Deliver my soul from the slavery of its passions. Grant that they may all yield to Thy empire, and that to please and love Thee may ever be the predominant desire of my soul. Amen.

O Blessed Saint N., glorious citizen of heaven, as I render most humble thanks to God for all the good He hath done thee, so I beseech thee to remember me in thy prayers, and obtain for me the entire remission of my sins, the amendment of my life, and the imitation of thy good spirit and holy graces, that I may be perfectly reconciled to my Saviour, and always please Him; but especially I recommend to thee the hour of my death, that, by thy holy intercession, my soul may depart this world in the grace of God, and immediately come to life everlasting. Amen.
