lord:    Sit  thou at My  right  hand: Until I  make  thy  enemies thy  footstool.
