 I form  the  intention  of  gaining  all  the  indulgences I can  in  favor  of  the  souls  in  purgatory. I resolve to conform  myself  to  Thy  holy  will,  particularly  in those  things  which  are  contrary  to  my  inclinations, saying always:  May  the  most  just,  most  high,  most adorable will  of  God  be  in  all  things  done,  and praised, and  forever  magnified!

My God! for the  love  of  Jesus  Christ,  preserve  me this  day  from  all  sin,  especially  (here  mention  the fault  into  which  you  fall  the  oftenest),  and  grant  me the  grace  of  practising  the  virtue  of  (here  mention the  virtue  of  which  you  stand  most  in  need).

My Jesus,  by  Thy  merits  grant  me  the  grace  of living  united  to  Thee! Most holy  Mary,  my Mother! bless me  and  take  me  beneath  thy  mantle! My guardian  angel,  my  holy  patrons,  intercede,  for me! Saints of  paradise,  pray  for  me!

''The Lord's  Prayer. The Hail  Mary. The Creed. ''

O sweetest  Heart  of  Jesus,  I  implore  that  I  may ever love  Thee  more  and  more. *

Three Hail  Marys  in  honor  of  the  purity  of  the B. V.  M.


 * For the members  of  the  Confraternity  of  Our  Lady  of  Perpetual Help,  it  is  sufficient  to  add  to  these  three  Hail  Marys  one  Glory  be  to the  Father,  in  honor  of  St.  Alphonsus,  with  the  two  following  ejaculations:

Mary, Mother  of  Perpetual  Help! pray for  me. — My protector,  St.  Alphonsus,  grant  that  in  all  my necessities  I  may  have  recourse  to  Mary.
