 Jesus, make  me  constant  in  faith,  hope,  and  charity, with  continuance  in  all  virtues,  and  resolution  not  to offend  thee.

Make the  memory  of  thy  passion,  and  of  those  bitter pains thou  sufferedst  for  me,  sustain  my  patience,  and refresh me  in  all  tribulations  and  adversity.

Make me  ever  hold  fast  the  doctrines  of  thy  holy Catholic Church,  and  be  a  diligent  frequenter  of  all holy duties.

Let no  false  delight  of  this  deceitful  world  blind  me, no fleshly  temptation  or  fraud  of  the  devil  shake  my heart:

My heart,  which  has  for  ever  set  up  its  rest  in  thee; and is  resolved  to  give  up  all  things  for  thy  eternal reward.

Have mercy  on  all  sinners,  &amp;c.

"Our Lord  Jesus  Christ  humbled  himself,  becoming  obedient  unto death,  even  the  death  of  the  cross." Phil. ii. 8.

Hear these  my  petitions,  O  most  merciful  Saviour, and grant  me  thy  grace  to  frequently  to  repeat  and consider them,  that  they  may  prove  easy  steps,  whereby my soul  may  climb  up  to  the  knowledge,  love,  and  performance of  my  duty  to  thee  and  to  my  neighbour, through the  whole  course  of  my  life. Amen.

Our Father,  &amp;c.

Hail Mary,  &amp;c.

I believe  in  God,  &amp;c.

"At the  name  of  Jesus,"  &amp;c. Phil. ii. 10, 11, as  before.

Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus,  -> enlighten me with spiritual wisdom. Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus,

Jesus, enlighten  me  with,  spiritual  wisdom,  to  know thy goodness,  and  all  those  things  which  are  most  acceptable to  thee.

Grant me  a  clear  apprehension  of  my  only  good,  and discretion to  order  my  life  according  to  it.

Grant that  I  may  wisely  proceed  from  virtue  to  virtue, till at  length  I  arrive  at  the  clear  vision  of  thy  glorious Majesty.
