 Have mercy  on  me,  dear  Jesus,  for  I  am  weak;  O Lord,  heal  me,  who  am  unable  to  help  myself.

Deliver me  from  setting  my  heart  upon  any  of  thy creatures, which  may  divert  my eyes  from  continually looking up  to  thee.

Grant me  grace  henceforth,  for  the  love  of  thee,  to hate  sin;  and  out  of  a  just  esteem  of  thee  to  despise  all worldly vanities.

Have mercy  on  all  sinners,  O  Jesus,  I  beseech  thee; turn their  vices  into  virtues,  and  making  them  true observers of  thy  law,  and  sincere  lovers  of  thee,  bring them to  bliss  in  everlasting  glory. Have mercy  also  on the  souls  in  purgatory,  for  thy  bitter  passion,  I  beseech thee, and  for  thy  glorious  name,  Jesus.

O blessed  Trinity,  one  eternal  God,  have  mercy  on me.

V. Glory be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to  the Holy Ghost.

R. As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  for  ever, world without  end. Amen.

Our Father,  &amp;c.

Hail Mary,  &amp;c.

Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus,  ->  help  me. Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus,

Jesus, help  me  to  overcome  all  temptations  to  sin,  and the malice  of  my  ghostly  enemy.

Help me  to  spend  my  time  in  virtuous  actions,  and  in such  labours  as  are  acceptable  to  thee.

To resist  and  repress  the  motions  of  my  flesh  to  sloth, gluttony, and  impurity.

To render  my  heart  enamoured  of  virtue,  and  inflamed with desires  of  thy  glorious  presence.

Help me  to  deserve  and  keep  a  good  name,  by  a peaceful  and  pious  living;  to  thy  honour,  O  Jesus,  to  my own  comfort,  and  the  benefit  of  others.

Have mercy  on  all  sinners,  &amp;c.
