V. May  the  souls  of  the  faithful  departed,  through the mercy  of  God,  rest  in  peace.

R. Amen.

MY God! I firmly  believe  all  the  sacred  truths which the  Catholic  Church  believes  and  teaches, because Thou,  Who  canst  neither  deceive  nor  be deceived,  hast  revealed  them.

MY God,  trusting  in  Thy  promises  and  relying  on Thy  infinite  power  and  goodness  I  hope  to  obtain pardon for  my  sins,  the  assistance  of  Thy  grace,  and life everlasting,  through  the  merits  of  Jesus  Christ, my Lord  and  Redeemer.

MY God,  I  love  Thee  with  my  whole  heart  and above all  things,  because  Thou  art  the  Supreme Good and  worthy  of  all  my  love. I am  sorry  for having displeased  Thy  infinite  goodness  by  my  sins. I desire  to  do  Thy  holy  will  and  to  love  Thee  more  and more. For the  love  of  Thee  I  will  love  my  neighbor as myself.

he Angel  of  the  Lord declared  unto  Mary.
